Xenotech Research Institute

The Xenotech Research Institute (XRI) is a newly established research group focused on the examination of alien technology (many observed in the Delta Quadrant, but not exclusively from there) with the intention of reverse engineering and extrapolating new ideas and advances from technology encountered by and from other species. Work conducted at the institute is often theoretical, or at a highly experimental stage requiring sophisticated lab research. Technologies studied at the institute would be considered game-changers should they come to fruition. The institute is located in Module C of Tucker Station.

Artificial Neutronium Synthesis Project

For years now, Starfleet have been looking for improved materials when it comes to Starfleet construction, especially for the hulls of their ships. One such material that has always been of interest is neutronium. At the core of neutron stars, neutronium is a natural, dense material with properties that make it difficult to scan beyond. Starfleet has never been able to produce neutronium artificially despite the obvious benefits it would have for the construction of starships and starbases. The ANS project is in its infancy but draws upon research and theories already published.

Coaxial Warp Drive Development Project

After years of petitioning from research teams across the Federation, the XRI won the bid to accelerate the research and construction phases of the Coaxial Warp Drive as one of its flagship projects. In theory, the drive works by having a ship draw in subatomic particles and reconfiguring their internal geometries, allowing the ship to fold the fabric of space and, potentially, travel instantaneously from one location to another across vast distances.

Neuro-Synaptic Stimulator

One of the oldest projects at the XRI, having moved there from Jupiter Station, the Neuro-Synaptic Stimulator is a culmination of a variety of technologies brought together in one small device. By tapping into the visual cortex, the device generates images, both real and fictional, inside the user's mind. Tests have shown the device may well have health-improving benefits, but there have been stumbling blocks when tested by individuals of several species.

+=====Artificial Neutronium Synthesis Project=====
-A failed experiment conducted at the [[Sathea IV]] laboratory under the auspices of Starfleet Intelligence, the [[Multi Adaptive Refractive Shielding system]] (or MARS as it is referred to) was designed with the intent of merging two very different technologies together in order to create a stealth technology that would counter the Treaty of Algeron and the prohibition on the creation of Federation cloaking technology. Several failed field tests led to the Corps of Engineers taking over the project and returning it to the drawing board at Avalon Fleet Yards as the flagship project of a new institute. Almost a dozen science and engineering personnel are assigned to the project, with specialists from other fields joining on an as-needed basis.
