Sith training is the method by which a Force Adept is forged into a full-fledged Sith. While all methods of Sith training have the same goal of crafting the initiate into a powerful, dark side-fueled weapon, there are many different methods and traditions for doing so, as a result of the frequent reformist actions undertaken by the various Sith Lords. However, many aspects remain constant.

Firstly, as the Sith are possessed of considerably higher standards than the Jedi, their training is a great deal more intensive and much more exclusive. As it is geared towards weeding out the weak, it is quite often potentially lethal. Sith adepts are taught to draw upon their rage and use the Force as a weapon and a tool for personal advancement. Overt displays of power, such as advanced Force techniques and martial prowess, are focused on.

Entering Sith training depends heavily on which organization is dominant. The Sith Empires relied on academic institutions for teaching prospective Sith, while some Sith Lords relied on a much more exclusive system of scouting out prospective Tyros and recruiting them. The primary difference between the two is that the academy system is applied during periods when the Sith are massed together into a political and military force, which required large numbers,while the other system was applied because a much higher standard is needed.

Entry into the Sith academies is again dependent on the rules of the dominant organization. Most prospective Tyros, or as they are also called, students have to be sponsored by one of the academy instructors, however under some Lords, the only requirement is to be Force sensitivity, and the rigorous training regimes themselves are relied upon to weed out unfit candidates. One quality that has allowed the Sith to survive after so many millennia is their ability to adapt. Despite the inherently traitorous nature of the Sith, the Sith Empire's hierarchy is suprisingly rigid, and has a rank structure that ensures that all war efforts do not suffer from infighting. Sith Tyros' fighting capabilities are surpassed only by their rage and selfishness.

The "Sacrifice"

An action stressed by such notables as Lumiya, the sacrifice is not so much a training method as a test of the hopeful's dedication, and as such consists of forcing the hopeful to kill a loved one. The placement of the sacrifice often depends on both the discretion of the teacher and the needs of the hopeful, though it is common to place it at the start to ensure commitment, or at the close as a test.

It should also be noted that the hopeful doesn't actually have to kill or assail his subject himself, but merely facilitate the death to become a Tyro, though this is often seen as a weakness.

The Sith OCC

Sith Tyro is a rank within the Sith Order. The term is used to refer to Force-sensitive apprentices who have only just started on the dark path under the tutelage of a more experienced Sith Lord to rightfully bear the mantle of Sith. Unlike the Jedi Order, the rank of Sith Tyro does not change whether the Tyro has an appointed master or not. This is in line with the Sith hording power for themselves, with only the exceptional able to gain prominence. Despite the namesake, Sith Tyros are not considered to be Sith, per other Sith viewing them as lowly Dark Jedi. Thus, a Sith Tyro must complete their training fully to attain the next rank and become a "true" Sith. This period before becoming a true Sith is marked by much hazing and often death and of course the Trials.
