Galen Advanced 

Technology Group

(AGATE)

Name: Galen Advanced Technology Group (AGATE)

Location: AGATE owns facilities across the Federation, and many others support AGATE work, the central headquarters are on Gadarren in Adantia, though this particular building simply coordinates the AGATE work within the Federation, other buildings on Athene provide meeting places with other research groups, especially FIAS.

Established: AGATE grew out of Galen Coordinated Technology (GCT, Est 2021), a bureaucratic institute that coordinated research with the Galen sphere before contact. Since contact GCT has become AGATE.

Notes: The transition from GCT to AGATE was primarily for efficiency, after contact the Galen gained access to Federation technology, and as such had to change its current research priorities, as otherwise they may pointlessly discover things they are freely able to learn from Federation knowledge. As such AGATE existed so that Galen researchers were working on problems that had not already been tackled by the Federation, and enabled efficient coordinated research amongst other Federation races. Today in its current form AGATE still coordinates a number of smaller research initiatives in an efficient manner, though it has by in large evolved into a domestic science agency for the Federation. AGATE plays an important part in maintaining integrated transport within the Federation, and also supplying other utilities, it also acts as an information handling service. Current research is towards more environmentally friendly technology to support Federation colonies with a particular emphasis on advanced nanotechnology and AI.
