Eren Research Installation

The Eren Research Installation is a hidden research and development station formally used by House Arkoh, and now sponsored by Paul Luz and other shadow investors. Located just outside of Trade Federation-- controlled space, it provides a secure research space beyond the reach of bio-ethical regulations, restrictions on equipment, and other sanctions. Historically, this privacy has been used by the station's researchers to run genetic and medical expiriments and studies. Eren also houses restricted laboratories where ancient Force-related and Rakatan artifacts as well as artifacts of unknown pedigree are analyzed and deconstructed in hopes of reverse-engineering them to apply their designs to modern technologies. The station is named after Eren, the life-giving goddess of the Aedra pantheon, a native religion of Korriban.

The station's location is a closely guarded secret, known only to Karissa Endeel-the station's architect and manager-, and it's patron, Paul Luz, who oversaw its fundraising and construction. All research aides and assistants are personally chosen by the researchers and must undergo certification and approval by the station's board of directors.To maintain the privacy of the station, strict non-disclosure contracts are required, all clothes and supplies are supplied by the House, and the researchers and aides are transported aboard a private shuttle so that they cannot know the station's location, even if they desired to.

Ongoing Research Projects

Con Semper is currently using the majority of his assigned wing to house a section of Phase II of his Arkanian-Offshoot program, and to prepare for Phase III. While the majority of the program is carried out in his official labs in the Hassaria system, the labs on Eren act as additional security and perhaps will provide Eren with its own generation of native scientists, dramatically cutting down on the security concerns with researchers that come and go.

Paul Luz specially designed his laboratories into two levels. One level hosts his secure archive where relics, artifacts, and texts can be preserved, stored, and studied. Level Two is more secure, and is where he is carrying out experiments to study midichlorians and genetic aspects of the Force.

Station Defenses

While the Eren Installation management maintains close ties to the Trade Federation, the station itself lies outside of Federation-controlled space. As such, the Federation Security forces do not maintain a presence at Eren, nor are they obligated to protect it if discovered. The station hosts a small defense fleet that patrols nearby space and maintains a relay network to monitor for possible interlopers.
