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 The Joint Operations School was considered a special tactical and leadership course; it did not award academic degrees. The Royal Military Academy, Woolwich was the training establishment for officers of the two "scientific" corps of the British Army from 1741-1947. Unlike the other branches of the army, where commissions could be purchased, the artillery and engineers were administered by the Board of Ordnance, who required that officers receive formal training. An academy was opened in the Royal Arsenal in 1720, receiving a royal charter to become the Royal Military Academy in 1741. New buildings were constructed to the designs of James Wyatt to the north of Woolwich Common, opening in 1805. The buildings were extended in 1862 and partially rebuilt in 1873 and 1902.

The Royal Military Academy, Woolwich was the training establishment for officers of the two "scientific" corps of the British Army from 1741-1947. Unlike the other branches of the army, where commissions could be purchased, the artillery and engineers were administered by the Board of Ordnance, who required that officers receive formal training. An academy was opened in the Royal Arsenal in 1720, receiving a royal charter to become the Royal Military Academy in 1741. New buildings were constructed to the designs of James Wyatt to the north of Woolwich Common, opening in 1805. The buildings were extended in 1862 and partially rebuilt in 1873 and 1902. The academy was built in a distinctive Tudor-Gothic style, with the central block having octagonal corner towers in imitation of the Tower of London. With the outbreak of war in 1939 the academy closed. Following the ending of hostilities, the academy merged with the Royal Military School, Sandhurst in 1947 to from the new Royal Military Academy Sandhurst (RMAS) which conducts the training of all British Army officers. The buildings continued in Ministry of Defence use until 2002, when they were declared surplus. Sold to an Irish development company in 2006 for housing and mixed use. Due to the Irish banking crisis, much of the proposed development failed to be completed, and ownership passed to the Irish Government's National Assets Management Agency (NAMA). 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 The Joint Operations School was considered a special tactical and leadership course; it did not award academic degrees. 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 Chiss Academy 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.
