Trayus Academy

The Trayus Academy was an ancient Sith academy located on Malachor V.

The academy appears to have a remnant of the ancient Sith Empire, believed destroyed in the Great Hyperspace War.

During the Mandalorian Wars, Revan visited the planet and discovered the academy. The Mandalorians had long held a taboo about the planet (possibly due to the Dark Side energy found there) which Revan used to his advantage. Revan remained in the academy whilst the final battle raged overhead. Eventually the Mass Shadow Generator was triggered, and the planet and fleets destroyed. Within the core of the now-dead rock, the academy remained in perfect condition.

Information revealed by the Jedi Master Kreia suggested that Revan began his new Sith here to fight the old Sith Empire that he had discovered to still exist beyond the borders of known space. He recruited Jedi to his cause, using the power of the academy to corrupt them. Eventually Revan left by himself to take the fight to the old empire.

Years later, Kreia discovered the academy, either taking its name or naming it, becoming Darth Traya. She discovered many of the things that Revan had about the Sith, and she continued Revan's Sith legacy by training assassins in the academy.
