"Thanks to the tireless efforts from some of the greatest minds in the galaxy, we have established a new institution of higher learning, Phu Sector University, in which we can guide students to become the great minds of tomorrow. I predict the future of the Phu sector, and perhaps galaxy as a whole, will become all the brighter thanks to our efforts here."
— Wes Reed


Nestled safely within the Candoria Asteroid Belt, the Phu Sector University (PSU) proclaims it is the first of its kind: an intra-galactic place of higher learning for individuals of all races and species to pursue education in the arts, sciences, and engineering and investigate the unsolved mysteries of the Galaxy.

Campus

PSU's two campuses are integrated within University City (the Asteroid's sole population center). The larger of the two is simply called The School of Arts and Sciences and the smaller is the PSU Teaching Hospital, also known as the School of Medicine.

School of Arts and Sciences

The larger of the two campuses, the School of Arts and Sciences (SAS) spans several buildings across University City. Each of these buildings contains one or more academic departments. Currently there are approximately twenty departments ranging from religion to engineering (which is itself divided into smaller departments based on the many different types of engineering) to business to xenobiology, to name a few. Wes Reed is currently the dean of the SAS.

School of Medicine

The School of Medicine, formally known as the PSU Teaching Hospital, was constructed to have many purposes. It boasts several floors of actual medical facilities, examination rooms, and a clinic. What sets it apart from other hospitals is its customized architecture. The upper floors of the building are packed with lecture halls, classrooms, and small research and experimentation labs. Each room in the hospital features state-of-the-art medical equipment and technologies. Computers within the building have wireless access to the Holonet and every scholarly medical journal in the galaxy. Patient logs are kept in closely guarded, high security vaults. Dr. Spree Razzix is currently the dean of the School of Medicine.


Academics

Due to the variety of buildings included in the SAS, the PSU curriculum is quite diverse. The following is a list of the currently established departments, their locations, and the faculty and staff. As the University grows in student attendance, so will the sizes and quantities of departments.

Schools, Faculties & Departments

Currently classes are in session and the school is continuing to hire scholars for teaching positions. That being said, the current list of departments is sparse and broad.

Fully equipped, state-of-the-art Laboratories and Research Facilities can be found all over campus. These facilities focus on a wide range of topics from experimental drug trials to religious studies.

The Chapel

There is no redemption-machine, no iconostasis, not even an altar in Professor Boqui’s Chapel. This is, in some ways, a testament to the wonderfully wide range of sentient-races and beliefs attending the university. The facility’s outward appearance is surprisingly old-fashioned, especially given the extremely modern approach taken by the other buildings on PSU’s campus. However, the whimsy that colours Barafonda’s teaching style can be found everywhere within the chapel: Jedi figurines share shelf space with a signed B'omarr egg and a Alissma Findsman's staff, while in the sepulchre hangs a picture of Kamparian priest, sporting a mullet and snacking on what appears to be barbecued Ewok leg.

Razzix Lab

Dr. Razzix is currently pursuing a study on the anatomy and bodily functions of the Diathim species. These "angels" from Iego have proved to be a medical mystery to the galaxy's scientists ever since their discovery in Year 14. The lab is expected to publish a case study some time in year 17.


Non-Academic Establishments

PSU's campus is integrated with the general populous of the Candoria Asteroid Belt, in the aptly named University City. The city itself contains a wide variety of places of interest.

Name Type Location Opening Date
Maxim's Place Dining 13, 8 Y15 D63

Regal Hotel 14, 12 Y15 D149

Dining

Food is a large part of the culture on PSU campus, and the diverse types of cuisine offered reflect that fact.

Maxim's Place

An honest-to-goodness tavern. Stocked with fine liquor ,dining, and boasts a giant game room in the basement. It’s called “Maxim’s Place”. Named after owner and master mixologist Maxim Balls, this tavern is outfitted to satisfy any thirsty sentient that comes through its doors. Established the first week the asteroid colony that would be Phu Sector University broke ground, Max’s was the retreat for off-duty construction workers. As the University sprang up around it, new customers began filling its tills: students. To this day it is the second-most successful business on the Asteroid, falling just behind the Regal (based on a Year 16 poll of residents). When not being tended by Maxim, the bar is seen to by a modified COO droid dubbed “Pistachio”. The droid was originally the sous chef at the Regal prior to a catastrophic behavior core corruption that made it quite unsuitable for top-grade cooking. Put on the local Holonet marketplace at a heavy discount and branded “defective” Pistachio was seemingly doomed for the scrap heap. Just days before the Regal scheduled dismantling the droid, Maxim bought it at an even heavier discount and put its six arms to work. Realizing the potential for such an unique droid, Maxim had volumes upon volumes hard-coded into the droid’s half-corrupted memory core.

Through this process, the droid practically forgot all its gourmet recipes and techniques. In their stead was a legendary encyclopedia of simple and complicated drinks, garnishes, and techniques. As a last-minute upgrade, Maxim commissioned a PhD candidate programmer to code in a top-end learning and creativity function. The project was completed almost to perfection until another accident caused the droid’s behavior core to suffer another major corruption, causing a massive personality to develop in the droid. Since that last malfunction, the droid has been performing its duties perfectly, all while boasting a dry, snarky wit during customer interaction.

Frequent customers and part-time volunteer bartenders flow from PSU’s only fraternity “Mern Esk Cresh” (MEC). Its membership are backbones to the bar’s atmosphere. While not technically affiliated with the bar, MEC might as well be.

The Cathar's Meow

Priding itself in its top-shelf staff, “The Cathar’s Meow” serves up exotic and delicious eats inspired from dishes from across the galaxy. Chefs of many species bring their unique cooking styles and culture to this bistro’s kitchen. This includes full-time staff, students from the PSU culinary program, and invited chefs from off world.

The Regal

The long waiting list for the Regal Hotel’s small, five star bistro is well-deserved. Chefs from the culinary school as well as offworld guest chefs give guests a true treat.
