Editing Institution

An [[Institution]], in the most formal sense, is an [[organization]] of lasting value that has recognition of the significant value it contributes to the greater [[culture]] of its [[society]].
* In practical terms, this invariably means that the [[organization]] receives both governmental and public sanction (popular support) in the form of financial support, or funding, as well as other types of support. 
* Sometimes this means that a particular Imperial Institution is recognized by the [[Emperor]] and receives [[Imperial Sanction]].
 
==Description (Specifications)==
Several kinds of Institutes have received [[Imperial Sanction]] over the years and these include:

===Cultural Institutes ===
A [[Culture Institute]] is a pretty vague thing with little to no set definition. And yet one is needed before an [[Imperial Cultural Region]] can be established. The Darmine, for instance, have a massive Cultural Institute System established across Darmine Space. It consists of numerous campuses, interplanetary exchanges, and other practices that help the Darmine to preserve a common culture in the face of the destabilizing forces of interstellar commerce and governance.

=== Economic Institutes ===
While various types of economic institutes have been experimented with over the years, no particular form has received the Emperor's Sanction yet. However the institutions of the [[bureaux]] and [[megacorporation]] have. The [[Imperial Family]] is heavily invested in many such business entities.

=== Educational Institutes ===
Many universities and other places of higher learning have been certified as [[Educational Institute]]s. Educational Institutes help to consolidate knowledge, science,and pedagogy across the vast expanses of interstellar space. The [[AAB]] was one of the original institutes and serves as a central clearing house for knowledge within the Third Imperium.

=== Psionic Institutes ===
At one time the [[Psionic Institutes]] held sanction before the [[Psionics Suppressions]]. The Psionic Institutes once helped to unify and legitimize [[Psionics]].

==History & Background (Dossier)==
Unlike many other interstellar empires, the [[Third Imperium]] is better known for its many disparate [[societies]] than its commonalities. Each [[sector]] and practically each [[subsector]] is a kingdom of its own. As the [[Third Imperium]] grew, an increasing number of institutes have received [[Imperial Sanction]] and serve as unifying elements within an extremely variegated [[civilization]]. 

===Institutes & Bureaux===
The origin of the Institutions system is found in the [[First Imperium]] or [[Ziru Sirka]]. The [[AAB]] was formed as one of the original [[Institute]]s to coordinate the collection of learned knowledge across interstellar distances.
