The Sphere of Biotic Science, also known as the Ministry of Biotic Science and the Pyramid of Biotic Science, was one of the twelve Spheres of Influence within the reconstituted Sith Empire. Established in 4980 BBY along with the Empire's ruling Dark Council, the Sphere was ruled by a member of the Council throughout its history. The Sphere controlled all alchemical and biotic science within the Empire, overseeing the Imperial Medical Corps and sharing joint control of the Imperial Science Bureau with the Sphere of Technology. Darth Acharon was head of the Sphere during the Cold War with the Galactic Republic, and in that position he oversaw the branches of the Empire that dealt in cybernetic augmentation and physical enhancement, often in conjunction with Sith alchemy and magic.[1]
After the Empire's defeat at the hand of the Eternal Empire, the sphere was combined with the Sphere of Technology into the Sphere of Scientific Advancement by Empress Darth Acina.[2]
