New Alexandria Federal Conservatory

The New Alexandria Federal Conservatory (NAFC) was an UEG sponsored Orphanage and child educational campus on the Planet Reach in the late 25th and mid 26th century. Founded originally as the privately run New Alexandria Episcopal Children's Home (Új Alexandria Gyermek Otthon) in 2457, the NAFC had long been utilized in housing orphans, runaways, destitute, abused, and endangered children from infancy until the university level. As of 2552 The NAFC had three priority housing programs: the Orphan Dormitories—colloquially known as the "Child City"—, Foster Care, and standard Adoption. When founded, the NAFC (then NAECH) initially limited itself in institutionalizing children of Eposz, but in light of the Insurrection and subsequent Human-Covenant war, the UNSC conscripted the NAFC to house, foster, and educate children evacuated from other Colony planets.

After it's controversial sponsorship by the UEG in 2487, federal minders infamously stated the Conservatory's "...emphasis [was to create] faithful citizens of the UEG". This created a local outcry, and prompted the UEG to adopt a variation of the prior Episcopal board of directors to appease the city council. These changes would come too late, however, and the Conservatory's reputation irreparably tainted by UEG and Colonial detractors on Reach and throughout the Epsilon Eridani system. During this tense era, the NAFC gained monikers such as "The Conscriptatorium", "Monkey House", and "Killer Farm". Though highly controversial during this era, multiple local and external critics cited the Conservatory as one of the few "successful" State run orphanages in the Inner Colonies. The NAFC would ultimately be destroyed during the Glassing of Reach in 2552.
