University of Persei Analytical Research and Quantification

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.

UPARQ scientists are believed to have reverse engineered the tech used by Vanduul boarding "Spikes", adapting it for human use.
