Free University of Ushra

The Free University of Ushra is a University.

• It is an Educational Institute.

Description (Specifications)

This is an Institute of Higher Learning located on Ushra, in Dagudashaag Sector. It is one of the foremost seats of advanced learning in the Third Imperium.

The university is acknowledged as a center of excellence in many subjects, both arts and sciences, but is particularly well known for its historical/sophontological studies and its research in physical science and engineering disciplines.

• One of the greatest claims to fame of the Engineering Faculty is its formation of OrbiTower Corporation, the design consultancy which drew up the plans for Dagudashaag’s first beanstalk on Gateway (Dagudashaag 1331).
• A branch of the University is the University of Ushra Institute of Advanced Technology.
• The Free University of Ushra has a surface base at Shabamiir. The base was attacked by the Red Eagles in the last major act that could be traced to the group. The attack resulted in the death of 100 University personnel. The Red Eagles claimed this attack took place because Ushra had "sold out" the Solomani ideal.
• The Free University of Ushra maintains a base on Uaam in order to study the fascinating neolithic race known as the Jala'Lak.
• For centuries Icarbus has been an important archaeological site. The site is maintained by staff from both the Free University of Ushra and the Theimr Aekl.
• The Free University of Ushra and the University of Korvell-Medurma maintain a colony of biologists on Gesalt (Dagudashaag 2439) to study the early evolution of life on the world.

History & Background (Dossier)

Founded as the Republican Military Scientific Academy in -1440, the University has since grown to number some 40,000 permanent teaching staff and 200,000 students.

In 1077, the prominent researchers Manasharlu and Vines resigned from the Free University in disgrace after it became evident that they had misrepresented experimental data to falsely suggest development of a faster-than-light communication system.
