History
Located on Rockwellawan's Corundum continent just outside the industrial city of Kite, construction of the Sentinelry Academy was officially begun 3081. The driving force behind much of the funds for the Academy and its location was Interstellar Agriculture Concerns whose main plant on-world was in Kite, IAC seeking both to increase their profile and enhance local defense.[2] By 3085 the Academy was intended to train officers for the Sentinels, but the slow pace of construction led the military to engage in a military exchange programme with the Filtvelt Coalition. This slowed the construction of the Sentinelry Academy further still, although the Sentinels continued to train their own recruits internally at the same time.[1]
3088 would prove to be both the highest and lowest points in the Sentienlry Academy's history, the final completion of the Academy was made bittersweet for the Fronc Reaches when the pirate Calderon's Commando struck Rockwellawan in force on 9 July 3088 with the goal of shattering military infrastructure on-world making future raiding easier. First hitting the IAC plant to make off with loot and mislead the First Fronc Cuirassiers into deploying the bulk of their forces there, the majority of the Commando then attacked the Cuirassiers' base and the recently completed Academy. While the cadets and their instructors desperately attempted to repeal their attack until the Cuirassiers could return, ultimately the Calderon's Commando totally levelled the Academy as well as making off with crippled and damaged BattleMechs and tanks to bolster their forces and allow their increasingly signature false flag attacks. The Academy would be rebuilt but not for many years.[3] [4]
Training
Training begins in the onset of Rockwellawan's brief arctic summer, instruction in the harsh conditions used as a means to harden the cadets.[2]
As of 3088 the Academy boasted a small Sentinelry Academy Cadre consisting of a lance of BattleMechs, one platoon of Vedette tanks, two platoons of laser infantry and one squad of Inner Sphere Standard Battle Armor.[4]
