  • The Imperial Military Academy is the most prestigious academic institution of Barrayar, established in the Military Educational Complex in the external boroughs of Vorbarr Sultana. Many training centres train Imperial Service officers; the most prestigious is the Imperial Military Academy in Ernykadratograd, just outside Vorbarr Sultana, which qualifies them for command tasks. Its task is to select and train future officers of the Imperial Service through a three year course of study. The Imperial Military Academy also has the privilege of guarding the Imperial War Banner. The Imperial Academy is singular because the structure of things is that the core teaching is similar. Everyone in Barrayaran military service is expected to be able to handle zero-g, pilot a shuttle with some skill, and manage ground troops should the need arise. At the Academy, Officer Cadets get the basic command and discipline matters out of the way, then apprentice Ensigns to specialists and teach them hands on. The entrance examinations take a solid week: five days of written and oral exams, and two days of physical tests. Differently to others Service Officer Training Institutes, while the youngest age at which a cadet can enter the Academy is 17, there is technically no upper limit – any man with sufficient ability can be accepted. The Academy's term begins in the fall, and graduation is at midsummer at the Imperial Military Review: the commissioning of the new Ensigns is a touching moment. In the chain of command, graduates of the Imperial Military Academy are considered higher in seniority compared to professional officers of the same rank who graduate from specialized Military Schools or from Officer Cadet School. The Academy is among the oldest surviving Imperial institutions, since it was established by Emperor Dorca in 2850: prior to the end of the Time of Isolation, officers were trained on an individual apprenticeship system, often under relative's command; locally and ad lib and still the system lasted until the 2870s.
