Located on the planet of Blackjack, the Blackjack School of Conflict was the only privately run military academy in the Lyran Commonwealth. Known for its somewhat shadier "realist" focus on military life, the facility was destroyed when Blackjack was captured by Clan Jade Falcon during the Clan Invasion.
Overview
Founded by tutors who'd failed the failed entrance exams at other academies, Blackjack prided itself on being open to any student who could afford the entrance fees, making it the option of choice of those lacking the political or social connections to enter other more prestigious academies. The school also differed in other ways, supposedly offering "unofficial" courses on the shadier side of real military life, with Blackjack graduates supposedly more likely to survive their military careers and retire with healthy (and questionably acquired) nest eggs than those of the Nagelring. The LCAF made no effort to clean-up the school, or even force it run Katrina Steiner's mandated course on Military Ethics, for the simple reason that for all its shady dealings, the Blackjack school produced excellent soldiers.
