Elite Academy

The concept of Elite Academies was conceived as a way to further educate and groom talented cadets in their third year for command roles. The concept was strongly opposed by Admiral Stahl, who vehemently argued against Elite Schools and insisted that "hands-on" training aboard ships would be much more suited to prepare any cadet for specialized or command roles.

Despite the Eternal Warrior's opinion, Newport and three other Elite Academies were opened. Of the four, only Newport ever rose to fame and notoriety.

The concept of Elite Academies ended after the Newport Academy Scandal, with Newport itself being shut down temporarily and the other three Elite Academies being converted to regular Academies.
