Officer Training is a Yamatai roleplaying plot based at Fort Hikari (all IC training/location info in the link) to be run by GM ethereal that surrounds the training and off-duty life of a new batch of Officer Candidates. Here they learn how to be leaders and hold the respect of their troops, battle tactics and logistics. The experiences and knowledge they possess from the past will surely come in useful to complete the tasks put to them and also to help their platoon to pass the class.

Only the best few will receive the final honors, the greatest of which is the Sword of Excellence - a badge of honor and fast-track for any potential command officer. This plot also acts as a dry run / training area for potential GMs or Co-GMs who may want to figure out how to play their officer roles effectively and convincingly, parts of the training requiring a player to write for several NPCs under their command.

Status: Officer Training is accepting new players at this time.

Officer Training is a training plot based at the Fort Hikari, revolving around the current class of Officer Candidates from all walks of life. Some may be ex-NCO, Nekos straight out of Basic or other races just coming of age to join.

The IC aim of this plot is to equip the candidates with everything they need to command, to lead and to become strategists.

The OOC purpose is to allow players to gain actual military knowledge, to better RP their characters in other plots - especially those in leadership roles. Any potential GMs can use this plot to develop a Captain for their vessel until such a time they kick off their plot rather than fabricating their background!

This plot is aimed at players with characters in officer or NCO roles in other plots given the daily posting speed and aim but all are welcome if they can keep up with the speed.

• Age Requirement: 16
• Format: Play-by-Post/ Joint Posts

The Officer Training (MOS) is the newest Star Army Training Administration dedicated training facility. The mission of the MOS is to provide basic officer training for the Star Army of Yamatai. It was established as part of improvements by Shinja Noriko-Chusa.

Recruits who have completed college education may apply for attendance at the Academy. Enlisted military personnel who complete a college education can apply for attendance.

During their training all attendees are referred to as Kenshūsei or Trainee regardless of what rank they may have had prior. All trainees are automatically placed on the Yamatai Prestige System for the duration of their training.

Note: Those without an Star Army Enlistment Contract cannot join the Star Army or be trained.

The School has a maximum student capacity of 576 trainees. Sessions start every two months, so there are always two different sets of trainees present.

Trainees receive a subset of the Star Army Standard Issue Items. The following is the Trainee issue:

• Star Army Duffel Bag, containing:
  • Toiletry Kit
  • Environmental Suit
  • 2 Working Uniforms. Includes boots and gloves.
  • 2 Duty Uniform
  • 1 Coat and Cap
  • 2 Exercise Uniform (can also used as sleepwear)
  • Undergarments
• Star Army Utility Belt, Type 32, light-blue gray

The program is 120 days and provides the following training:

• Basic Training
  • Phase 1
  • Phase 2
  • Psychological evaluation, part of this involves observing the trainee in various situations via the Virtual Collective Experience.
• Leadership Training
  • Strategy
  • Tactics
  • Leadership
  • Disciplinary Practices
  • Communications
    • Motivation
    • Critiques
    • Protocols
    • Interview
• Practical
  • Simulations (Ship board)
  • Simulations (Planetary)

Graduates of the School typically receive the rank of Shoi Kohosei, Officers with this rank are still in the process of learning what it means to be a leader, mediator, and officer.

Any soldier who fails to graduate has two options. They can be released from their contract and return to civilian life, or enter the service as an Enlisted member with the rank of Yontô Hei.

The actual campus consists of several structures, viewable in the School's wiki article at the top of this page.
