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.
Student Life and Housing
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 no 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.
| School | Department | Dept Head | Founding Date |

| Anesthesiology | Spree Razzix | Y15 D131 | |

Ongoing Research
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 16.
