The Sith Academy is now abandoned. It is unsafe of any force user to meet in such a place.

This remote, forbidding planet, seething with dark side energy and echoing with the whispers of a thousand ghosts, was the burial world of the ancient Sith Empire, and has long been a sacred planet for the Sith Order. It is orbited by seven moons, and was unknown to the Old Republic before the rise of Naga Sadow. It was to Korriban that the ancient Dark Jedi fled after they were exiled by the Jedi Knights during the First Great Schism. Korriban was orignally inhabited by the Sith race, a relatively simple, red-skinned people. The Dark Jedi amazed the Sith with their training in the Force, and soon elected themselves to a god-like status, becoming the rulers of the Sith. As the years passed, interbreeding occured between the human Dark Jedi and the Sith, and it was not long before the Sith race in its original form became extinct.

Korriban is a desolate world which, under the pall of Sith magic, has become more hellish and dangerous. The Sith Lords erected huge palaces and burial complexes to honor their fallen Dark Lords. Whenever a Dark Lord died, his mummified corpse was interred with great ceremony in the Valley of the Dark Lords. After the fall of the Sith Empire, the planet lost much of its prominence.

It was briefly resettled during the reign of Darth Malak, and was home to the settlement of Dreshdae and a Sith training academy. However, with the death of the Dark Lord at the hands of Revan, the Sith Order collapsed into civil war and the world was once again abandoned.

Seven years after his death at the Battle of Endor, Emperor Palpatine, resurrected by the ancient Dark Lords as the insane embodiment of the dark side of the Force, visited Korriban for the last time in a vain attempt to stop the decay of his last clone body.

It once was the Sith Academy, but to this day remains untouched. Maybe it will once again be the Sith Orders home.

His Sith Fighter landed in the ruins of what appeared to be a landing pad and jumped form his ship. His dark hood was pulled up around him as he looked around and smiled.

"Home sweet home."

His voice was deep and cold as he looked around and spoke to himself. He stepped forward and let a hand rest on his vibrosword as he made his way into the ruins of the old settlement, he had to get through them to get to the ancient sith academy on the other side. Revan one of the greatest sith lords of all time held domain here once so many millenia ago. He would search the ruins of any idea on where the sith were now and any artifacts of Dark Side power.

He would not be denied he would have blood shed and he would be trained by the sith just as he was by the mandalorians. He needed to know more about the force and one particular Sith Lord to finish something started aeons ago. This war that Lord Magnus had started was glorious and he could see the fall of the jedi as a definate thing. He would see to it personally.

The door was in sight now and the Kath hounds nipping at his heels as he ran. He was twenty feet from the door when the queen hound came into sight and growled at him as he ran towards her. If he tried to melee fight her the pursuing hounds might get him, drawing his blaster he aimed the best he could while running and shot off a couple rounds aimed at her eyes.

They missed as the gun bounced or hit the wrong spot all but one, one his her left eye and she let out a bellowing howl. In pain the hound started running around blinded on one side she ran in circles. Shooting at her legs he slowed her and using her as leverage jumped on her back and from there drop kicked the crumbling door. It fell open and he rolled outside and down the rusted metal ramp, as soon as he hit dirt he was up blastered aimed and sword ready for the on coming hounds.

Through the cloud of dust caused by the falling door the houds slowly walked out with their scarred queen leading them. Still to many for him to take with a blaster and vibrosword. If only his father had taught him some force techniques he thought as he began looking for a way to stall them.

Just as he was coming to the top of the settlement the Kath Hound Queen jumped on the pillar snarling and as mad as ever. She was making her way to him when the rapid beeping noise peirced through her snarles and then the explosion sent her flying into the air. He watched as her smoking body hit the ground with a crack and laughed as she whimpered still alive dying slowly. Turning away his robes billwoing he replaced his hood over him and walked to the edge of the other side looking down at his ship. Jumping from the building tops to a boulder he then jumped to the ground landing softly. As he walked to his ship he thought about what he would bring with him the next time he returned.

He would be back he was sure of that. It would be better if he had the basics of the force and his fathers repaired lightsaber with him. Coming to his Sith Fighter he boarded and the engines revved up. What was left of the Kath Hound Pack was coming to the docking area now and were circling him slowly as he began to lift off. Turning around he waved at the Hounds mockingly and shot off into the eastern sky.

"Well so much for that he thought as he entered space."

Dravyn arrived on the planet once more although he was more prepared this time. Over the last week he had searched and searched and searched, finally he found a technition that knew enough to teach him how to rebuild a lightsaber and how to upgrade them. He had fixed his fathers and now he was returning to Korriban to search for any teachings so he could learn how to weild the weapon and the dark side of the force so far he had just barely mastered control over force scream. All he had to do was think of times of anger and frustration and he would do it soon he would be able to do it no matter what.

After landing on the planet in the ruins of the settlement he jumped from his fighter and noticed the hounds were dead now from some one else who had come to the planet. Walking up to the door he entered the settlement and listened for the hounds and heard nothing so far so quietly he moved on towards the exit and entrance to the sith temple.

His vibroblade was at his side still since he had not mastered the saber and he pulled it out now as he advanced.

He was now inside the academy the forgotten academy and setting in a old sith room relaxing on the bed. Thinking back on the day before when he had blew the bridge to hell and killed those two hounds that made it over. He had killed the first one by ramming his sword into the top of his skull and leaving it there while he used his blaster to finish off the last one with a few precise shots to the head and vital parts of the body. Upon entering the academy he had snuck around most of the hounds and found this room to think on his next move. He would have to get to the upper levels where the training room was and work stations so he could improve his saber.

He was holding it now and ignited it looking at its crimson blade marveling at the feel of it and thinking on how many had fallen to it while his father weilded it. Jedi and Sith both had died with this saber being the last thing they saw and many many more would still die.

The thought made him laugh psycoticly. Putting the saber away he sat on the bed and decided he would start his training int he force here and now. Closing his eyes he calmed his mind and felt for the force. He found it and to his dismay it was only averagly flowing through him like it did other force users, unlike the jedi and letting it flow through him and guide his movements he grabbed at it and brought it to him feeding it with past memories and emotions.

This would help it grow and it would take time but it would be great and of so powerful and worth it. As he did this his senses hightened and he could hear faintly and feel the other creatures around him, this feeling grew every thirty minutes or so and he could hear and feel more with each passing half hour.

Two days back he had got into the door and found the malfunctioning components and fixed or replaced them the best he could. The door was shut now but he had not tried to open it fearing it might not close again but the question of whether it would open or not was there too. In the mean time he had been training with the saber and a training droid that he also had to repair and had taken him most of yesterday to do it and it once almost killed him when he put it into tenth level training mode on accident. He was on third level now and advancing rather quickly unlike the jedi who believe in patience. The saber was becoming a part of him with each level he went up.

With about twelve levels in all he would be done in no time if he was able to train the rest of the day without stopping. Through this training his frustration, anger, and rage all came together when he would fail and he would have to direct his attack his force scream to a wall inorder to not destroy the droid.

Once this training was finished he would go across the way and search for any holocrons to increase his strength on the force faster. When his force was better if he found something to helo in that training then he would reprogram the droid to go beyond its own limits, this way he would gain training of a sith lord without one being there. It would be taxing no doubt but in time this training would pay off, it would help him crush the jedi and or any opposing sith.
