Lore University Project - Submit Here!!!!!!!!

[Guest Marlon Phoenix]

I've spontaneously developed a new project for the lore team and any cooperative developers after further work on the Unathi pages had me remember a lowkey goal of mine to add more slice of life, which began with the Notable X pages.

We are going to list a minimum of 1 'Relevant University' pages for each job we have available on the wiki. For example, the engineer and atmos technician job guides would both have a link to the 'University of Crowbar'. This will give our characters the ability to go 'o wow we're from the same college!!!' as well as giving a greater sense of the slice of life going on that lead to us ending up on the station.

The standard model for the universities will have them all look like this, more or less. It's a philosophy of mine that we should have the information there, however sparse, and use the consequential feedback on the information or lack-thereof to go more in-depth.

My goal for the wiki is at least 1 university for each available job. This project is something I want done by the 1st of October. I currently have 2 goals: have a link to universities on each job guide, and to help consolidate information, have a single page listing each university based on its theme. IE, engineering, medical, science, custodial.... And while the universities will be mostly human (Sol is the standard in which the galaxy emulates) we'll have token xeno universities.

I also want to avoid glossing over any universities we already have or are known by a few people. This is the place to show the lore team the universities we have in lore canonization or hidden anywhere else. Once we get anything people are dying to have listed we'll making stuff up and play it by ear.

Please provide links to any university or college or academic institution if they have a lore canonization thread. Then fill this out:

As a reminder, you don't have to have a character from any of these universities. A simple "University of [city]" is good enough for character backgrounds, though it may not have the same 'o hey i know that name' as coming from one of these.

Name: Mars University

Link to Lore Canonization: (if blank then this is a lore canonization for your university inherently)

Focused Field: Mechatronic Engineering

Overview: Founded in 2171 out of the one of the first research outposts which first dotted the planetary surface, in the city of Olympia, it was destroyed in the Martian world war in 2281, but rebuilt in 2289. During the widespread cyborgification and robotics boom on Mars, it became an accredited university for robotics and cyborg research churning out the top minds in its field for a time, but after cyborgification became taboo in 2260, and with the destruction of the university two decades later, the reconstructed Mars. U shifted focus to the related field of Mechatronics, opting to build robotic constructs with human pilots which would sit better with public sensibilities. It also retained a sizeable bionics program as a specialization for prosthetics. Its sports teams are known as "The Olympia Martians." And their mascot is "The little green man." Or "Greenman" for short

Main employer of graduates: Hephaestus Industries recruits from and contracts the university regularly.

Current Dean: A brief (2 - 4 sentences) description with the name. If this is blank we'll just make it up no probs.

Famous Graduates: Jayce Gounaris and Gregori Dorokhin, project leaders who designed the Odysseus.

Name: The Nal'tor College of Career Excellence.

Link to Lore Canonization:

Focused Field: Service and Supply vocations.

Overview: Located in Nal'tor and founded 2432, seven months after the creation of the People's Republic of Adhomai by the Republic of Biesel and NanoTrasen. They say that they're there out of charity and kindness, helping the Tajarans find work in a competitive, universal economy, but the only courses offered there are the stuff that would be needed for civilian entry level positions for NanoTrasen space stations. Most of the aptitude tests are almost exactly the same as NanoTrasen's aptitude test for getting the same positions without relevant degrees.

Main employer of graduates: NanoTrasen

Current Dean: Jamison Knight, they've been Headmaster of the school since it's conception, supposedly a temporary until a proper Tajaran Headmaster could be found, but theres always something holding that back another school year. Under his leadership, the employment rate of graduates has flourished, with over 90 percent of Tajarans finding gainful employment. He was once employed within NanoTrasen as a resource managed about the mega-freighter NCV Anchieta, but when NanoTrasen lended their manpower to the school for the betterment of Tajarans, he was stolen along with them and thrust into the dean's chair and tweed pants, tweed jacket, tweed shirt and tweed underwear.

Famous Graduates: Jahar Hirron, the first Tajaran Head of Personnel employed by NanoTrasen.

