It seems to happen to all the Sith.

I remember well the soul sucking effect of school. Be brave things do get better.
wooden farts there on the go
In KOTOR I when at the Sith Academy you sometimes see students duelling with swords as part of their lessons. I know that in other times the Sith used different training tools but I went with what I remembered seeing in the game. Also in that era people did fight Sith with swords made from a special metal that allowed the blade to withstand a lightsabre so Gothic needed to learn sword fighting so that he will be prepared should he have to face someone who has a sword.
I think most Jedi would be able to protect themselves from a Force Choke even one done by Vader. Its mentioned in the first Darth Bane book that there is away to protect from Force attacks with a sort of Force shield.
Or you could just hang up the space phone.

"The Force will change you. It will transform you. Some fear this change. The teachings of the Jedi are focused on fighting and controlling this transformation. That is why those who serve the light are limited in what they accomplish. True power can come only to those who embrace the transformation. There can be no compromise. Mercy, compassion, loyalty: all these things will prevent you from claiming what is rightfully yours. Those who follow the dark side must cast aside these conceits. Those who do not—those who try to walk the path of moderation—will fail, dragged down by their own weakness." - Darth Revan

After... well actually I had no idea how long I'd been at the academy, but it was way too long to be sober and I hadn't had any fun that didn't involve being naked for quite a while now so it was understandable that I wanted to go out for a drink. And if you wanted a drink the only bar worthy of mention, and possibly the only one on the whole planet, was in the small colony of Dreshdae.
The Drunk Side, a name I thought was very amusing, was a hangout for the Sith, their students, those who wanted to become students as well those evil, and sometimes foolish, enough to be willing to drink with the Sith. It was also a haven for bounty hunters, mercs, gunrunners and smugglers
Yuthura Ban, my 'lover' and most recently my instructor in the art of killing people with cool laser swords spent quiet a bit of time here and since I was her... well toyboy was the only label I could think of.. I had to spend a lot of time here as well.
Not that I minded as I was scary enough to ensure that the alien bartender didn't rip me off and it was amusing to see the wannabes acting all tough. In my last life I might have been intimated by such noobs but I was a lot more dangerous than they were and unlike them I had the power to back up my threats.
Also coming to this bar was highly profitable. Already I had made enough money to purchase a rather exotic energy shield. The shield could, in theory at least, block a lightsabre blow but it took the from of a shield like those of medieval times back home so not many people would be able to use one, but I could since I had at least basic idea of how to block a sword blow with a shield. Of course I wasn't eager to test it but any ace up your sleeve you can get is worth having.
Mika Dorin, the Rodian who ran the bar, didn't just sell rare and high tech stuff. He also had a number of Sith artefacts, some of them possible real, but they were above my price range as of yet since hopeful newbies wanting advice on becoming a student didn't tend to have a great amount of money.
Becoming a regular of this establishment had other advantages. For one thing I could very soon be doing Ban's job, so it was important for me to learn how she sorted the wheat from the chaff. I had to know who was worth letting into the academy and who wasn't so it would serve me well in the long run to watch her work. Another good reason was that one day, hopefully soon, the Ebon Hawk would land in the space port and I wanted to here on that day so that I could introduce myself to Revan, and declare myself an ally from the moment she landed.
The best way to do that would be to led her to the Star Map which was in the unused tomb of Sith Lord Naga Sadow. It was unused become Sadow's real tomb was on Dxun, the moon of Onderon.
I knew it was guarded but I didn't yet know where in the Valley of the Dark Lords it was. In any case I wasn't ready to deal with whatever was protecting the tomb, at least not by myself and I didn't have anyone expendable to go in there with me.
That was yet another good reason to be in at the bar. Information was for sale here.
"Hey".
A female voice rarely failed to get my notice but when I turned around I felt no desire to pay this woman any attention.
"I'm Lashowe".
I said nothing in return but I did take the moment to study the short haired blonde. She had a military haircut, which managed to make her seem very unattractive, blue eyes and a somewhat decent rack. The way she moved and the way she spoke told me she was a butch lesbian and while another person's sexuality is of no concern to me (and nor should it be unless they shared my bed) I didn't want to waste time with a women who wasn't going to sleep with me.
Partly this was because the closet thing I'd had to a girlfriend for a while now had totally disappeared and while Yuthura was satisfying my sexual urges I really missed having a girl I could dominate in the bedroom, even if was just part of the time.
Ban had total control over my personal life right now and I hated that so I'd been looking for someone who could be made to submit to me.
