The Directorate of Research and Development (R&D) is the governing body of the technological future of the Empire.
Role
The Directorate of R&D is responsible for the development and improvment of Imperial and Nationalized Factions' technology. Leading the galaxy in state-of-the-art technology, R&D works effortlessly to ensure a constant and steady turn out of new designs.
R&D is pursued on two fronts, the first being the Galactic laboratories and the universaties; the second front is the Nationalized Factions that have R&D representatives that work on manufacturing efficiency (reducing build time and raw materials for various items as well as easier maintenance/repair), item improvement (weight reduction, increased accuracy for weapons, increased maneuverability for ships/vehicles, etc.) and new items (better armor, engines, weapons, etc.). These institutions focus on long term advanced development projects that target exciting new technologies. The Directorate staff manages the galactic laboratories and provided grants to universities to support promising research taking place in those institutions.
