The Imperial Merchant Galactic Academy provided instruction to non-military spacers who would then serve the Merchant Galactic. This organization was a supply and logistics support fleet for the Imperial Navy during the era of the Galactic Empire. Situated on Rhinnal, the academy's alumni were required to work for a set duration within the Imperial Supply Fleet. Following this commitment, they could pursue independent employment on commercial freighters. The academy's association with the Navy led to its inclusion within the broader Imperial Academy structure.
