Aitutaki Academy

General Overview

Found by order of Hered Selaj in 2414. It remains a ani-Marik bastion through all the efforts by the LCCC. They are many covert SAFE operatives who are watching the independent minded academy.

Enrollment

In the past only students with regulan background were accept. This policie changed with the reign of Thomas Marik. The LCCC dictat that a fair number of apllicants must choosed by other measures.

Basic Training

The academy demands a strict physical regime on its students and is part of daily life. In the first year the sutidents learn to navigate, to hunt and to survive.

Anvandced Induvidual Training

The speciality of the studies ly on Mechwarrior and armor crews. The other aspects of ground warfare are also covered. The aerospace programm were disbanded as a result of a series of fatal training accidents. The MOS for Technicans is best known in the League and the LCCC attempted to relocate the controll of it, but with little success.

Atmosphere

Aitutaki used some special "procedures" (hazing and others) to persuade "undesirable" students to leave on their own. The LCCC have ordered the hole academy staff to stopp such action or face punishment, but the commandant denied all responsibility for such cases. The senior cadets act as prefects and lead the junior students with an iron hand. A junior cadet is allowed to challenge a senior cadet for the right to command by a trial with swords (Jucio por Combate = trial by combat). The expierence of the upperclassman lead in most cases to victory.

Graduation

The LCCC assign most of the 60 MechWarriors per year (the other specialties generated ten times of graduates) to units far away from the Regulan Hussars, but this changed little of the pro-regulus/anti-marik view.
