Starfleet Academy

In the fictional universe of Star Trek, Starfleet Academy is the department of the space force Starfleet that educates and trains the organization's officer corps. The academy's fictional motto is " Ex astris, scientia " – "From the stars, knowledge," which is derived from the Apollo 13 motto "Ex luna, scientia" – "From the moon, knowledge." In turn, the Apollo 13 motto was inspired by "Ex scientia, tridens," the motto of the United States Naval Academy, meaning "From knowledge, seapower." History and location The main campus of the academy is located on or near Starfleet headquarters on Earth, in and around what is now Fort Baker, California, across the Golden Gate from San Francisco in what is now Marin County. There are also other campuses; for example, Tom Paris studied at a campus in Marseille, France. In 1997, a computer game with a story surrounding the academy, called Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, was released by Interplay and High Voltage Software.
