Naval Academy Trappist

United American Federation Naval Academy Trappist (aka. the Dark Rock) is a United American Federation Navy shore establishment orbiting Trappist-1g primarily responsible for the training of second to fourth year officers. Naval Academy Trappist also provides officer candidate school, the direct commissioning course, and training for officers seeking to join the Federation Expedition and Survey Administration. Naval Academy Trappist is by far the most prestigious UAF military school and is responsible for educating some of the greatest figures in UAF history.

History
Officially established in 2109 by order of Secretary of the Navy William Thaddeus Mandrake, Naval Academy Trappist was the first UAF staff college. The Academy was founded on a merger of the principles of the US Naval War College and the Britannia Royal Naval College. In 2143, a small asteroid slipped through Trappist-1g's orbital defenses causing considerable damage to part of the habitat ring. The exact death toll is unknown but it is estimated to be between 15,000 to 18,000 students. When repairs were completed in 2147, the habitat ring was renamed after Cadet Tom Sanders who died while using a starfighter's shields to keep a heavily damaged section of the ring intact allowing nearly 1,000 people to be safely evacuated.

Politics
Naval Academy Trappist is well known for being one of the stoutest anti-German academic institutions in the UAF. As a result of the school's hard line policies, it has been a frequent target of Unionist terror attacks in the century since its founding. The Academy's auxiliary planetside campus was the target of an unsuccessful Unionist bio-weapon attack in 2216.
