A university is an institution of higher education and centre of research within the United Empire of Earth (UEE). While many are centred on the education-dominated Rhetor system, many other developed systems also have universities, or indeed several. It is not confirmed whether famous universities on Earth have persisted to the 30th century.

Universities of the Rhetor System

Rhetor was discovered in 2287, making it the second extrasolar system to be visited after Croshaw, and the first system known two jumps away from the Sol system. The Croshaw - Rhetor Jump Point was discovered by students from Martian Institute of Space and Technology. The school's then-president Adrianne Zemlock , a critic of the way that Croshaw had been colonised by corporate interests, ransomed the Jump Point location to the government in return for a quarter of the habitable or terraformed land being set aside for educational purposes^[1].

Universities of Persei (Rhetor II)

University of Persei Analytical Research and Quantification (UPARQ)

The University of Persei Analytical Research and Quantification (UPARQ), based on Persei, is one of the most influential think tanks in the UEE. Much of the new technological advancement for the UEE is thought to originate here. Some of this government work is classified but energy-efficient quantum drives and improved thermal-resistant spacesuit fabric are believed to have originated there.^[2]

UPARQ Alumni and Faculty

Burl Hitchens, founder of MaxOx - Expelled^[3]
Dr. Marcus Fayel, terraforming expert, founder of the Outsiders cult^[4]
Simone Visconti, founder of Basilisk - Dropped out after one year^[5]

Other Institutions on Persei

Founders of Caldera, Layth Brentano and Tetsuuya Lang, were provided with a research lab on Persei after graduation. This lab was close to a Department of the Interior laboratory, where they met Akili Harris who is credited with inspiring the development of the Novikov "Expo" Armor and Pembroke Armor.^[6] Attempts to weaponise terraforming technology were conducted in a laboratory on Persei, under the codename Project Vespa.^[3]^[7] It is unclear whether these laboratories and institutions were associated with UPARQ.

Universities of Reisse (Rhetor III)

Carey University

Dr. Brian Ramsey, a chemist and researcher at Carey University, was credited as in expert in Maze rehabilitation and treating the 'disconnection' found in its users. He alleged that his former research partner Dr. Eva Anwar stole Maze for use in unregulated human experimentation^[8]. This was later confirmed by the Advocacy^[9].

Professor Audra Zupan worked at Carey in 2945^[10].

Other sources place Carey University in the town of Reis, on Lago in the Nexus system^[11], where a Messer Scholar assisted Apocalypse Arms founder Dalton Colabello in tracking prototype weapons that would lead to his founding of the company.^[12]

University of Rhetor

The University of Rhetor houses archives documenting the history of the North American Alliance.^[13] Genetic researchers at the University of Rhetor created the Opera Mushroom, Pleurotus cornusymphonia. The first Xiphopods discovered on Leir I were brought to the University for study.^[14] Rhetor researchers used krypton-81 dating to find the age of the glaciers of Helios IV.^[15] Each year, eight students at the University of Rhetor receive the Ingstrom Fellowship for their work in the field of xenoarchaeology^[16].

University of Rhetor Alumni and Faculty

Dr. Wahid Allimon - Professor of Geology in 2945.^[17]
Layth Brentano and Tetsuuya Lang - founders of Caldera, studied engineering.^[6]
Pippa Broussard - Greycat Industrial CEO in 2380, daughter of founder Odis Broussard.^[18]
Professor Galbeeti Desai - educator cited as an inspiration by Silas Koerner.^[19]
Members of the Ingstrom family, including Jovi Ingstrom and Theo Ingstrom - founders of Esperia, studied aerospace engineering.^[16]
Ruben Pardeu - Greycat Industrial engineer^[18]

Universities of Mentor (Rhetor IV)

Universities of Rhetor with no Specified Location

Scaliger School of Medicine

The Scaliger School of Medicine was attended by BiotiCorp founders, Ted Santos and Diyo Nikolas, who met as doctoral students. Their collaboration began in a lab named 'Decon' for its overly sensitive decontamination system. The School later invested in their private venture.^[20] As BiotiCorp is headquartered on Reisse, the Scaliger School of Medicine may also be located there.
