The Edgeworld University is a one of a kind university. Its headquarters is located on Prof. Regis Nerva's "Shukensha" class luxury liner. Founded by a collaborative group called the Zoner Consensus it is supposed to be a realm of elitist education for everyone, independent from the house systems and bureaucracy. It has six academic divisions with strong emphasis on science, history and engineering. It provides several factions the opportunity to host lessons according to their profession. Having probably access to the highest variety of experts, the Edgeworld University wants to be the most advanced place for education and knowledge within the human settled universe.
Prof. Nerva Regis: A scientist and philanthropist, Prof. Nerva is always on the lookout for new and exciting science projects. Although he managed to collect several specializations during his life, he mostly focuses on Artificial Intelligence research and Bio-engineering. If he is not on one of his custom Corvos zooming around Sirius to help people that need his assistance, he can be found aboard his fortress "Unity". From all his lifetime projects, Prof.Nerva is particularly proud of his Omicron Orphan Initiative; which seeks to improve the life or orphans from all over Sirius.
Dr. Wes Octavis: A long time student, who has collected doctoral degrees as other people collect stamps, Wes was banned from the University, because of a tendency of hanging around at the University for his lifetime. He lacks in being emotional and understanding forms of sarcasm and irony, which can be confusing or even annoying in a conversation with him. Even though there isn’t doubt that Wes is of a genious mind, he sees himself as the most intelligent person in Sirius and doesn’t hesitate demonstrating it. He leads the archaeology subject at the Edgeworld University.
Dr. Eli Starkweather: Originating from Leeds and lecturing at the University of Cambridge for a long time, but leaving the place for the pleasure of independence. Eli started hiring on the Antarctica and leading the chemistry team at the research vessel. He was a good friend of the former Captain and was a major part in the advanced education of the Captain's daughter Alessa. Even though Elis appearance might be very conversative for others, he has a good heart and a very modern view on moral and ethics. His passion is to motivate people into sciences, offer them good advises and education. Eventually he died in 823 A.S., but his mind and memory was uploaded into a neural computer located at the Edgeworld University.
