Carida Academy

Legends Canon version → Linked from 131 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

The Carida Academy was a private, and later state-supported, comprehensive military institution. The institution was known by a variety of names such as Caridan Military Academy, Academy of Carida, Academy at Carida, and Spacers Academy while its unofficial name among the Cadets was Cliffside because of its precarious geographic location, on the Spinara Plateau: a five-hundred-foot dropoff along the east side.

The Academy itself was less than one-tenth of the larger, sprawling Imperial Military Training Base, which typically housed more than one hundred and fifty thousand personnel, mostly human males (mirroring the trends of the Imperial culture), including the recruits, cadets, and instructors.

The Academy formed a triumvirate of elite military institutions along with the academies of Raithal and Corulag and as such it produced a high number of Imperial officer corps.
