	The Trial of Endurance is perhaps the most notable for its low level of completion. The first stage of the Trial involves five trainees competing in a three-mile race wearing heavy armor. The winner of the race then has to be the first to knock fifty-six wooden targets (among over a hundred which must be undisturbed). If one of the competitors can hit a target before the winner, ~~they loose~~. However, the rest of the Trial must still be completed, which involves tests and feats of increasing rigor.

	Since the Trials also involve written and oral tests on history, geography, and mathematics, and extra two years is usually added to the training for trainees who come from 'lower tech' dimensions and thus have a lower expected standard of education. Those who were raised in more modern cultures and completed compulsory education in line with Alliance standards can either skip the training and take the tests, or even be granted special dispensation to skip the tests. The latter is quite rare, and usually reserved for older recruits who have previous training or had attained higher education.

	Trainees under special dispensation can generally complete the Trials in about two years. Those without it would need at least three, with an average of five.
