Xenotech Research Institute

The Xenotech Research Institute (XRI) is a newly established research group focused on the examination of alien technology 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.

M.A.R.S. 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.
