The Office of Student Outcomes functioned as a department within the Royal Imperial Academy situated on Coruscant. Its duties encompassed the monitoring of student achievements and the formulation of strategies to enable instructors to optimize the advancement of their pupils. A policy of the Office was to discourage strong bonds between students originating from the same homeworlds because it perceived such relationships as a potential threat to their allegiance to the Galactic Empire. Furthermore, it was common knowledge that the Office showed preference towards the offspring of generals and other high-ranking Imperial officers when considering promotions.
In a specific instance, the Office orchestrated a scenario where false evidence was used to implicate Jelucan cadet Thane Kyrell in the sabotage of a laser cannon, and then subsequently blamed fellow Jelucan cadet Ciena Ree for the act. This manipulation caused a rift in the cadets' friendship, which persisted until Ved Foslo, another cadet, divulged the truth while inebriated at a ball held at the Imperial Palace approximately two and a half years afterwards. Consequently, the two cadets were able to restore their bond.
