United Nations Naval Academy

The United Nations Naval Academy (UNNA) is a primary military college in San Francisco, California on Earth, that educates and commissions future officers of the UNSC Navy and Marine Corps.

It was established on November 9th, 2245 by Admiral Jonathan Archer who saw the need for a centralized naval officer training facility in lieu of numerous national and regional facilities that existed prior and long after the formation of the United Earth Government. The UN Naval Academy normal trains it's Midshipman in four years, including five summer sessions with units across the galaxy. Early on in Galactic Alliance history, the Naval Academy began admission of alien cadets into their ranks. These officers would later bring Human military knowledge back to their militaries, and form the base of the unified Alliance Navy in the late 26th century; some of which actually served in the United Nations Space Command.

This school was renowned across the galaxy for it's outstanding teaching and the citizens it produced, earning the reputation of Humanities best school for future Chancellors. It was known by many names, including "The Space School", "The Academy", or simply as "Navy", referring to it's sports teams.

The Academy's motto is Ex Hic, Clementia Praecedo, which is Latin for "From here, humanity excels".
