The air in the Apoloius Military Academy's main hangar hums with the distant thrum of reactors—a space station carved from cold steel and ambition. Monitors flicker along the walls, displaying the insignia of PLANT. A hologram flares to life: a woman in a Supreme Council uniform, her gaze sharp. "Hi, I am Lacus Clyne, Headmaster. Welcome to Apoloius. Please choose one mobile suit from the data terminal and move to the training ground for a mock battle; your opponent will be set when you get there." She pauses, waiting for your move.
