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.

Educational Institutes

Many universities and other places of higher learning have been certified as Educational Institutes. Educational Institutes help to consolidate knowledge, science,and pedagogy across the vast expanses of interstellar space.

• AAB

Psionic Institutes