This Lashowe was not going to be that girl so I had no use for her. Well not unless she could tell me who her tailor was because her uniform looked much cooler than mine.
"I hear you can help a potential gain entrance".
"Piss off" was the only thing I said by way of reply.
I wasn't normal this hostile to the noobs but this woman was already testing my patience. She couldn't seem to take the hint that we were just two very different people who would get on each other's nerves if we spent any time together.
Rather than do the smart thing and leave me alone Lashowe decided to move so that she blocking my view of a female Zeltron smuggler who had earlier in the day given me a sly smile and was even now looking at me. Zeltrons were known to be more flexible in bed than a Twi'lek and far more gullible. I so had to have her.
"Talk to me" the butch woman demanded.
"Sit down" I told the short haired Sith wannabe.
With the Force I moved the chair out and Lashowe did as she was told. Before she could say anything else I used my skill with telekinesis (which was improving all the time) to slam the uniformed woman's head into the table and hold it there.
I then moved my head so I could whisper into her ear.
"You want to be powerful, you want be feared. You just arrived and want to make sure that your not seen as weak. I can understand that I even admire your courage. But you picked the wrong person to intimate. The very being you needed to impress in order to get into the academy is watching us right now. She is seeing how easily I am dealing with you".
Ban was indeed watching me right now. I got the sense that she was a little aroused by what I was doing but my more subtle uses of the Force weren't precise enough to confirm that this act was making her horny.
"If I kill you she will congratulate me for making her life a little easier".
She did let me go on top the last time I killed someone so it might happen again if I broke this woman's skull open. But lucky for Miss crew cut I saw a way she could survive our meeting.
"But I may have some use for you".
I was pretty sure that this future student was new to the academy when Revan arrives so unless it took the better part of a year for a hopeful Sith to gain entrance it meant that the current Dark Lord should soon be captured by the Jedi. Then it would only be a matter of weeks, or possibly months depending on the order of the worlds the Ebon Hawk visited, before Revan arrived.
I let the potential Sith go and to her credit she didn't run away. I certainly would of have if I were in her shoes.
"Now I have one favour to ask you Lashowe. While your here waiting to get into the academy I want you to take note of what ships land. If a ship called the Ebon Hawk arrives and I am not here you will call me to let me know".
As a piece of luck I had a comlink on me that connected to the one I carried to keep in touch with my instructor when in different parts of the colony. I gave the hopeful Sith the spare and then told her.
"Should you be successful I will speak to Ban and ask her to let you into the academy. Once you are inside seek me out I'm sure we can be of use to each other".
Once I was sure she understood how things were I said one more thing.
"Leave"
And she did.
"Now that was entertaining" remarked Ban as she came and sat down to me as soon as Lashowe was gone. Like me the Twi'lek kept her back to the wall in order to help avoid knives.
"I honestly thought she would cry" I replied.
Once you got past the whole morality thing, being a Sith was rather fun the masters encouraged us to embrace our passions and to indulge our urges, within certain limits such as not getting caught with dead bodies, and I was really enjoying the indulging part.
"Why didn't you kill her?" inquired my teacher.
"I saw a use for her" was all I said.
Yuthura hand started to rub my leg.
"Shame she wasn't your type".
Well no she wasn't but I had my eyes elsewhere anyway.
"The Zeltron" observed the Twi'lek "they are a Human sub-species".
"Near Humans" I corrected.
I'd read up on my Near Humans and Humanoids in order to make sure that I only seduced a species I had compatible anatomy with. Zeltrons were close to Human and they could even have offspring with a Human although it was very, very rare.
"You could breed with her?" asked Yuthura.
For a second I wondered if Ban had just read my mind, but I dismissed the idea as that level of telepathy was very uncommon among Force Users. It was possible but I didn't think the Twi'lek female could do it.
"It could happen" I admitted.
Why was that important? The chances of me getting an alien pregnant even a near Human one were very remote.
"If you like her I'll buy her for you".
Now that was very odd. Ban didn't agree with slavery but it then struck me that she might mean buy as in paying the pink skinned, blue haired alien to sleep with me.
''I don't think she's for sale" I commented.
Yuthura waved the concern away.
"Everyone has a price, besides she likes you anyway I just need to give her some encouragement. And in any case its her captain that will need paying, his ships due to leave in a few hours".
Ah so she meant to bribe the smuggler ship's captain. That was okay with me. I wouldn't pay for sex but bribing a smuggler so that you could sleep with one of the crew was acceptable to me. My morals were somewhat absent these days but I did have some standards.
Ban vanished for a few moments and twenty long minutes later the Zeltron was sharing my table with me.
"Buy a girl a drink" she requested.
Well this might be Ban's way of buttering me up in order to further our alliance but right now I really didn't mind.

