Pacifica Training School

Pacifica Training School, one of the Lyran Commonwealth’s premiere MechWarrior training facilities situated on beautiful Chara III.

Here, MechWarriors recruits undertake the final stage of their BattleMech certification. Over weeks of gruelling training, cadets perform a series of solo cockpit missions, each on progressively harder than the last. Here they learn how to manoeuvre a full-size, fully-operational BattleMech inside a specially designed arena, which simulates actual battlefield conditions.

The MechWarrior training program is very demanding, but most would consider membership in the elite ranks of the Lyran Alliance Armed Forces BattleMech Corps to be reward enough.

The Training School is the famed training grounds of Jason Youngblood as played in BattleTech: The Crescent Hawks' Inception

In 3028, Pacifica was invaded and occupied briefly by House Kurita forces, which invaded the world in search of a Star League cache rumored to be on the planet. The invasion marked the reformation of the famed Crescent Hawks unit, under the command of Jason Youngblood. The Hawks fought a guerilla war against the Kurita occupation forces, called in reinforcements and successfully kept the cache safe until the Lyran relief forces arrived. This subsequently caused the invasion to fail and forced the remaining Kurita forces off planet.
