Technically, from what I know, Its Sith Acolyte, Apprentice, Lord (Sometimes being called Knight, in Galactic Battlegrounds for instance), Darth (Sometimes being called Master, again, in Galactic Battlegrounds).

 

Politically of course. In terms of power, Lord and Darth pretty much have about the same power generally, as Darth is just a glorified Sith Lord. Darth is given to when a Lord (very rarely anyone below that rank) gets a very important acheivement, such as killing an existing Darth or...well, pretty much just killing someone above you/a very strong enemy, since even if one completes a very difficult assignment, Sith are greedy and don't distribute power too often.

 

Just my two cents =3

Lord was also used by the Jedi for a while aswell. As in Lord Hoth

There is in fact a (working) lore entry about this in-game, which can be found in the Sith Academy on Korriban.

Original Game Codex Text

The Sith Order bestows a number of titles upon its followers, as befits their rank and power. These are the most common:

 

Acolyte: A Sith acolyte has not yet completed his or her trials in the Sith Academy, and may well die before becoming truly “Sith.”

 

Sith: An acolyte who completes the trials and is accepted as the apprentice of a Sith Lord is considered Sith–no more, no less. Any non-Sith, however, is expected to refer to a Sith as “my lord” out of respect.

 

Overseer: An instructor at the Sith Academy is called an overseer. Overseers are often Sith Lords, but that rank is not a requirement; they may simply be Sith with a talent for instruction.

 

Sith Lord: A Sith who advances in the order’s hierarchy will eventually be elevated to Sith Lord. His or her name is preceded by “Lord” in formal address. In the modern Empire, “Dark Lord” is synonymous with this term.

 

Darth: The strongest Sith Lords ascend to the position of Darth. Many take a new name at this point, symbolically embracing their transformation into something greater.

 

Emperor: There has been only one Sith Emperor since the Great Hyperspace War over 1,300 years ago. He is supreme.