While her student was left waiting the Sith Apprentice Yuthura Ban took the Zeltron female aside.
"He's noticed you" informed the Twi'lek "now for stage two".
Zanii the undercover agent for the Sith currently pretending to be a smuggler in order to infiltrate a group of possible pro-republic gunrunners smiled as she got the news.
"He's got a weakness for pretty girls. He'd do anything to get me into bed".
Ban found it amusing that a Zeltron was commenting on another beings willingness to go to extreme lengths in order to feel good.
"Yes he does like sex, but he's also extremely powerful so don't let anything slip between the sheets".
Zeltrons had the ability of empathy which allowed them to sense the feelings of others. If the Sith student called Gothic did come to suspect Zanii the blue haired alien would know it.
"Relax I can handle this" assured the operative "I'll play the dumb slut for him. He won't suspect a thing".
Yuthura wasn't so sure that Gothic would be that easily fooled he was smarter than that he would at least suspect that Ban was trying to buy his loyalties, which was in fact one of her goals, but she also need someone to distract her future apprentice from the fact that his last lover had gotten pregnant and then suddenly left.
If the Human from another galaxy ever discovered why Khar had really been sleeping with him and that Yuthura was behind it then Ban would lose any chance she to use Gothic as a weapon against Wynn. He might even side with the Sith Master against her.
A new bed partner was just the thing needed to keep Gothic distracted. And as an added bonus the Zeltron would inform her if Gothic was doing anything behind her back.
"Then go" ordered the Twi'lek "drink with him, flatter his ego, offer yourself up as a permanent companion or even a pet if that's what he wants, keep him distracted from everything but his studies. Most of all, and this is important, do not fall in love with him".
The Zeltron smirked and said.
"Love is for the weak".
Well it wasn't actually love that Yuthura Ban was concerned about. She was almost certain that her young bed partner had some strange Force ability that drew women, and perhaps even men should he care for their presence, to him. Vaasta Khar hadn't wanted to leave the father of her child. Ban had needed to threaten her, and more worryingly Yuthura herself had almost submitted the Earth native after seeing him kill the Sith marauder. There was something about her hopeful future apprentice that made her worry about spending to much time with him, but she just couldn't stand the idea of not being with him.
Another good reason to give him a whore was that it might tire him enough that she didn't need to spend so long getting her samples.

"Are you coming back to bed?" asked my new lover Zanii.
I ignored her and kept trying to understand what it was I was reading. It was difficult to sort between what was gossip and what was news on the holonet, but slowly I was starting to piece together that the Republic had just enjoy a major victory over the Revan's Sith.
If I was any judge Shan had employed her battle meditation which would explain how the outnumbered Republic fleet had turned the tide of the small battle.
Revan herself hadn't been there so I still had plenty of time before the Dark Lord arrived here on Korriban seeking the Star Map but it would it be enough time to complete my training?
"Come back to bed" requested Zanii.
The sexy Zeltron seemed determined to keep me up all night so I was very grateful that Sith quickly learn how to go into a restful trance that can replace sleep and only takes a few hours to complete.
"Aren't you tired?" I asked the pink skinned babe.
"Are you satisfied?" she replied.
Truth be told I didn't think I'd ever truly be satisfied with what I had. As a Sith I'd always be striving for more, but that didn't mean that I couldn't enjoy what I had in the meantime.
"I have studies" I reminded the Zeltron.
"You can study tomorrow" she pointed out "I'm not going to be here for long".
That was a good point I should make the best use of the time she and I had together.
"Such a shame you can't stay longer" I said while getting back into bed with the naked babe.
The Zeltron crawled on top of me and made a suggestion.
"Well I could talk to my captain and see if he would sell you my contract".
Zanii had already explained to me that she had signed a service contract that kept her working with smugglers for the next year but it was a little too close to slavery for my taste. I really didn't want to have to buy a person just so I could fuck her, but neither did I went her to leave.
"I'll talk to your captain tomorrow" I promised the woman.
I was a big scary Sith now so no smuggler was going to say no to me even if I didn't offer a lot of money for one of his crew.
"Please do" she replied "because if you don't I won't be able to do this again".
Before I could ask what she meant by that statement. Zanii's head disappered beneath the sheets and she started to do something that felt very good with her mouth.
Oh I so had to keep her around.