Name: Solis Cognito University

Link to Lore Canonization:

Focused Field: Research

Overview: One of the greatest universities ever constructed, and possibly one of the most ambitious station building projects in human history, Solis Cognito is a space station in orbit around Sol-1's star. A project started and funded by the Sol Alliance for years, it is a prestigious university that only the brightest minds can even dream to get in.

Main employer of graduates: The Sol Alliance.

Current Dean: Dean Bogdon Wernstrom, the latest in a long line of Deans of the university, who change seats like it was going out of fashion when a conference of professors decide the current one isn't good enough anymore and make them step down and get a new one. This one is around 130, and doesn't show any signs of slowing yet, aside from the fact his heart has been replaced twice. His current goal with the school is to achieve excellence, and return humanity to the forefront of research in the eyes of the global theater. The only way they have any chance, however, is to research something the Skrell can not, or will not best them in. AI and robotics research.

Name: Adhomai orbital combat and engineering (A.O.C.E)

Link to Lore Canonization: N/A

Focused Field: combat and engineering

Overview: Adhomai orbital combat and engineering is a university located in low orbit around Adhomai. It only accepts top of the line students from the PRA. The university trains tajarans in two major fields and offers many military and N.T scholarships to the 5,000 population on the station. It offers classes in EVA training, engine study, atmospherics, combat engineering, weapons combat, hand combat, regular engineering, few programming classes, and AI programming.

It was built in 2449 with funding from N.T with a goal to further uplift the tajarans but the PRA mainly uses it to train warriors to help in the wars. During the craze of the threat of radicals, N.T equipped the station with the latest shield technology and a alert system that gives the students enough time to enter the station.

The requirements need close to straight A's to enter the college and need to go through a heavy test to be considered.

Main employer of graduates: N.T and the PRA military

Name: Ceres University (Locally known as Origin U)

Link to Lore Canonization:

Focused Field: Engineering - Primarily construction, maintenance and mining, and Medical - EMT's and Mobile field hospitals/surgical units

Overview: Located within the planatoid complex of Ceres, Ceres University. Known as Origin U due to it being within the first and primary complex of the BMC, is the origin point of all other complexes that came after. Making it in the closest thing to a capital of the belt.

It was founded with the intent to support the local population that worked for the company in mining, refining, and prefabrication. And educate the children of their workers to maintain a standing workforce in the main sectors and support roles at all age groups and ensuring a self sustaining colony without having to outsource it to another planet or moon.

I focuses mainly on Mining and Metallurgical Engineering. Along with construction. In order to facilitate operations and the construction of new outposts and habitats. It also has a notable medical school, focusing on mobility and emergency response. Due to the scattered nature of the belt and working hazards of mining. Well trained medical personnel skilled in mobility and EVA that can take the essentials and set up a mobile unit almost anywhere, small teams acting like a civilian Mobile Army (occasionally surgical) Hospital unit, are vital to get help to those who need it. So they can get patched up and get back to work.

Most graduates end up working for the Beltway Mining Company directly or in services to maintain the complexes they are from. Many courses also have on site work experience towards the end of the education to ensure they walk into a job on the belt and stay there to maintain the workforce. Graduates from the medical, and Construction and maintenance courses are, for their extensive EVA knowledge and high mobility, prized assets for Spacefaring aspects of the Sol Alliance Military, NanoTrasen's ships and space stations, and Emergency response teams for disaster relief.

Main employer of graduates: NanoTrasen, Sol Alliance military and Beltway Mining Company

Current Dean:

Famous Graduates:Harold Lake. Lead engineer in the construction of NSS Baldr's framework, and later chief shipwright constructing many ships in Sol for the NanoTrasen Corperation. Catherine Hill. Cheif Medical Officer of a field unit of mainly Ceres graduates for the IAC operating extensively in the Romanovich Cloud, her and her team are credited with saving several smaller mining colonies from collapse in crisis.

So far three universities have been done; I'll be adding a little notice at the top of posts for the ones I've already done/posts that I've noticed and need attention but I haven't added/a general "I've got you fam" notice for the poster. It's more for myself so I can keep track of which ones I've already done at-a-glance - I hope you don't mind! If it offends you you can delete the line though be warned for I am easily confused

For the sake of flow, consistency, grammar, general wording, or a e s t h e t i c, I've made minor additions or changes here or there while trying to stay as close as possible to the original application - names and locations stay the same but little details here or there may be smudged or added in. (For example, Ceres' population)

If you are unhappy with anything that was changed or the final product let me know, I'm happy to edit based on feedback from the creator.

