Prospective Sith

Prospective Sith, or hopefuls as many Sith called them, were individuals who wanted to be administrated into the Sith Academy| on Korriban. Many of these were normal individuals who wanted a more better lifestyle then others, while others were former Jedi lured by the Dark Side.

History
During the Jedi Civil War many hopefuls attempted to join the Sith Academy hoping to wield power. To be accepted into the Sith Academy one must impress Sith Students enough to be given a Sith Medellian, the final decision rests with Yuthera Ban who would then bring the Prospective Sith in to be trained. However because most, if not all, Sith were cold-blooded, didn't tolarate failure and intend not to make "apologies for the weak", as Yuthera Ban puts it, many end up getting killed.

When Shardaan got tired with three hopefuls who kept answering moral questions about the Sith incorrect. He was so exhasted he couldn't make up his mind about what to do with them, but his most preferable choice was to kill them with Force Lightning. When he asked Revan what to think, Revan convinced him to let them go.

Other Prospective Sith were tricked into doing foolish tasks for other Sith's entertainment. Mekel, in particular convinced a few to to stand in one place promising to admit whichever person was able to take the longest without food, water, or sleep. However he never intended to admit any into the academy and after Revan objected to this to which Mekel only left with a huff and a half-hearted threat. After Mekel left, Revan convinced the hopefuls to abandon their quest to join the Sith (some by convincing them of the truth and some by lying and saying they didn't make the cut).

When Revan managed to aquire a Sith Madellian he was approached by a couple of Prospective Sith who wanted it as well, he convinced them to abandon their quest to get one.

Whether their were any during any other time is unknown.
