"...So don't just dream about applying for the Academy, make it come true! You can find a career in space: Exploration, Starfleet, or Merchant Service. If you have the right stuff to take on the universe, dispatch your application and join the ranks of the proud!"
―Advertisement from an Imperial Space Academy Recruitment tape [source]
The Academy is used to help train your character, improve their abilities, and generally help you get to know other members of the Faction. This area is used for NFU's (Non-Force Users) of any kind. Troopers, Officers, Naval Personnel, etc. all train here in the same place, to ensure there is no discrimination and to create bonds of trust. It is recommended that if you want a training mission, request one from an officer in your area if you wish to do one solo, or request a thread with both of you in it if you wish to do it cooperatively. If you have friends or squadmates, they can train with you, even if they are not in the same field as you are.If you need partners or something more specific, some tags as example of what you can use are listed below. You can make your own tags if what you need is not listed, it's just if it is vague, it may not be very understandable at first.
*Note: Force-Users are currently not within the rosters of NIO, but they may be something in the future.

Trooper Training
Prospective cadets for the Navy or Army without the wealth or connections for a highly-placed reference that could fast-track their career began their applications at the system level, attending regional military schools, pilot institutes, or training academies maintained by an individual planetary or system government. Among these was the Syndaar Military Prep School. These schools varied in quality across the galaxy, with some schools' qualifications being considered highly impressive, other distinctly less so.
Officer Training
Cadets with top scores were invited to take entrance exams for the main service academies, where the Empire trained its most promising Officer Candidates. Each service had its own main academy, supported by a number of schools for specialists, cross-commission training, research and development, and investigations into strategic analysis and theory.
Specialist Training
Training for TIE pilots occurred separately, and subsequent to the Academy, at a flight school, typically located aboard a Star Destroyer. Flight training was reserved for the top graduates of the Sector Naval Academies and Prefsbelt, and was rarely done in a fixed location. The most prestigious was the Flight Academy housed aboard the Venator-class Star Destroyer Vensenor.[16] Flight schools were also located on Carida, and as was the case with Han Solo, honors graduates might be referred to the Prefsbelt Academy for command training, before being posted for further command training in their specialist fields at schools like the highly-regarded Austringer Flight School, which focused on preparing ace pilots to be Wing Commanders.
