Named for the heroic aerospace fighter pilot who killed ilKhan Leo Showers during the Clan Invasion, the Tyra Miraborg Memorial Academy was the Free Rasalhague Republic's premier post–Clan Invasion military academy.[1]

History[edit]
Responding to the loss of the Radstadt Academy during the invasion, the Free Rasalhague Republic allocated funds in 3054 to open two new KungsArmé military academies, the armor and infantry focused Frihet Training Facility and Tyra Miraborg Memorial. Opened in 3056, TMM has had full classes every year since then, receiving more applicants than available spaces.[1]
Dark Age[edit]
Tyra Miraborg Memorial Academy (TMM) lies in Rasalhague Dominion space, and it primarily serves the Rasalhagians. Generally, those who attend TMM seek a military education in order to participate in a Trial of Position to enter the Rasalhague Dominion's military. After the Rasalhague Dominion was formed, TMM expanded its MechWarrior program, which had been eclipsed by its aerospace program.
With its MechWarrior program operating at peak capacity, Tyra Miraborg Memorial Academy has been turning out a more-than-adequate number of pilots to help fill the ranks of the Rasalhague Dominion military—a must now that they have stepped in on behalf of The Republic. A majority of Rasalhagians are placed in the military's Rasalhague Galaxy, created specifically by members of the former Clan Ghost Bear to accommodate them.[2]
Atmosphere[edit]
While the usual interservice rivalries exists, TMM cadets show each other a high degree of respect, born of knowledge that all will depend upon their comrades' skills if the Clans were to strike en masse again. It is not unusual that hated rivals as cadets become great friends after graduation.[1]
One curious possible subversive note is the TMM's most notable instructor, General Tor Miraborg, ex-commander of the captured Radstadt Province and father of the famed Tyra. Miraborg's classes are always full, despite his opposition to many of Överbefälhavare Christian Månsdottir's policies.[1]
Training[edit]
All TMM cadets undergo three months in a training camp, where they learn military discipline and undergo military training. The TMM offers several MOS choices:[1]
Aerospace fighter[edit]
As if to honor its namesake, the TMM is best known for the high quality of its aerospace program.[1]
DropShip[edit]
TMM naval program is highly regarded, turning out top-notch DropShip crews.[1]
BattleMech[edit]
While seen as something of a lesser cousin to its aerospace and naval programs, the TMM is the Republic's sole BattleMech training program.[1]
Technician[edit]
The TMM runs programs for several technician fields.[1]
Officer School[edit]
Open to both existing KungsArmé troops and the academy's highest-scoring graduates, the TMM runs several small Officer Candidacy Schools after further instruction they graduate as Löjtnants.[1]
