The New Republic Military Academy, also referred to as the New Republic Academy, was a military institution of the New Republic that evaluated and prepared potential pilots and soldiers for service.
Following the conclusion of the Battle of Endor, the New Republic founded an educational institution known as the New Academy located on the planet of Chandrila. These academies offered instruction in a range of subjects, including standard flight patterns and fundamental repair techniques. It was observed that some highly skilled pilots were unsuccessful at the academies simply because they lacked the necessary discipline to properly maintain their ships.
After the Battle of Jakku which occurred in 5 ABY, the New Republic established a new flight academy on the world of Hosnian Prime. The chief instructor at this academy was the starfighter pilot Wedge Antilles. Norra Wexley also served as an instructor, and her son, Temmin Wexley, was a student. All three had previously served in the Galactic Civil War. At one point, Pade became a student at the New Academy on Chandrila.
By 28 ABY, the curriculums from the Galactic Empire's academies were being reintroduced into the academies located on Centrist worlds. This was motivated by the perception that the New Republic's academies were inadequate copies of the Imperial system. The New Republic starfighter pilot Joph Seastriker is known to have graduated from the Academy.
Jothan Tiaan Jerjerrod initially enrolled in a military academy on the planet of Ganthel before the academy's commander dispatched him to join Leia Organa's Resistance.
The farmer named Julen Rakab received a recruitment offer to attend the New Republic Academy, but he declined the opportunity.
