Academies/Galaxy 1

Academies of Galaxy 1

In Galaxy 1 the former Reortian Empire Academies maintained their reciprocal relationships and use of their respective facilities by each other's alma mater. As would be expected for two (formerly) rich agricultural worlds with similar political systems, sentient species, technology levels, and separated by only 4 light years, the Lave and Reortian Academies enjoyed an ancient academic rivalry.

After the disintegration of the Reortian Empire during the idiotic rule of Supreme Emperor Geou Dibea', Reorte fell into economic decline and a large influx of human colonials displaced the indigenous black felines in this part of the galaxy, notably on Lave. To compound matters further the newly formed Galactic Cooperative selected Lave over Reorte as the premier site for its flight training school.

• The Reorte Academy still attracts 'old credit' family's offspring and the legendary initiation ceremonies for new students still continue. The Academy is embedded in a long-lost world of spectacular imperial architecture, that is popular with tourists. But Reorte continues to sink with some rather unstable neighboring worlds no longer supported by Reorte's former wealth.

• During the last few decades the Lave Academy has become a strong meritrocracy, accepting only students whom they regard as having the potential to reach Elite combat status during the subsequent career - irrespective of background. Lave is in fact the oldest Academy in Galaxy 1 and third-oldest in the 8 galaxies. Its sister, or more precisely daughter, academy at Anlere is widely recognized as focusing more on advancing virtual combat simulation.