I'll make posts with a list of the campus' I've done so far after I do a couple so we can all stay up to date on any changes or additions and you can see them and compare them to the applications here.

Ceres University was done. I added a specific number of inhabitants to Ceres, added a little bit to make it appear rugged and frontiers-y.

Nal'Tor College was done with a minor change to the Headmaster's old job simply to make it less of a mouthful and allow better sentence flow.

The Education page itself has been created, so the full list of campus' will be available for easy viewing and browsing.

Name: Rexlen University

Link to Lore Canonization: Not sure exactly what you want here - this is the university my character Dr. Simon Bard personally attended, and occasionally I have RP'ed as such.

Focused Field: Rexlen is fairly well known for its exemplary undergraduate science programs, and feeds into some of Sol's most esteemed graduate programs in fields related to biology, chemistry, and physics. It also contains quite a number of these aforementioned graduate programs which allow students to specialize further in an a multitude of areas, including some relevant to the NSS Exodus' research such as Bluespace Theory, Phoron Engineering, and Zenobiological Studies. ((It could in essence be a plausible choice for anyone in the main body of the science department.))

Overview: Rexlen is one of Mars' older universities, as it was founded by famed philanthropist Adrian Rexlen in the years proceeding the Martian World War of 2279. Its history is as storied as its age would suggest. In the MWW, for example, an entire department was temporarily converted into a makeshift hospital to tend to those who had suffered lethal doses of radiation and would otherwise be untreatable. The decontamination shower rooms and lead-lined lockers for personal effects persist to this day, though this fact is only really known by most students because the administration keeps it alive for marketing purposes. The university doubtlessly has darker secrets hidden away within its immense spires and classroom complexes.

Today, it inhabits a number of the higher layers of the New Washington Fēngcháo, and houses a little over 100,000 students. It attracts applications from aspiring scientists from all over the Sol Alliance, although mostly from New Washington and the surrounding city-states. One important aspect of Rexlen's culture is the student body's intense rivalry with that of the nearby Nimitz Military Academy. Though some students of Rexlen have grown to grudgingly respect their tactically-minded counterparts, most Nimitz residents and alumni characterize Rexlen graduates as self-important eggheads in serious need of more common-sense.

Main employer of graduates: Though Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals recruiters are often given preference in the university's chemistry department, all Rexlen students can and do pursue work with any and all megacorporations.

Current Dean:

If this is blank we'll just make it up no probs.

Go for it!

Famous Graduates: If he isn't too important, I would like CEO Vanas Peng of Zeng-Hu, who reinvigorated Zeng-Hu by successfully cooperating with Skrellian researchers.

((Also, if graduates of a given university want to have something to talk about and attract others to make alumni characters, then I don't think it is unreasonable to get them to put in the effort, rather than offloading that onto the wiki editors.))

Name: Interstellar Aides Corp Public Training Facility

Link to Lore Canonization:

Focused Field: Medical Services

Overview: An orbiting facility around a small planet with basic housing facilities for student and staff who don't want to live on a space station 24/7. They're located in Sol Alliance space, and central to S'Rand'marr and Uueoa-Esa. Free food and housing are offered to all students, coming from all over the galaxy from most walks of life. A majority of students are low class people in it for the food and housing, but most will at least try turn their lives around with the training they've been given when they're finished. They offer courses in general medicine, intravenous medication, dentistry, and drug treatment.

Main employer of graduates: The IAC

Current Dean: Doctor Francine Fortsworth has bean the Dean of the facility since January the First of this year. She was a graduate of all of the courses offered at the school, and when they were all done, instead of leaving the school she spent 2o years studying at, she became a volunteer teacher, and started working her way up until she was the head of education.

Famous Graduates: Anyone who has even been the Head of Education for the school trained there,

Name: Apex & Ft Sunder Joint Military Academies

Link to Lore Canonization: http://forums.aurorastation.org/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=490

Focused Field: Intermediate and higher level military education. Civil defence to a degree, since the Army is focused on internal matters as well. Anything from officer schooling to things like cyber security.

