Academy at Sab Rufo

The Academy at Sab Rufo was an academic insitution where Obo Rin claimed to have graduated with two doctoral degrees. He also claimed to be Director of Sentientology there. These were among the credentials which led the Galactic Empire to commission him to write the Catalog of Intelligent Life in the Galaxy.

Imperial Intelligence Major Herrit, who was suspicious of Rin, did a background check on him. His investigation led him to believe that the Academy, and for that matter the planet, did not actually exist. Although Darth Vader's aide Captain Solistein claimed that Lord Vader had visited Sab Rufo, it is unclear if the Academy itself existed. Even if the Academy existed, Rin may not have been associated with it.
