Basel Institute of Science (バーゼル理科大学) is a technical institute in Basel, Calvard.

Background

The Basel Institute of Science is a higher learning facility located in Basel, focused upon the sciences and engineering.It is the greatest technical institute in the republic. Middle-Eastern scholars have had a huge amount of influence over the Institute, with Latoya Hamilton counted amongst this number, one of the three great disciples of C. Epstein. They receive a great deal of investors from other countries. The institute and Craftsmen's Guild collaborated to create the Verne Company.

The institute itself is located on the highest tier of Basel, requiring a certain level of security clearance to access. It is one of the three major powers governing Basel, alongside the Verne Company and the Craftsmens' Guild. It is a popular tourist attraction, but a clearance card is needed to access the building. The round annex of the building is its astronomical observatory. There is also a conference room and a terminal room where the supercomputer Aurora is kept. They have a working relationship with the Motor Pavilion and are well acquainted.

The institute has an ethics board which ruled reactor weapons as taboo since the discovery of stable orbal technology. Other countries' institutes have done the same.

The Institute and Verne are working on two major projects, one including the Xipha and another involved with national defence.

Developments & Partnerships

Verne Company

The Basel Institute of Science receives grants from the Verne Company in exchange for research and development of their products. This partnerships ensures Verne incorporates cutting-edge technology and research into its products from industry leading experts at the Institute of Science. Projects the Institute of Science have undertaken with Verne include:

• RAMDA - 5th generation combat orbment developed with the Epstein Foundation
• Xipha - 6th generation combat orbment commissioned by President Roy Gramheart
• Development of a water management system in Tharbad that has been credited with driving the city’s current prosperity by directly contributing to the rise of the entertainment district. Led by Professor Latoya Hamilton.
• Aurora - the central computer terminal powering Basel. Support for the project was given by Verne along with the Epstein Foundation, and Zeiss Central Factory. Development was led by Professor Hamilton and Professor David Callaghan
• Development of the last two generations of orbal weaponry for the Republican Army:
  • Previous generation: led by Professor David Callaghan
    • Wezen series tank
    • Baten-Kaitos airship
  • Current generation: led by Professor Yang Cronkite
    • Schedar tank series
    • Ix-Alba airship (co-developed with the Aldra Company)
    • Assault Frame Xycres

Other Notable Partnerships

• Marduk Total Security Company - partnered with Professor Esmeray Archette and the Bioengineering Department in researching/developing artificial bionic limbs - prosthetics that link directly to the user's nerves. Archette notes this research only at the prototype stage.
• Kowloon Group - Professor Hamilton would design the Langport Trade Center and Luoxhou Bridge for the Kowloon Group. Construction would be undertaken by the Basel Artisans' Guild.
