Sith Academy

[Irako of the Desert]

Welcome, Force-sensitives. If you're here, I'm sure you're thinking this is just a factory to turn out evil little robots who follow my every command. Please, I'm not Palpatine. I'm not interested in galaxy domination or anything like that. I only want you to reach your full potential as Sith! The Jedi teach a rather lopsided view of the Force. I will teach you everything about it. Not only the Light, but the Dark, and the Shadows in between. To understand the Force, you must examine all of it, just as you must know a being's physiology inside and out to be able to artistically portray it. Now, if you're not afraid, step inside.

Hmmm... A Grey Jedi... And do you still cling to your Jedi views of the greater good before self? I am Sith, I teach the true ways of Sith. Jedi are my enemies and enemies of life. For me to teach you, Grey Jedi, you must prove you are more.

For you, second apprentice. How can there be light if there is no dark? How can there be dark without light? A blind person believes in light, even though they live in perpetual darkness. So too, must we Sith, or else there is no balance. Light and Dark are two sides of the same coin we living beings have engraved. I understand why you would say there is no light or dark, but life has created both. You must prove you understand this before I willl train you.

And is the greater good worth dying for? Those billions of beings who would not extend the same consideration to you? That is slavery, apprentice. Living your life for everyone else in the galaxy is no life at all. The rest of them do not care about your sacrifice and, indeed, don't appreciate it. I do not care if you have a few special people to protect. I myself have a special someone whom I would defend with every iota of my being, if he was in danger. But I would not go around doing things for the "greater good". Such notions are against what it is to be Sith. We live for ourselves and those we care for. We fight to survive, since your kind once tried to wipe us out. I will train you, but I doubt you will reach true mastery of the Dark Side if you fight for the greater good.

And so, the strong survive, and the weak do not. At least you understand that part of Sith. Very well. A few rules for you as my apprentices. There is no experimentation with the Force, period. The Dark Side is a dangerous path to follow. Testing its limits is beyond your abilities now and would only lead to your destruction. I will not tolerate duels of honor. Honor is an empty notion for fools and often leads to death. If you participate in a duel of honor and do not die, I will kill you. I don't allow fools to live. Lastly, my orders are ironclad. Disobey me, and you will die. Without discipline, you cannot ever hope to control the Dark Side. Instead, it will control you and devour you. To follow orders is a type of discipline. Do you both understand?  

[Irako of the Desert]

We won't be staying here. I will train you at the old Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. There is both great light and great dark there. It's also historically a place for the Sith. Many have died there in their pursuit of the destruction of others. It will be your first lesson. Learn from the folly of those before you.
