History[edit]
Founded on 3061 the academy was closely linked with the Shengli Arms factory. This manifested in a focus primarily on technical studies in contrast to lower ranked MOS. The students who would become technicians had access to the facilities of the factory.[1]
By 3079 the Victoria Academy of Arms and Technology was unique in that it had more technicians enrolled that it did students in the various combat disciplines.[2] Nevertheless the BattleMech, aerospace fighter, and Armor crews trained here would be valued members by the CCAF.
The Academy was unharmed by the Jihad and Republic of the Sphere intelligence expected the Academy would have to do the same as the Capella War College and to quadruple its' class size to accommodate for the needs of the Capellan Confederation, impacting the quality of the graduates.[3]
Atmosphere[edit]
The academy demands a great knowledge about technical matters even from its military cadets. The normal students is a test subject how have the task to break the newly developed equipment for further improvement (this test led to a number of deaths). Some students receive for their excellent studies and test a new vehicle, fresh from the drawing board.[1]