Overview:

During the inception of the Eridani Federal Military, it was quickly deemed that the relatively small force it was planning to sustain did not require multiple schools serving the same purpose for two branches of the military. As such, an agreement was brokered between the Federal Navy and the Federal Army, with the intent of handling all common intermediate to advanced schools as a joint initiative. This way, specialists from one branch became responsible for training candidates from both branches.

Over the next hundred years, the division of fields quickly became clear. Since the Federal Navy was being actively tasked with offensive operations both in space and on the surface of foreign planetary bodies, their focus became the training of infantry warfare specialists. Almost all specialized and advanced infantry schools are organized by the Federal Navy in their own facilities, with the majority of such schools residing aboard the military station of SEN Apex. These schools include the ones responsible for training all grades of Non-Commissioned Officers, and specific courses for special forces operatives.

This left the more academic fields under the governance of the Federal Army. All junior officers go through the Officer Candidate's Course hosted by the Federal Army in Fort Sunder, and they also have a master's programme for advanced military leadership. The programme in question issues all graduates a master's in social sciences. They also handle the training of cyber-warfare and -defence specialists, who follow the standard route of academic achievement. (Though, they may subcontract these studies to external universities.) Also of note is the training they offer in the field of civil defence, due to the Federal Army's major role in assisting the local police forces. For example, all Federal Navy candidates for the Master at Arms specialization go through one such programme hosted in Fort Sunder and Fort Atrix, by the Federal Army.

While the Joint Military Academies initiative serves as a great method of cost minimization and permits a very high degree of specialization and concentration of experience, it has received a lot of critique. The primary issue raised is the fact that it increases the dependence of the entire Federal Military on two key facilities, which are already loaded with command, control, and communication tasks for their specific branches. The concern is that should one of those two facilities be struck half of the training pipelines in the entire Federal Military would grind to a halt. While the Federal Army has been looking to spread its training out to subcontracted state and private universities, as well as to other bases, such as Fort Atrix, the Federal Navy has remained confident in its ability to recover and reorganize as necessary. Though, there have been rumours that the pressure applied by Federal Army has resulted in the commissioning of another major space station, which should take over the task of serving as a hub for the majority of the training programmes hosted out of SEN Apex.

Main employer of graduates: The Eridani Federal Military itself. Any contractor who is able to snatch itself people from the Eridani Federal Military, such as NT.

Current Dean: General Donn Magadan of the Eridani Federal Navy.

Name: Hongsun Park Engineering Institute

Link to Lore Canonization:

Focused Field: Applied High-Energy Engineering

Overview: HPEI was founded in 2419 in Phoenixport on Biesel, to educate engineering students on the emergent applications of the phoron present in Tau Ceti. Two years after its discovery, phoron's promising potential for use as an energy source prompted founder Park Seong-ja to establish the institution, with the expectation that the excitement surrounding the resource would make securing investment and donations for the school a simple matter. This hope was quickly fulfilled, as private and government interests combined to fund what they believed would prove to be an important piece of the puzzle to solve the Alliance's energy crisis. Park and her trustees have since striven to stay at the forefront of applied phoron technologies, using the relevance of the field to survive the century's economic and political crises. When NanoTrasen effectively bought the system in 2452, the board moved quickly to closely integrate itself with the megacorp.

Though young by the measure of more prestigious universities, HPEI sets itself apart on Biesel for its aggressive marketing and pursuit of emerging, high-risk fields. In no small part thanks to a close partnership with NanoTrasen, they are one of the few educational institutions in Tau Ceti to participate in the megacorp's Bluespace, xenobiology and exotic particle research programs, offering invaluable experience to their most promising students. As a for-profit institution, acceptance rates and tuition are both high, allowing the school to partially finance its own expensive pursuits. While the graduation rate is above 99%, NanoTrasen tends to cherry-pick the best of each graduating year for placement in their various research and development programs. Being limited in their choice of employers post-graduation, this selection often prompts students to compete and be recognized at the top of their class.

