Competition: Back to School

Finished

Back to School

The Shadow Academy is one of the Brotherhood's most valuable institutions, but also its most vulnerable. Under the watchful eye of the Headmaster, sentients from across the galaxy are broken down and remolded in Darth Pravus' image. The uncommitted and ideologically unsettled students, who often chafe under harsh masters, are ripe for recruitment and exploitation.

There are 15 trivia questions visible to subscribers. Answers to these questions can be found: on the main DB website; the DJBwiki articles "Shadow Academy", "Dark Side Degrees", "Shadow Academy Society", "Headmaster"; Farrin's four numbered HM reports; and the Shadow Academy itself.

You get one point for each question answered correctly. Ties will be broken in favor of the entry submitted in the least amount of time. Good luck!
