⬢ CURATED RECORDCarida is an academy world: high gravity, worse weather, and an Imperial (once Republic) preference for officers who have been broken and rebuilt. Stormtrooper and naval cadets wash out here in public.
Legends destroyed it with the Sun Crusher. Canon still lists Carida as the prestige school of the war machine. Searches for 'Imperial academy planet' land here more than on Lothal's lesser dome.
First appearance: Expanded Universe academy stories; Jedi Search (1994) for the destruction