Campus is a sprawling locale on the southern edge of Phoenixport, accommodating a network of lecture halls, dormitories, service buildings, a retail outlet, a recreational complex, and multiple laboratory complexes. While there is no accredited athletics program, the school hosts several recreational leagues for activities ranging from association football to e-sports. The school's mascot is a friendly, fictional, labcoat-clad IPC named QUARK, but the recent political climate has prompted a review to potentially replace it.

Main employer of graduates: NanoTrasen Corporation (formerly various SolGov institutions)

Current Dean: Park Min-soo, Seong-ja's son, currently resides as Dean of the university's College of Engineering, which encompasses the vast majority of its programs. While his aging and functionally-retired mother remains the figurative leader of the institute, Min-soo has taken the majority of administrative responsibilities for himself.

Famous Graduates: Invent as necessary! HPEI is a young school, but there's potential for people to have pioneered post-warp and phoron technology here.

Name: New Seoul Combat Training Centre

Link to Lore Canonization:

Focused Field: Security (Weapons training & CCQ)

Overview: The training facility used to be the city of Seoul, the capital city of an old Earth country known as South Korea. The South Koreans started to reinforce and convert their capital to a capital city towards the end of their civil war with North Korea, but the resource crises and the unification of Earth by the Sol Alliance put an end to that. The half built training facilities were never taken apart, and sat disused for a number of years. When humanity started to live beyond the stars and more soldiers were needed to garrison whole new planets and staff ships outside the stars, construction began again. Another city was renamed Seoul, and the old Seoul was renamed New Seoul. The whole city, over 500 square miles larges, is the largest training centre in the combined human controlled territories. They, obviously, train in the use of fire and laser arms, close quarters, and less relevant to the interest of NT and other Megacorps, in atmos voidcraft training exercises. Those who wash out usually turn to outside security gigs.

Name: Biesel Institute of Medical Sciences (BIMS)

Link to Lore Canonization:

Focused Field: Theoretical Medicine and Applied Medical Science

Overview: Founded in 2185 by Dr. Harris Northrop and Dr. Elena Brush, with a fair bit of government funding and support. Intended to become an institution where students could pursue higher applications of medicine, in particular genetic and neurological areas of research. The BIMS campus is situated near the heart of Mendell City, and is considered to be the most prominent medical university on Biesel, as well as the oldest. Due to this prestigious reputation, the admissions boards can afford to be very picky in who they allow to attend, and as such, only 5.7% of qualified applicants gain entry into BIMS. Many alumni of this university have gone on to lead illustrious careers in their respective fields, and several have pushed forward the boundaries of modern medical technology.

Main employer of graduates: BIMS alumni tend to make up the majority of the medical personnel hired locally by Nanotrasen and other megacorporations based in Tau Ceti. Nanotrasen has offered scholarship programs to promising students on the condition of contractual employment with the company upon graduation.

Name:Yesten University (pronounced Yee-sten)

Link to Lore Canonization: N/A

Focused Field: STEM degrees - science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Overview:

Yesten University was founded 2419, establishing itself to be one of the most prominent STEM colleges in Tau Ceti space. It originally began as a private institution, but over time it has graciously been partnered with NanoTrasen. Even if the partnership is not public, it's little to no secret that the school has been directly influenced by the megacorporation, receiving funding in the form of donations and scholarships. Nevertheless, it retains itself to be one of the most respectable universities of Tau Ceti, having put a good chunk of that funding to good use, supplying students with its state-of-the-art facilities and campus. It has one of the largest digital libraries, with 24/7 access to synthetic tutors, archived records dating as far back to the 23rd century, and much more.

The student body is made up of 43% humans, 27% Skrell, 10% Tajara, 9% Unathi, and 11% 'other' (4% Synthetic, 5% Diona, and 2% Vaurca). It also boasts itself to be one of the more xeno-friendly universities, granting almost little-to-no-cost tuition to many underprivileged nonhumans. However, being accepted into such scholarships is quite demanding, but the xeno-recipient is granted career skills that would be difficult to find in other universities. This includes on-the-job training and entry level positions in research/engineering fields aboard NanoTrasen's prestigious stations. It is also one of the more flexible universities, accepting accredited courses from non-human universities for transferring students. They have even been known to consider (and accept) non-college training, in the form of apprenticeships and such. They equally offer life skills night classes, to assist students from differing backgrounds and cultures to more easily adapt to Tau Ceti space.

