Topics in Sith Philosophy, Friday
Lana greeted the students with a smile. "This weekend is Homecoming, so I thought it might be interesting to tell you a bit about my home. Or at least where I grew up. It should give you an insight into Sith philosophy to learn about the Academy.
"I was brought there when I was young; that's often what happens. Some Sith aren't discovered until later in life, particularly if they live somewhere out of the way or don't have much contact with other Sith, or historically if they're not pureblood Sith or human. Conversely, some who are born into Sith families are trained by them and sent to the Academy later. Obviously, it's easier to learn more the earlier you start, but some of the more powerful Sith I know only began later in life. More importantly for the Empire's purposes, it's easier to control what people believe if you indoctrinate them at a young age."
Lana shrugged. "Which isn't to say that's necessarily bad or good. It's simply a fact. And learning what you need to do can be a lifesaver; the Korriban Academy has an extremely high attrition rate, and among those who do survive, there's a thriving market for cybernetic body parts. But those who make it through are strong and capable, and when you're at war, that's what you need."
She nodded to the students. "So, what are the pros and cons of this method, do you think? What changes if any would you make, if it were up to you?"
