- "There there child, soon you will cry no more."
"Master, subjects of this age rarely survive the slave conditioning procedure."
"I'm afraid the risk is necessary. The natural talent these children possess is too great to be wasted by the Jedi. I foresee an army of Force-talented spies in my service, trained in the dark side to peer into every corner of the galaxy from afar. And my enemies will be helpless against such vision. If the surgery fails, I will have lost nothing." - ―Darth Sidious and RO-Z67
Darth Sidious's secret facility[1] was an outpost maintained by the Sith Lord Darth Sidious in a former mining complex located near a lava lake[4] on the southern hemisphere of the planet Mustafar.[5] During the Clone Wars, the bounty hunter Cad Bane delivered kidnapped Force-sensitive children there, where the Sith Lord planned to have them converted into dark side spies. The facility was destroyed by Sidious and his nanny droids when it was discovered by Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano, two Jedi on a mission to rescue the children.[2]