Main employer of graduates: Majority of graduates can find find themselves accepted into NanoTrasen.

Name: Trasen Memorial University (TMU)

Link to Lore Canonization: (if blank then this is a lore canonization for your university inherently) N/A

Focused Field: The university has three primary focuses, called the 'Trasen Trio', these are Business Administration, Research Administration and Biomedical

Overview:

Trasen Memorial University was founded in 2443, to honour the life Xavier Trasen. TMU had been planned and began building in the years leading up towards Xavier's expected passing. The school focuses heavily on the 'Trasen Trio', and the majority of advertising and funding goes towards the trio, as they are considered fields that Xavier portrayed utter excellence and sophistication in, like no other before him. While these three programs recieve a majority of all funding available for faculties, the school does offer and adequately fund (exceeding suggested budgets proposed by the Government's Dept. of Higher Education) all of their offered faculties, which include but are not limited to Law, Medicine, Xenoscience, Particle Physics, and Phoron Physics. The school is funded by NanoTrasen Corporation, and their moderately high tuition fees. To gain entry to TMU, one must have a minimum grade average of 80%, and have received no mark lower than 75% in their senior years of high school.

Explained Organizational Structure

The University is managed by a complex organizational structure. TMU is an official subsidiary of NanoTrasen Corporation, and the highest officials in it report to the NanoTrasen Board of Directors yearly. Officially, the Board of Governors of the university handles all oversight and appeals, and are elected by university faculty, from a pool of NanoTrasen employees and alumni.

While the BoG is considered the final authority and directive force, they cannot at any time appoint or impeach the University President or Provost, or other senior officials, and may only suggest this course of action to the Appointments Committee. This committee is made up of the Chair of the BoG, the Chief Research and Personnel Director's of NanoTrasen, the outgoing president, and at any time they so choose to participate, the CEO of NanoTrasen Corporation or the majority shareholder, should these two individuals not be the same person.

As majority shareholder and owner of NanoTrasen, which owns TMU, Miranda Trasen is considered legally to be the owner of the university, and as such may operate with executive authority over the functions of the university if deemed required by her. However, much of her powers as CEO of the university have been delegated to the President and Provost, who are considered the Chief Administrative and Operations Officers of the school, and she has never used her authority to act within the school as of today. The actual day-to-day execution of the President and Provost's directions however, are handled by the VPs and Deans.

 

Condensed Organizational Structure

NanoTrasen CEO OR Majority Shareholder

(Owner of the University, de-facto CEO through ownership)

>

NanoTrasen Board of Directors

(Receives annual reports and allots corporation funding to the university, no direct interactions aside from this)

>

Appointments Committee

(Responsible for appointing/impeaching senior officials)

>

University President ≈ University Provost (The President handles administration, financing, oversight, Provost handles academic appeals, research grants and ethics, curriculum, and appointment of Deans)

>

Vice Presidents ≈ Faculty Deans

(Vice Presidents of Finance, Academics and Administration, report directly to President. Deans are meant to be equal, however the Trasen Trio are often given a special place. Deans oversee their respective programs and report to the Provost, both VPs and Deans are on the same paygrade)

 

Due to the heavy affiliation and and influence from NanoTrasen Corporate Conglomerate, The Trasen Memorial University offers guaranteed employment to all graduates, respective to their degree, who graduate with a grade average of over 80%, and as well, offer guaranteed employment at the second-level of pay-grade for all graduates with an average of over 90%. To encourage graduates to choose employment with NanoTrasen, the university solely offers co-op, apprenticeship, and residence opportunities with the company. Additionally, it offers NanoTrasen-specific certifications that are considered additional qualifications attached to one's degree, these include:

- NanoTrasen Command Certification

- NanoTrasen Security Certification

- NanoTrasen Corporate Regulations Understanding and Application Acknowledgement

Main employer of graduates: NanoTrasen and the Republic of Biesel

**Subject to Additional Approval from Jackboot**

Because of the heavy influence from NanoTrasen during their education, and the consideration of their education to be full, adequate and exceptional by corporate officials, graduates from TMU are excused from job-experience requirements for non-command positions, and may be at least two years below the age requirements posted for positions.

