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 (15[1])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 (10[1])ball for its SeeD mercenary cadets, which was attended (-5[1])by Rinoa Heartilly. For 10 points, name these institutions located in Trabia, Galbadia, and Balamb, which included students like Squall Leonhart. ■END■ (10[1]0[4])
