The New Academy for Space Pilots, a flight school of the Rebel Alliance, existed on an unidentified world.
General Oleson of the Rebel Alliance was in charge of the New Academy for Space Pilots. Its purpose was to provide instruction to the pilots who made up the Planetary Pioneers.
After the Battle of Yavin had occurred, Luke Skywalker was a student at the New Academy for Space Pilots as part of the Planetary Pioneers. While there, he took action to eliminate a maverick moon that was headed towards a collision with the planet where the academy was situated. After the moon was obliterated using Zukonium rays, Princess Leia Organa presented Skywalker with a medal of honor in recognition of his saving both the planet and the academy.
