The Sphere of Mysteries, also known as the Ministry of Mysteries and the Pyramid of Mysteries, was one of the twelve Spheres of Influence of the reconstituted Sith Empire. Publicly, the Sphere was responsible for the protection of Imperial secrets and dangerous lore that were not to be shared. Followers, such as Lord Anathemos, would scour the galaxy in search of holocrons and other sensitive data to lock away. The Sphere was also covertly responsible for the management of assassins and the removal of high-risk targets to the Empire. The Sphere was led by one of the twelve members of the Dark Council and was the only Sphere which was controlled in totality by its Sith leader.

History[]

During the Cold War, Darth Rictus was head of the Sphere. Due to the secretive, and often bloody, work of the sphere, the upper echelons of Imperial society nicknamed the organization the Assassin's Pyramid. Of all the Spheres of Influence, the Sphere of Mysteries was the most covert and secretive. As a result, most citizens of the Empire were not even aware of what the Sphere's true responsibilities were.

After the Empire's defeat at the hand of the Eternal Empire, this sphere was combined with the Spheres of Ancient Knowledge and Sith Philosophy into the Sphere of Sith Doctrine.^[1]
