[[Rhetor system|Rhetor]] was discovered in 2287, making it the second extrasolar system to be visited after [[Croshaw system|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 system|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<ref name=":4">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/15050-Galactic-Guide-Rhetor-System|text=Galactic Guide: Rhetor System|accessdate=2021-03-15}}</ref>.

Today the system is synonymous with higher education, and is home to a number of prestigious institutions, including:
Rhetor is also home to [[Rhetor University Press]], a publishing company that in 2935 published Dr. Flower Raith's ''Humanity Verses the Universe''<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/14619-Galactic-Guide-Tyrol-System|text=Galactic Guide: Tyrol System|accessdate=2021-04-19}}</ref>. It is not clear if the press is associated with a specific institution.

===Universities on Mentor (Rhetor IV)===
Universities on the cold, boreal planet of [[Mentor]] are highly rated, and students are considered overall more studious than those on [[Reisse]].<ref name=":4" />

====University of Mentor====
The [[University of Mentor]] (UM) is a public research university on [[Mentor|Mentor (Rhetor IV)]]. Established shortly after the planet was terraformed, it is the oldest and largest institute of higher learning on Mentor. Its physical sciences and history programs are highly competitive, with 5 to 10% admissions rates for new students. UM’s reputation for rigorous, demanding study coupled with Mentor’s frigid environment may factor into the school’s relatively high dropout rate. The University of Mentor is responsible for maintenance and research efforts connected with the UEE's [[Universal seed vault|universal seed vaults]].<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RWozpy2kwa-university-of-mentor|text=Galactapedia: University of Mentor|accessdate=2021-03-16}}</ref>

Revision as of 10:40, 30 April 2021

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, several other developed systems also have universities, and some planets have numerous Universities.

Universities of the Rhetor System

Reisse, in 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].

Today the system is synonymous with higher education, and is home to a number of prestigious institutions, including:

Universities of the Sol System

Moscow, on Earth. Home to the University of Moscow.

As the home system of mankind, Sol is home to numerous ancient and prestigious institutions of higher education on both Earth and Mars.

This institutions in the Sol system include:

Universities of Terra

Terra is home to Song University and Terra University, as well as the Prime Linguistics Institute and the Quasi Institute for Xenological Studies.

Quasi Institute for Xenological Studies (QIXS)

The Quasi Institute for Xenological Studies (QIXS) is located in Quasi. For two years following its discovery, the Vasli Fragment Stone was housed at QIXS.[13]

Prime Linguistics Institute

Dr. Amelia Kesh was head chair of the Prime Linguistics Institute, located in the capital city of Prime in 2934. She was commissioned to construct an exact replica of the Vasli Fragment Stone.[13]

Song University

Song University was named for Wei-Yin Song, who discovered Terra in 2516. The University has a strong presence in Banu cultural studies.[14]

Alumni and Faculty of Song University

University of Saisei

The University of Saisei is located on Saisei (Centauri III). It restored a former terraforming station on Yar (Centauri II) as a research outpost in 2501. The parents of Kayva Crosby were employed to run the facility's landing pad. Kayva was born shortly after their arrival in 2503. In 2518, biotech expert Meredith Douze joined the outpost with her son, Aaron Douze. After returning to Saisei at the age of 17, Aaron studied business at the University, followed by Kayva who studied engineering: the two later marry, and founded Tumbril Land Systems.[24]
