History

Founded in 2989 on the planet Maxwell, the Hero Training Institute offers those with no legitimate reason to become a MechWarrior the chance to become such a hero. While the quality of the training is poor, HTI offers a real opportunity to those who would otherwise not have one.

Dark Ages

The Hero Training Institute (HTI) has made great improvements in both curriculum and equipment, coming a long way from advertising on matchbook covers for potential students. Still privately owned and run, the Institute has come under new management in an effort to cultivate a better reputation among training academies. Graduates of HTI who have made their way to the current conflicts have not been forthcoming about their educational background, raising both eyebrows and suspicion among their peers.[1]

Despite its seedy past, the Hero Training Institute (HTI) continues to draw students looking for a life of combat. After they are graduated, many students seek combat experience wherever they can find it. Though most HTI graduates go on to seek gainful employment in the ranks of mercenary units, some take their education back to their home space to enroll in other, more reputable schools for proper military and officer training.[2]
