Following completion, students could return to their former lives, but could also continue their education in the Imperial Academy's many senior academies before entering specialized service academies, eventually becoming a member of the Empire's many governmental organizations. Given white and grey uniforms, children in one-year junior academies such as in the Outer Rim world of Lothal's Academy for Young Imperials would often undergo tasks such as facing a programmable obstacle course known as the Well, along with learning the loyalty it took to become a stormtrooper. Some academies began training cadets as young as thirteen years old. Imperial cadets would come to serve in the ranks of the academy, with young children offered classes on pro-Imperial history such as Current Events. Han Solo was a cadet in the Imperial Navyįollowing the transformation of the Galactic Republic into Emperor Palpatine's First Galactic Empire, numerous Republic Military academies and complexes would be transferred under the oversight of the newly formed Imperial Academy system.
