The Brotherhood of Darkness founded the Sith academy on Ryloth towards the conclusion of the New Sith Wars as a place to train Sith assassins and spies. Compared to their counterparts in the academies located on Honoghr, Gentes, and Gamorr, the individuals entering this academy displayed a heightened sensitivity to the Force. Recruits were taught how to harness the dark side for purposes of stealth, trickery, and influence. The ones who managed to endure the demanding training program transformed into lethal assassins, favoring the application of the dark side for eliminating targets over the use of physical strength.
