The Pit - As it was more eloquently known as, was large room divided into smaller sparring rings, its function serving as a training ground for Sith of all experience levels, though it was often a beating ground of Acolytes and Sith Knights alike. Each ring had a detachment of Akguza Guards, powerful droids that learned from their opponents as they fought and adapted their combat to more efficiently counter and react to them. The sounds of buzzing electrostaffs and breaking of bones could be heard as the droids who functioned as sparring partners mercilessly beat down their less experienced opponents. The Pit was a brutal test of strength and endurance for many, and those who came to it came fully well knowing that they will be broken and reformed into more effective fighters with each visit.
A Knight had raised his arms in victory after having successfully dismantled an Akguza Guard, however his victory was short lived as two Akguza Guards entered to engage him. The droids worked in unison, one moving to knock the Knight's saber to the side while the other attacked from the flank. Victory in battle was never assured, and one must be prepared to face an unknown number of enemies in a battle, like a hoarde. If they did not possess the strength of will and equivalent skill to handle that, they may as well be dead. There was no victory to celebrate without the eradication of the enemy and their surrender.

Kor Vexen, the Lord General of the Dark Emperor's Legions observed the rings from above as he had his hands were held behind his back, looking upon the Acolytes and Knights with disdain despite his features being hidden behind his helmet. In one ring he watched as a Knight had his ribs caved in by an Akguza Guard using exclusively Teras Kasi, sending the Sith flying across the floor till he was a motionless slump on the ground that had to be dragged off to the medical bay. Vexen's gaze shifted as he watched an Acolyte continue to take beatings from an electro staff for failing to properly cover their exposed areas, punishing her severely until her body had seized up and eventually collapsed. Vexen was more or less unimpressed by all that he saw, wondering if perhaps the Sith had become lax with their training methods. He wondered if there was those with any potential among those who had come to The Pit.-
