Academy

## History

Academy was originally a barren planet used by the Military as a staging area while making the first Alpha Sector planets safe for human habitation.

It was originally chosen to be the Planet First headquarters for Alpha Sector because a lifeless world had no threats from the local ecology and was an ideal place to set up quarantine areas. It was eventually terraformed and expanded to be the Cross Sector *Military* headquarters and Military Academy.

It is also the home for the Civilian Auxiliary Service, Alpha Sector Supply world.

*Academy’s lack of any ocean-sized bodies of water made it look startlingly different from any of humanity’s colony worlds*.

Major Crater Lake is a man made lake that the Military headquarters and academy are situated near it.

### Terrain

Originally Academy was a barren, lifeless planet, but it has since been terraformed. Academy does not have any oceans, and its largest body of water is Major Crater Lake.

### CAS Supply World

As the Military needed supplies, Academy evolved into the Alpha sector Military supply world with full manufacturing capabilities for anything that the military needs including planes. Military Supply is run by the *Civilian Auxiliary Service* (CAS) and is not part of the military. The main CAS area on Academy is located to the east of Major Crater Lake.

### Military Headquarters

Not only is the Military Officer training Academy is located on this planet, but the main Military Command Headquarters is as well. The planet also hosts the main pilot training course and a whole host of other advanced training courses.

There is a large housing area for the Command Military officers and for other personnel stationed here.

Military Headquarters is to the north-west of Major Crater Lake, while the main Military Academy facilities are to the southwest, with additional facilities in other environments across the planet.

### Politics

Academy is not a colony world so does not have any representation in Parliament of Planets.

Legally, Academy is also the Alpha sector Military supply world, and like the supply worlds in other sectors was classed as a specialist planet.

All of the people living on this world have citizenship rights on an additional planet, for those that are born and live their entire life on the planet, as the case of many of CAS's members, they are counted as a citizen of Apollo.

## Flora and Fauna

### Native Species

Academy does not have any native species as it was originally a barren, lifeless planet.

### Earth Species

Earth species on Academy include blackberries, which were originally bred to be thorn-less but have since developed incredibly sharp thorns in response to herbivores like deer. Additionally, Earth spiders (of unknown species) live on Academy.
