The Faction will issue it to their immediate family members at the earliest opportunity. Furthermore, the descendants of their immediate family will be eligible for the Faction's exclusive training placements. The Faction will cover all university expenses. If they choose the Mecha Warrior path, they may receive full-course training from the Faction's advanced
