Founded in 2888, Sian University is one of the foremost military training facilities in the Capellan Confederation.[1] The university is located outside Sian's planetary capital with smaller installations spread around the planet. In the Officer Graduation Program (known as Hen gao Xiao-lu, or the High Path) every candidate must pass stringent background checks via the Maskirovka. In this program, the university produces some of its finest officers for the Capellan Confederation Armed Forces.[2]
