The Space Cadets were founded to be the "boy scouts of space" but with a focus on career development for the youth of the galaxy.

Boys can join as young as nine years old, but will being planet-bound for training before they are assigned to a space-faring vessal.

Originally, the galactic senate passed regulations that forbade Space Cadets from exploring a newly-found planet prior to a proper and thorough recon by professionals.

However, Senator Ammerton insisted the government should not stick its nose into the business of private organization and the regulations were, eventually, lifted, allowing the Space Cadets to determine their own course.

Ranks

Each cadet holds a rank and can be promoted through training and deeds.

WHITE - Newly-joined cadets are Rank White while they are doing their initial training and studies. These cadets are planet-bound.

BLUE - Rank Blue cadets have passed their initial written tests and are assigned to one of the cadet-training facilities where they undergo physical training to prepare for the rigors of space travel.

RED - Rank Red cadets are assigned to a spaceship and report to a Gold Rank cadet. On average, there are 10 Reds for 1 Gold.

GOLD - Rank Gold cadets are those who have truly proven themselves. They can lead Rank Red cadets on missions.
