Some notes about the Academy
The academy itself is very large, and consists of twelve levels (not including the landing area).
The landing area, also referred to as Level Zero, stretches across the "surface" of the planet like a broad silver lily pad. It is kept afloat through a combination of surface tension and a series of artfully adapted spaceship engines. It has the space to accept up to six medium sized spacecraft, and it is where Nor's War Pig can commonly be found.
Level one contains some meeting rooms and the Academy's central control computers. Non-Jedi visitors to the Academy are extremely rare (perhaps no more than one every two decades). When such visitors do arrive, level one is a far into the academy as they are allowed to go. Level one is virtually abandonded most of the time.
Level two contains several important facilities including a small hospital, the academy archives, and the main supply storage rooms.
Level three, the largest of the underwater levels, is devoted to three large meditation halls, one of which is reserved exclusively for the use of the students.
Levels four, five, and six each contain a dormitory, a recreation room, and the private chambers of one of the Academy's staff. All of the students live on these levels. Each of the four training halls (which are located sort of to the sides of the academy) can be reached from these levels.
Level seven contains small offices and personal chambers for the bulk of the Academy's staff.
Level eight contains a vast and impressive botanical garden, where the most of the Academy's food comes from (the rest comes from the ocean itself, through a combination of fishing and underwater cultivation). Each student is expected to work a certain number of hours each week tending to the garden.
Level nine is given over mostly to storage. Since a great number of dangerous objects are kept here, including the whole of Sylara's weapon collection, this level is restricted--the students do not have access to it.
Level ten is the home to several science laboratories. Among the facilities here are a small secondary hospitial, and the backup storage for both the Academy's central computer and the Archives.
Level eleven is empty and unused. It has been sealed off for quite a long time, well before any of you arrived at the Academy. Likely, only master Atharias knows what the original purpose of this level was.
Level twelve is the smallest area of the academy. It contains Master Atharias' private chambers, some storage, and a docking corridor which leads to the Deeprunner, the Academy's own high-pressure submersible vehicle.
