Ionic Laboratories - Printable Version

Ionic Laboratories is an educational, research, and manufacturing facility and the headquarters of Ionic Incorporated, a subsidiary of Kishiro Technologies.
Constructed near the Galileo jumpgate in Shikoku in early 834 under the terms of the same grant that laid the foundation of its operating company, the facility aims to train the next generation of Kishiro's scientists and engineers, and maintain its parent company's place at the leading edge of technological development in the sector.

Education & Research

The main promenade

Ionic offers postgraduate programs to alumni from accredited institutions across Sirius. Preferential selection will be applied for applicants with degrees in the fields most relevant to the company's technological focus, physics and engineering in particular, but every submitter will be evaluated on their own merits.

Students can gain hands-on experience at our state-of-the-art laboratories and manufacturing facilities, taking part in the development of some of the sector's most advanced technology. Our dedication to educational excellence means strict scrutiny in the selection process and as a result, an exclusive and high focus environment, with a student to faculty ratio no greater than fifteen to one.
The station's facilities are the newest in the sector, a fresh, cosmopolitan environment with access to all academic resources the scientific community's cutting edge has to offer, and the comforts of the colonies' most renowned institutions.

Manufacturing & Sales

Students at Ionic

Together with its academic facilities, our industrial segments form an integrated system of applied technological workmanship. Initially housed in the same modular station construction, rapid expansion of both soon necessitated the separation between the high-tech academic Laboratories, and a new heavy industry annex, Ionic Industries. The station operates its own nuclear fuel enrichment centrifuge, allowing a high degree of independence from fuel imports, as well as on-site training for the next generation of nuclear fission specialists. Electronics assembly can source from the station's own platinum smelter, drawing from the rich deposits in neighboring Galileo, and offering opportunities for ascending metallurgists.
Under normal operation, we are able to offer fission fuel and metallic platinum for export to select parties.

The heart of Ionic's manufacturing capability at the laboratories is the field of high technology spacecraft equipment. Hyperspace modulation and experimental weapons technology are highly sensitive fields - work in this sector is conducted by carefully vetted, seasoned employees, and sales thereof are generally restricted to close partners or governmental contracts. The select few that fit the criteria can expect a career in a lucrative and highly future-safe environment.
Aside from special-order-basis high technology manufacturing, the laboratories operate series production of a variety of snubcraft armaments for public sale.
