S.P.A.C.E.

Type:	Krewe
Founded:	1328 A.E.
Active?	Yes
Headquartered in:	Southern Kryta

The Survey and Perambulation of Adjacent Celestial Environments (S.P.A.C.E.) megakrewe is Tyria's first aerospace research agency, responsible for developments in civilian transportation safety, advances in flight and rocketry, deep space observation, and data storage. It was founded by Starmapper Yukii and Novachaser Sakki in 1328 A.E. under the Foreign Soil Research Act with a staff of four members. Currently, it maintains over 120 salaried researchers and 10 contractors working at any one time.

Facilities

S.P.A.C.E. maintains three major campuses:

• Grunnur, otherwise known as Foundation, is the main facility located near the coast of Kryta. Vehicle fabrication is conducted here, as well as most terrestrial-based research. The krewe maintains a freight-scale gate hub, hospital, and dormitories on this campus.
• Astrallite currently hosts vehicle storage and provides a launch platform on the island of Istan. It also carries a large port on the west side of the island.
• Mioja, the newest campus, is still under construction in Cantha's Seitung Province. It will boast two launchpads, additional vehicle storage, advanced mission monitoring capabilities, and enable a far more efficient launch profile.

Structure

As a megakrewe, S.P.A.C.E. is organized into three distinct divisions. These divisions are each led by the division head, and smaller teams in the krewe can be assigned to any division. Starmapper Yukii is the current krewe chief.

Consumer Products

Several vehicle designs that are either already in or are planned to be in full production have emerged from the krewe's development team. The Synergetics 'Skimmer' model Wubray and Synergetics 'Skyscale' model Dwagon are the most recent entries into the market, and sales of these vehicles provide a large portion of the krewe's funding. Additionally, the RDCA is included in all datapad software distributions.
