The Finmark Air and Space Academy was a Rim Worlds Republic naval officer training academy during the Star League era.[1]
Contents
History[edit]
The Finmark Air and Space Academy—or FASA—was founded during the twenty-seventh century to provide training to the naval officer corps of the Rim Worlds Republic. Whilst the preeminent military academy within the Republic was undoubtedly the Apollo Military Academy on Apollo, FASA was considered the most notable of the lesser academies within the Republic.[1]
Constructed in high orbit above the planet Finmark, the administrative capital of the Finmark Province of the Republic, FASA graduated hundreds of new officers a year. FASA underwent a substantial expansion shortly before the Star League Defense Force was ordered to withdraw the Twentieth Army from the Republic in 2755; that upgrade to the academy was sufficient to allow FASA to accommodate over a dozen WarShips at a time, and reports a decade later suggested that FASA was graduating almost three hundred recruits a year and expected to increase the graduation class size further still.[1]
Training[edit]
Military courses offered by FASA were known to include a comprehensive WarShip program.[1]
Notes[edit]
- The Finmark Air and Space Academy was presumably destroyed or disbanded during the invasion of the Rim Worlds Republic during the Amaris Civil War, the Lyran Commonwealth–Rim Worlds Republic War, or the Succession Wars.
- FASA is probably an homage to the Freedonian Aeronautics and Space Administration, the joking allusion to the Marx Brothers film "Duck Soup" that provided the acronym for the original owners of the BattleTech franchise: FASA.
