Royal Military Academy

The four Royal Military Academies of the Golden Empire were charged with the education of officers of the Empire's Armada. All four awarded post-secondary degrees; three were initial commissioning institutions, while the fourth acted as a senior service college awarding graduate degrees.

The four Academies were:
 * The Royal Naval Academy on Iscandar, established in 98 ABY
 * The Royal Starfighter Academy on Baes, established in 107 ABY
 * The Royal Army Academy on Vytuia, established in 112 ABY
 * The Royal Institute of Military Science on Iomis, established in 127 ABY

Many of the seniormost officers of the Armada were graduates of the three commissioning academies, and most career officers attended the RISM at some point. A notable exception was Torin Saedrin, who was denied admission to the Royal Naval Academy but went on to become captain of the Sith Star and later an officer of the Royal Starfleet High Command. Some career officers also served stints as teachers at the four academies.

Following the Conquest of the Chiss Ascendancy, Tariun Sakaros made the decision to allow the to remain open as an alternative commissioning academy, although he ordered it to be opened to non-Chiss and installed an Iscali as Commandant to make sure the Chiss complied.
