Imperial Research Station
Revision as of 06:02, 4 April 2022 by Patrick Morris Miller (talk | contribs) (→1. Research Station Alpha: fix sp/red link)
Imperial Research Stations can be located across the scattered worlds of the Third Imperium and manifest a wide range of technological levels: this diversity is maintained by the distances between worlds, the high cost of transportation, and the relative independence allowed to worlds within the Third Imperium.

Description (Specifications)
Imperial research may delve into many different areas or subject matters. Some examples include:
Note: While many research subject matters are grouped into specific technological classifications, it is often a subjective determination since many technologies are dual-use, triple-use, or widely varied in their applications and usage. For example, many common, transportation and quality of life technologies also have military applications.

History & Background (Dossier)
Nevertheless, the Imperium itself is constantly involved with research projects at the forefronts of technology. While some new technology can be purchased from advanced cultures beyond the Imperial boundaries, such high technology is expensive, and still requires a solid technological foundation to allow its usage. Consider: however useful solid-state chip circuits are, they still require a firm grounding in electronics, and cannot be used on a large scale without electronics, individual solid-state chip components, photo processing, and even crystal culture. It is vital that the Imperium pass through many stages of technological development on the way to achievement in higher tech level areas.
