Obsidian Fleet Academy

From Obsidian Fleet Database

(Redirected from Academy)

The Obsidian Fleet Academy exists to acquaint players new to Obsidian Fleet and/or new to PBEM RPGs to our way of simming. This includes general writing and posting techniques (New Cadet Academy), sim administration (Command Academy), and additional supplementary courses (Special Core Academy).

The main focus of the Academy is always on the students that it serves. The Academy strives to provide students the knowledge and skills they need to successfully fulfill their roles in Obsidian Fleet while maintaining an open and friendly environment adhering to all Obsidian Fleet policies.

Established in 2161, this four-year institution serves as a training facility for Starfleet personnel, with the main campus located on Earth. Due to the size of the Federation and problems with distance, however, Starfleet has established campuses throughout Federation space.

The motto of Starfleet Academy is "Ex Astris, Scientia," meaning "From the stars, knowledge." Only a few years ago Starfleet Academy celebrated its 200th anniversary. Since its founding, the Academy has graduated millions of Starfleet officers from more than one hundred different species, all learning to work together for a common goal. Many Academy graduates have become key figures in Federation history, discovering new worlds and civilizations, winning wars in defence of the Federation, expanding the frontiers of our knowledge, and embodying Starfleet's values of honour, truth, and duty.

Starfleet Academy remains one of the Federation's most important institutions. The Academy teaches future generations of Starfleet officers the skills that empower them to follow in their predecessors' footsteps, upholding the ideals of Starfleet and the United Federation of Planets. The Superintendent and the faculty carry the responsibility of ensuring the cadets under their supervision become the finest officers they can.
