The Junior Academy of Applied Sciences, commonly referred to as "Junior AppSci", was an academy in Lothal's Capital City. Zare Leonis, Merei Spanjaf, and Beck Ollet attended the school during the reign of the Galactic Empire several years before the Battle of Yavin. The school was renown for its grav-ball, chin-bret, and track and field events. In addition, Junior AppSci was used by the Academy for Young Imperials to recruit prospective Imperial cadets.
