Imperial Navy Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor program

The Imperial Navy Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor program, or "Top Gun Academy" for short, was a training site established in secret in 18 BBY under the advisory of Lieutenant Erv Lekauf. The academy was designed to produce elite Imperial pilots who would survive intense combat operations, unlike the expendable cadets from other installations. The average performance of a pilot graduating from the Top Gun Academy was well beyond that of other flight academies in the Empire. Several pilots who graduated from the program went on to serve aboard the ISD Prevention , the IV Imperium  and even as members of Inferno Squad. The academy was located on Naboo, however, they often traveled to other systems throughout the galaxy to gather experience in flying through various environments.
