The Sith Medallion was a medal that was given out by students at the Sith Academy on Korriban during the Jedi Civil War. Bestowed upon Sith hopefuls who had shown some degree of facility with the Force or who had otherwise impressed a student, these medallions signified their preliminary acceptance into the Academy. In order to gain final approval, however, a hopeful had to first contact Yuthura Ban, the Twi'lek apprentice of Uthar Wynn, the Academy's Master, and convince her of their worthiness to attend. Once accepted, the device served as a pass to enter the Academy itself after having left.
