Located on the Crescent Moon of Minastra (one of two moons that orbit the planet Eonid within the Iris Nebula). It is located there as a waypoint between the planet and the cosmic duties of newly recruited Starlings and Fallen Starling (who are created by Aurora on the same small chunk of moon rock in the North-West of the Crescent City)
Starlings (and Fallen Starling) attend the Academy to learn first year stuff about being a Starling (Using their Starfyre to see constellation lines, Using their Needle and Scissors to make lines to other stars in order to complete a Constellation, using their Element and Starfyre to activate a Constellation, How to Archive a Constellation, Map making, and Filing.)
After the first year, a Starling graduates with a ceremony. Haraleah Moonshine crafts them their new Astralux (their two base weapons combined into one)
After the weapon is forged, the Starling can use their Starfyre to separate the weapons or combine them again, at will.
Because of Eonid and the soul system being connected to nature spirits, some Starlings can acquire a MUSE, or familiar. This isn't required, but an option! There are some classes centered around the animal spirits or Mystical and Unstable Spirit Essence aka MUSE.
After their first year, Starlings spend some time making Constellations for the archives and experience, before coming back to attend the Academy again to learn new Classes they can Evolve into.
A Starling can master up to 4 Classes (known and unknown) and 4 Elements (based on the current element base for their system.)
Some Starlings will combine classes to make new ones, others will only identify as one class but have access to the others and can evolve into them based on the duty/job they're needed for.

Setting: The Academy rests on a chunk of the moon of Minastra. It is only one section of the main area called Crescent City which is located on a huge chunk of the moon that was blown loose when Aurora crashed through it.
It is also connected, by a bridge ,to the Starling Dorms next to it on a different chunk of moon.
Buildings:
Core Academic Building
Moonlit Ward
Moonstone Shoppes: This chunk of moon is home to the different shops, restaurants, and booths Starlings might need to frequent in order to find class materials or to relax.
The Floating Forests: This is where both aerial training and the Harpy can be found. The Harpy live there within the trees in elaborate treehouse nests, and they will also assist with flying courses.