Current Dean:

University President: Drake Bathory, 48, Masters in BA and Juris Doctorate, former CCIA from Sol & dual Sol-Biesel citizenship. Has a picture of Miranda and Xavier in his office. Political unspoken except when voicing NanoTrasen's formal stances.

University Provost: Dr. Lysandra Selfridge, 58, Doctorate in Advanced Particle Physics, former Research Director for NanoTrasen. Biesel citizen. Former colleague of Xavier Trasen, investigated twice by government review boards of ethics violations in research - never punished or deemed guilty.

Name: Magni University of Historical Studies
Link to Lore Canonization:
Focused Field: Research and Supply, specifically Standard History, Xenoarcheology, and Mining
Overview:

Located in the Frontier, on an asteroid colony, the university focuses primarily on studying history, archaeology, and basic Mining operations. The colony, known as the Magni Colony, or simply Magni, is located around the Magnus Star System, orbiting Magnus IV, a Gas Giant. The asteroid it is located on was home to many archaeological artifacts, which brought many archaeologists and would-be archaeologists. This allowed the Magni Colony to flourish, for a Frontier colony. Magni's culture revolved around archaeology and xeno history, and the colony is quite diverse in alien races, and even sustains a substantial IPC population. The colony became renowned for its archaeological dig sites, even after the sites have all been excavated. Without any new artifacts, a university was built, to train archaeologists in excavation, and artifact study.

Being built in the Frontier, there are some issues with it's degree in places such as the Sol Alliance. With people outside of the Magnus System, and the Frontier, underestimating them, the university sought the aid of Hephaestus Industries. Hephaestus now funds the university, and in return, they sustain a substantial presence in the Magnus System, forming mining operations and factories both on and off the asteroid. In turn, the university gains funds for equipment, and gives its graduates job opportunities with Hephaestus Industries. They gain the education in Magni, and the work experience from Hephaestus Industries. Hephaestus's presence in the university added shaft mining to the university's curriculum.

Note

Honestly, I know this is barebones. I didn't see anything for my favorite role (Xenoarchaeologist/Anomalist), and decided to place my input. It's simply what I had for my current Xenoarch, Aksel Blackburn, and decided to see if it can get "canonized".

Name: Liuxian Institute of Artisinal Arts

Link to Lore Canonization: [N/A]

Focused Field: Civilian Sector (Bartending; Cooking; Hydroponics. It’s just another Civilian Sector training institute, to show a variety so not all the civilian employed came from the Nanotrasen Academy)

Overview:

The Institute is located within Mendell City’s district 7, known for the numerous casinos, clubs, bars and other high-end entertainment, and so to no surprise, the institute hosts an upper-class Restaurant as well as an underground Nightclub.

The Institutes restaurant is known by the name of "Baoshi's" and is usually staffed by the students, who undergo a quite rigorous competition run by the Head Chef, Vijya Bhatta, which is based on performance, taste, as well as creativity in order to be selected, to serve the customers dishes within Baoshi’s.  It also hosts a Nightclub "Nebula", known for its open doors to all species, even going as far as each night to offer specials and discounts for a certain species (Saturday is Squid's Night for the Skrell, ie they get 20% off all their drinks). Students who study mixology will often find themselves scheduled to work here in order to refine their communication skills as well as their mixology training.

The Institute was established during the 2350s by Xia Liuxian and vver the period of 2356 to 2456, it had managed to grow from a few hundred students a year to just over four thousand, allowing the construction of additional facilities to increase their capabilities from a humble ‘training’ institute to a rather established one that taught Mixology, Culinary Arts, Fashion Design and Agriculture. 

The Institute had implemented its motto mid-2357, regularly reminding students via the countless holographic displays across its main building, “Dream, hope, aspire.” The Liuxian family has maintained ownership of the Institute since its establishment over a century ago, and now offer financial aid to Idris Incorporated employees or future employees. Members of the family are often seen around Idris’ interstellar credit storages, begging the question of how deep their pockets are lined with Idris’ influence.
