Campus[edit]
The Academy itself was connected to acivilian settlement known asAsimov Center via a series oftunnels and surface tubes. These tubes would often need to be guarded against civilian incursions onto academy grounds, and vice versa.[3]
History[edit]
In2492, a scandal at the academy occurred involving the overnight disappearances ofInna Volkov, the daughter ofAdmiral Konrad Volkov, from officers' family quarters on base and sightings of her in the company of a young man, which eventually culminated to theimpregnation of Inna. In response, six OCS cadetswere brought before the school'sBoard of Inquiry to testify, includingPreston Cole. Though Cole was not found guilty of any wrongdoing, he married Inna two months later to end the incident.[4]
In2508,Harper Garvin would give a lecture at the academy on quelling planetaryInsurrectionists.[5]
Around2523,Nelly Hamm graduated from Luna OCS, coming first in her class.[6]
In2541,Miranda Keyes became the second-youngest student, at age sixteen, to be accepted into the academy's pre-enlistment training.[1]
In2553, during an operation onNeos Atlantis,Olivia-G291 assumed the identity of "Lieutenant Bati", a Luna OCS graduate.[7]
In late spring2555,Keely Iyuska was a guest lecturer at the academy.[8]
