Editing Academy at Mare Nubium

{{Era|UNSC|HCW|Post}}
The '''Academy at Mare Nubium''', more commonly known as '''Luna OCS Academy''', is an [[Officer Candidate School]] of the [[United Nations Space Command]] in [[Newton County]], [[Mare Nubium]] on [[Luna]]. The academy is the [[Sol system]]'s oldest UNSC officer candidate school.<ref name="news">''[[Halo: Reach Limited Edition]]'', [[Intersystem News]], [[:File:Intersystem News Miranda.jpg|LCDR Miranda Keyes Awarded Silver Star]]</ref>  The [[Board of Inquiry]] was an investigation panel at the school, consisting of officers of the [[UNSC Judge Advocate General's Corps]]. The [[Rutherford Science Magistrate]] is a school of science at the OCS.<ref name="cole430">''Halo: Evolutions'', "The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole", p. 430</ref>

==Campus==
The Academy itself was connected to a [[civilian]] settlement known as [[Asimov Center]] via a series of [[Shadow Perimeter 3|tunnels and surface tubes]]. These tubes would often need to be guarded against civilian incursions onto academy grounds, and vice versa.<ref>''[[Halo: Evolutions]]'', "[[The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole]]", p. 431</ref>

==History==
In [[2492]], a scandal at the academy occurred involving the overnight disappearances of [[Inna Volkov]], the daughter of [[Konrad Volkov|Admiral Konrad Volkov]], from officers' family quarters on base and sightings of her in the company of a young man, which eventually culminated to the [[Ivan Cole|impregnation]] of Inna. In response, six OCS cadets [[JAG Incident Report (local) 475-A|were brought before]] the school's [[Board of Inquiry]] to testify, including [[Preston Cole]]. Though Cole was not found guilty of any wrongdoing, he married Inna two months later to end the incident.<ref>''Halo: Evolutions'', "The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole", p. 430-435</ref>

In [[2508]], [[Harper Garvin]] would give a lecture at the academy on quelling planetary [[Insurrectionist]]s.<ref>''Halo: Silent Storm'', Chapter 13</ref>

Around [[2523]], [[Nelly Hamm]] graduated from Luna OCS, coming first in her class.<ref name="SS11">''Halo: Silent Storm'', Chapter 11</ref>

In [[2541]], [[Miranda Keyes]] became the second-youngest student, at age sixteen, to be accepted into the academy's pre-enlistment training.{{Ref/Reuse|news}}

In [[2553]], during an operation on [[Neos Atlantis]], [[Olivia-G291]] assumed the identity of "Lieutenant Bati", a Luna OCS graduate.<ref>''[[Halo: Fractures]]'', "[[A Necessary Truth]]"</ref>
