It should be no big surprise that, once the roleplaying system goes live, we will have a type of society for this purpose. The organization of this society is supposed to be simple, with the titles available only designating a certain level of certification - competent player, gamemaster and advanced gamemaster - instead of being a detailed record of activity.
Now however, the society does need a name. The fictional background for this is that the members of this group are the agents of the Lord Hegemon who roam the subjugated world and provide the Brotherhood (and themselves) with all kinds of resources, may the natives agree with this or not. Thus, I am looking for something suitably dark and oppressive, yet it should be a bit euphemistic in nature - putting "oppressor" in there isn't going to take you far. If you think of Anakin on his mission to pay the Viceroy a "friendly" visit, you have the image the name is to evoke in the terrified masses.
I will collect name ideas in comments under this post and then make a poll out of all suggested ideas plus my own - the most popular one (possibly after several voting rounds) will be the name for the new baby and also net its creator a shiny.
You have a week to make your suggestions (you can enter several names). Please only post serious name suggestions as comments to this post!

Hegemon's Shinobi
Obsidian Zephyr
I have decided on this title because the word order conveys mystery, foreboding, and power.
Obsidian has a double meaning; A hard stone to symbolize resolve and determinantion and the color black to symbolize shadows and darkness among other things.
Zephyr is an amusing synonym of "wind" as in current, and a Sith of any kind (Krath, Obelisk, Sith) must be like wind. Swift, powerful, and, in the case of Tornadoes and Hurricanes, deadly efficient.
((Apologies for the double post))
And here are a few that I have not enough time to detail:
Hegemon's Harriers
Death Heralds
Harbingers of Despair
Sycophants of Chaos
Masters of Discord
( I still like my first one the best...)
Hegemons's Hos
The Shadows of Hagemon?
How about the Dark Predators?
Ok you can all attack me now!
Advocator.
The Dark Eye
The Arbiters
The Hands (of the Hegemon)
How about Dark Harbinger?

I like the Obsidian Zephyr idea. Unfortunately, I can't seem to come up with anything myself right now.

How about a simple "They"? You know: "Oh, no! They are coming!" "Who they?" "THEY!!!!!"
Or, a good old soviet style "Commissar" for members and "Commissariat" for society. It gives a certain feeling.
Inquisitors is nice, plain and simple.
Emissaries.
And BRS - Brotherhood Revenue Service sounds very omnious.
Shadow Weavers
Dark Masons
Dark Smiths
Shadow Prowlers
Ambassadors of the Darkness
Ambassadors of Shadow
The Grand Master's Hand
Why? To keep a touch of the Star Wars universe in our club's blood, the Hand reminiscing the Emperor's Hand, Mara Jade (and possibly others) who devoted themselves to their Master an the Empire and encomplished solo missions.

Something to invoke fear and terror in our enemies... like the Spanish Inquisition.
"No-one expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our main weapon is FEAR!"
So... yeah. Something like that. The Dark Inquisition? Shadows of the Dark Lord?

Twilight Society
Knights of Hegemonry
Voice of the Council.
Tripartite Syndicate
Sodalitas of Judicium, "Society of Judgement"
Judicium of the Hegemon, "Judgement of the Hegemon"
