Question

Description acceptable. Martine served as the leader of one of these institutions until the political fallout from a botched assassination attempt forced him into exile at Fishermans Horizon. These institutions were built atop mobile Centra shelters originally constructed to evacuate people during a Lunar Cry, a fact that allowed one of them to evade a cruise missile attack. A wealthy Shumi named NORG was the principal proprietor for one of these institutions headed by (*) Cid Kramer. That specific institution of this type inadvertently caused memory loss problems by teaching people to junction themselves to magical beasts called Guardian Forces. One of these institutions held a graduation ball for its SeeD mercenary cadets, which was attended by Rinoa Heartilly. For 10 points, name these institutions located in Trabia, Galbadia, and Balamb, which included students like Squall Leonhart. ■END■ (0[4])
