The School of Torturers, established during the New Order era, was a specialized institution created by Emperor Palpatine. It functioned as the central location for providing intensive instruction in the sophisticated methods of torture.
Jan Ors, a Rebel agent, sought to assassinate the School's director, adopting an Imperial disguise to accomplish this goal. Unfortunately, her true identity was revealed, requiring Kyle Katarn, another Rebel operative, to rescue her.
During the liberation of Coruscant, the director of the School was killed by New Republic supporters.
