This roleplay is based on Legend of Galactic Heroes, in the distant future of humanity. The Imperial Officer Academy on the capital planet of Odin is where the Galactic Empire's officer corps is educated. Its cadets are all-white, all-male and 16 or older. German-derived names are the norm. This is where they'll study, train and make connections for their career in the Imperial Fleet, to serve the Goldenbaum Dynasty in their centuries-long struggle against the Rebel Forces (or the 'Free Planets Alliance' as they like to call themselves) and enforce the emperor's rule. The Galactic Empire is harshly conservative and hierarchical, most of its population living as little more than serfs under the extravagant and decadent nobility. Its colors are black and silver. Its aesthetics mimic 18th century France and Prussia, although powdered wigs, male make up and face whitening did not make a return.

Cadets engage in a number of courses, including but not limited to: Space navigation, electrical and mechanical engineering, tactics and strategy, military history, leadership, military law, astronomy, training in use of combat armor, laser weapons and valkyrie fighter piloting.

Cadets are primarily from the empire's privileged class of nobility. Though rarer commoners are also present, but need to work ten times harder to prove their worth or earn a place at the academy to begin with. Some commoners come to the academy through battlefield commendation and are as such older when they arrive. Nobles tend to resent commoners who try to rise above their allotted station by becoming officers, and commoners in turn tend to resent the privileges of the nobility. This can lead to friction when someone's social status doesn't match their military rank, as when a captain from a commoner background may command a noble lieutenant. That commoners can even get into the academy is only an emergency measure in response to losses in the war against the Rebel Forces, even so commoners are unlikely to make it to high rank.

Nepotism is commonplace and the status of a cadet's family can give them a lot of leeway when it comes to their studies, promotion, following the rules of the academy or even the law. Even among the nobility there is distinction, as some lower nobility hold that important privilege without having much power or influence beyond that, while some in the higher nobility stand out, their families holding high governmental or military positions or even owning entire planets as personal fiefdoms.

Most nobles hold a romantic view of war, valuing honor, glory and orthodoxy highly, even at the expense of sensible tactics. To die in battle or to take one's own life is regarded as preferable to retreating in disgrace or being taken prisoner.

Homosexuality is among the long list of things that officially label you 'defective' under the empire's infamous eugenics laws and would be grounds for expulsion and criminal prosecution.

Humanity, as an intelligent species, is alone in the galaxy.
