Jedi Academy(Risian 1)

The Jedi Academy, was founded by Jedi Master Luke Skywalker on Risian 1 in 12 ABY during the era of the New Republic.

Inspired by the parting words of Obi-Wan Kenobi and the several Force-sensitive individuals he had encountered, Skywalker began planning for a unique institution where new and old Jedi could learn together.

Conception of the Academy
Students at the Academy trained in the ways of the Force, learned to defend themselves with a lightsaber, and studied diplomacy, history and more.

Skywalker was known to leave the Academy in times of crisis to help the New Republic,leaving it in the capable hands of one of his established Instructors or even sometimes in the hands of G3P0(Greepo) The Academy Protocal Droid whom has serves varies Jedi Temples,Enclaves for Decades leading to the Jedi Purge.

History
Once the project was sanctioned by Chief of State Mon Mothma, Skywalker asked Leia Organa Solo to come up with a location to set up the academy. Mon Mothma suggested Yavin 4 to Organa Solo, who in turn recommended it to Skywalker. Luke originally thought the idea to be good was persuade by Jedi Master Echuu Shen Jon to look for another location as Yavin 4 was a famous location for the destruction of the first Death Star and when he and Luke visited the moon he sensed the dark presence of the Force.

Skywalker continued to explore the Galaxy picking up information and artificats on the way, he eventually discovered a long lost Jedi Outpost established in the years leading up to the Clone Wars. This outpost was lost during the onslaught of the War and not on any Imperial, Old Republic or New Republic star charts or Data charts in a very remote area of the outer regions the Sector was completely hidden away within a large Nebula.

Luke realizing this was an Ideal place to begin his new Order to protect the training Force users.

After the transition from Old Republic/Old Jedi base to the Jedi academy was complete, Skywalker recruited twelve students
