Training of Fleet officers takes place at the Academe, which has satellite campuses throughout the Alliance Core. The first campus, and still the home of the Commandant, is in Terracentrus, on Selnor. There are purportedly 21 other campuses.
A collection of low-lying buildings occupied the northernmost edge of the estate; as she drew nearer she saw a regal house rising against the fringe of the southern side. As she approached, she saw two guards, dark Hinichi with stern expressions, tails rigid despite the wind. Behind them on three tall poles, the Academe flew the Alliance flag, the Fleet’s, and Fleet Academe’s.[1]
Customs and Traditions
- Commencement. Currently held at the Terracentrus public amphitheater and open to the general public. The commandant presides over the ceremony and gives the rank braids.
Administration
Prior to Brighthaven's intervention, tuition at the Academe on a typical colony was a fourth of the cost of what it was on Selnor. [2]
Locations
- Blue Smoke, a bar on or near the campus[3]
- Ralafin Park; has a bulletin board where information like room assignments are posted[1]
- Auditorium antechamber: "The Alliance’s flag hung there over a pedestal, its glory implied by its setting: the rounded heights of the wall were space-black, jeweled with pinpoints of stars, some labeled, others not, each pricked from the tapestry by subtle holographics."[4]
- Administration building: "The inside of the building had been built of cold gray marble, but designed with lines so austere it defied awe. There were no plants to break the chill. Even the wooden furniture had been stained a gray-brown."[5]
- The on-campus residence of the Academe commandant, at the southeast; an "elegant, colonial-style manor."[6]
- An orbital station in orbit over Selnor.[6]
