Graduate of Starfighter Operations
Graduate of the Starfighter Operations[edit]
Graduate of the Dark Arts is a graduate qualification of the Imperial University.
Obtaining this graduate title is a great honor. To earn this title demonstrates an intimate knowledge of Imperial and non-Imperial starfighters - both their engineering and design, as well as the tactical implications these designs. Intense devotion to the scholarly study of starfighters and of space combat is needed to earn this degree as it requires passing scores in several different starfighter courses available for study within the Imperial Weapons and Tactics School, plus additional study and work beyond those classes.
Achieving this qualification requires satisfactory completion of the prerequisite certifications "Certificate in Flight Operations" and "Certificate in Starfighter Technology", as well as passing scores of the prerequisite courses "Aviation Tactics" and "Forward Air Controller", and finally passing one or more of the Advanced Knowledge courses studying the A-Wing, X-Wing, Y-Wing, B-Wing, or E-Wing. The applicant must then complete a Graduate of Starfighter Operations Capstone Thesis, demonstrating their knowledge of starfighters with an original work delving into a specific subject within the field. After completing the thesis with a passing score, the applicant can finally request approval of the Graduate of Starfighter Operations qualification.
Similar to other graduate qualifications, Graduate of Starfighter Operations Capstone Theses may be published in the journal of the Imperial University, "Proceedings", adding to the body of knowledge that comprises the Imperial University.
