Fort LeHaven is a popular place to visit because of the history that took place on this site. Originally the headquarters of the Order of the Guardians of St. Bartolomeo de Qinqe, Fort LeHaven is now the home of the Qinqean Home Guard Academy. Each year the Academy admits 30 young men and women. These new subalterns come from all over Qinqe and represent nearly every culture, race and religion in the republic. Matured in the Academy environment, this diversity of background helps subalterns grow culturally as well as academically. The Academy was originally founded in 1996 with a class of nine students. Enrollment at the Academy now numbers approximately 100 men and women.

The mission of the Academy is to educate, guide, and motivate each individual subaltern to become a leader prepared for a career of distinction and service to the republic as a professional military officer in the Qinqean Home Guard.

Subalterns lead the Academy Battalion through their Chain of Command. Subalterns First Class (fourth year) fulfill roles as Battalion Commander, Company and Platoon  Commanders. Other Subalterns First Class serve in various staff capacities at the Battalion, and Company levels.  Subalterns Second Class (third year)  serve as Squad Leaders supervising the lower two classes of subalterns. Subalterns Third Class (second year) serve as Team Leaders, each providing personal oversight of one or two Subalterns Fourth Class (first year).

At a pier alongside the Academy, is moored the RQS Governor Archer which serves as a seagoing classroom for approximately 37 subalterns and instructors from the Qinqean Home Guard Academy. It is on the decks and rigging of the RQS Governor Archer that the young men and women of the Academy get their first taste of salt air and life at sea. From this experience they develop a respect for the elements that will be with them throughout their lifetime. They are tested and challenged, often to the limits of their endurance. Working aloft they meet fear and learn to overcome it. The training subalterns receive under way has proven to be an invaluable asset during their subsequent Qinqean Home Guard careers.

On RQS Governor Archer, subalterns have a chance to practically apply the navigation, engineering and other training they receive in classes at the Academy. As upper-class subalterns, they perform the leadership functions normally handled by junior officers. As under-class subalterns, they fill positions normally taken by the enlisted crew of the ship, including helm watch and quartermaster. All subalterns, no matter what their Home Guard vocation might be, will sail at one time or another on the RQS Governor Archer.
