Academy for Young Imperials
Name:Â Academy for Young Imperials
Planet:Â Lothal
Type:Â Military Base
Background:Â The Academy for Young Imperials on Lothal housed and educated recruits for the Imperial Army. Commandant Cumberlayne Aresko and Taskmaster Myles Grint oversaw it. Lothal’s Imperial Academy was a one-year junior academy. At the end of their term, graduates were expected to move on to a senior academy for a longer stint. The very best were allowed to enter a specialized service academy for training with the Imperial Army, Imperial Navy, or the Stormtrooper Corps, while the remainder went straight into other branches of the Imperial Military.
The Academy for Young Imperials was based in Lothal’s Capital City near Lothal’s Imperial Planetary Occupation Facility. The Imperial Academy was near a ten-kilometer field in the Easthills used for running drills. The Academy’s other facilities included interview cubicles, barracks, a mess hall, toilets, showers, office facilities for Imperial training instructors, and a large hangar bay that could accommodate AT-DP walkers, Imperial Troop Transports, and shuttles. The Academy’s assessment hall also hosted a special facility known as the Well that could be used to simulate a wide variety of obstacle courses and challenges. The Imperial Academy’s grounds included a lake and a nearby field used for an obstacle course. The Academy had a large blast door that covered its hangar bay. Besides Imperial officers and trainers, the Academy’s staff included several protocol and astromech droids.
