The MMA was founded by George Robert James Manticore Halliwell VIII in 3215 CE, known as a philanthropist, play boy, big game hunter and a former UNSF Marine Corps Brigadier General oh and also having more money than God.

Historical & Background Information On The Society

Halliwell purchased a system with two inhabitable planets, one a sweltering jungle hell with slightly temperate zones near the poles and the other a barren, rocky, snowy planet that made Siberia look like a summer resort. After a bit of terra-forming he proceeded to stock the jungle planet [third planet from the sun] with endangered animal species that he had genetically modified to breed faster, this planet later named Halliwell World became his own private hunting preserve that he would allow others to use for an exorbitant fee [think 100s of millions of dollars] the snowy planet he named Manticore and built a huge dome to hold his estates, a space port and a small town.

However Halliwell became bored with just hunting and got into war gaming and hired himself out to various governmental and non-governmental organizations for his military expertise.

Shortly before his death Halliwell founded a military academy that was open to most star nations and charged rather large fees for the curriculum.

Even to this day the stone structures of his estate house thousands of military officer cadets from most star nations and of all races, and the academy has expanded to several smaller domes connected to the main dome. The Students and Instructors were Mono-Film Duty suits at all times, when the students and staff are doing a formal even the staff wears the dress uniforms of the star nations they are from while students wear insignia-less representations of their star nations dress uniforms.
