The Imperial Academy is a component of the largest and most capable government the galaxy has ever seen, the Imperial Academy is the heart of the Galactic Empire’s educational system for military, governmental and economic personnel. Staffed with the finest minds of the Empire, the Imperial Academy is a network of educational institutions that provides unsurpassed levels of training to the officers and officials that are employed throughout the galaxy to ensure peace, prosperity, and justice for all of the Emperor’s worlds.
Structure
The Dean of the Academy is responsible for the supervision and direction of the Imperial Academy. The position of Dean is appointed by the Grand Vizier and answers to the Secretary of the Coalition of Culture. The Assistant Dean of the Academy is to aide the Dean in his duties and to also lead in the Dean's absence.
The Assistant Dean is also responsible for training recruits if his workload allows it. The Training Officers are the front-line personnel responsible for training recruits at the Academy. These Officers are selected from Imperial Officers within the Empire who dedicate their time to help develop future Imperial Officers.
History
Imperial Basic Training has an illustrious history, starting in Year 7 the Universitas Imperius (as the Imperial Academy was then known as) was formed after an overhaul of the Imperial educational system. Taking advantage of the latest technologies, universities were established in every capital planet in Imperial-controlled systems as part of the Universitas Imperius Education System (UIES).
Under the leadership of Chancellor [Rann Van], appointed by the Ministry of Operations as the dean of Universitas Imperius, several colleges under the UIES were formed, including the School of Acting, Officer's College, School of Engineering, School of Army Studies, School of Navy Studies, and School of Law and Foreign Relations. Following Van's retirement, Tec Vaan was appointed as the new Chancellor of the UIES. Upon the reunification of the New Imperial Order and the Galactic Empire, Universitas Imperius was renamed the Imperial Academy.
In Year 15 the Empire restructured the Imperial Academy once again. Eliminating the position of Commandant and making the Dean the Highest position in the Academy leadership. The current structure saw the closing of many campuses throughout the Empire. Consolidating training into one centralized location helped utilize the Empire's resources to its maximum efficiency. This also saw the creation of new and advanced training Colleges that concentrated on specific programs directed at the specialized training required for the many positions within the Empire. These new Colleges are:
- The College of Government Sciences
- The College of Space Warfare
- The College of Land Warfare
- The College of Engineering
- The College of Strategic Intelligence
- The Command College
