Sith Youths

"Long live the Empire."

- Sith Youths salute

Based on the concept of the Galactic Empire's Sub-Adult Group, the Sith Youths, was the Sith Order of Decreto's answer to the high rate of undisciplined young adults joining the Sith army following the Successors War. Exceeding two trillion members by the height of the the Sith Empire, and was made up of enthusiastic youths who firmly believed in the Sith Order of Decreto, and the Imperial Armed Forces.

The Sith Youths was overseen by Sith officers who drilled Sith propaganda and doctrine into the minds of the young members, keeping them ignorant of most of the Empire's darker aspects. Members were also trained in military tactics and it was here that most officers were chosen.

When the members of the Sith Youths came of age, and were properly indoctrinated, they would officially join the ranks of the Imperial Armed Forces, or in some cases StarFleet Command.

EduForce
This branch of the Sith Youths was tasked with bringing education (Sith history and more) to the worlds of the Empire, specifically to the younger and easily manipulated minds of the Empire's children. As a result of EduForce's work, the Sith Youths, and the Sith military's reputation was largely positive, and EduForce was easily the more popular branch of the Sith Youths on almost every world served by them.

Highly dedicated and well organized, EduForce believed in the future of the Sith Order of Decreto and "educated" people to make them better galactic citizens. The Sith Intelligence was often at odds with EduForce, but EduForce's popularity limited what actions could be taken; without incurring the wrath of the Dark Lord.

RecreForce
Designed to bring "wholesome activities" to all Sith Youths members, RecreForce was responsible for many sporting activities, such as the ever popular Wegsphere. Members of RecreForce typically ignoreed suggestions made by the military, and acted on their own with regards to the activities they establish. This made them extremely head-strong, but very over-confident in their positions and many were removed by the Sith Intelligence Agency.

Many members of RecreForce wished to join the Imperial Armed Forces in the future, and as such RecreForce had devoted several activities to train and prepare these young members for IAF training, which was notoriously difficult and intense. They underwent harsh physical training and participated in many wargames as an introduction to military training.

Motivation
The Motivation branch of the Sith Youths handled members who had shown signs of dissent or had failed to live up to the ideals of the New Order. Motivation almost always succeeded in turning their troubled youths into useful, dedicated citizens who would serve the Empire well.

Handled by the youth branch of the Hand, what "motivation" actually incurred is unknown.

Recruitment
Recruitment was responsible for recruiting young children and teenagers into the Sith Youths, offering impressive incentives to parents to send their children off to become better citizens under the New Order. So successful was the recruitment branch of the Sith Youths that, five years after the Octom War membership had reached ten trillion.
