They operate anywhere that they can find something of any scientific interest and rely on income from their Commerce division. Sirius Research and Development operated in secret for some time, but it found that in order to continue research, it would have to operate more in house space in order to acquire more members. Sirius Research and Development is split into two divisions, Science and Commerce. The Science division conducts the main research and development whilst the Commerce division focuses on funding the entire faction and ensuring the safety of its members. The Commerce division was instated by [[George Quest]] in 765 [[A.S.]] to make the faction self sufficient, able to protect its own members whilst being able to fund its endeavours. |

Information
Sirius research and development is a Sirius wide research company that is not tied to any of the houses. They operate anywhere that they can find something of any scientific interest and rely on income from their Commerce division. Sirius Research and Development operated in secret for some time, but it found that in order to continue research, it would have to operate more in house space in order to acquire more members. Sirius Research and Development is split into two divisions, Science and Commerce. The Science division conducts the main research and development whilst the Commerce division focuses on funding the entire faction and ensuring the safety of its members. The Commerce division was instated by George Quest in 765 A.S. to make the faction self sufficient, able to protect its own members whilst being able to fund its endeavours.
History
750 A.S. – Founded by George Quest. George already had a few people working with him, as scientists. George had the idea of inviting more scientists to join them, and research together. Soon they had numbers in the dozens, and so, Sirius Research and Development was born.
760 A.S. - The aims of Sirius Research and Development weren’t clear to most of those outside it. All they knew was, new things were being rapidly introduced to the market, and that Sirius Research and Development were growing in power with the growth of the technology market.
As Sirius Research and Development grew in power and gained a stronger influence, it encountered obstacles, smaller companies trying to make a name for themselves, these companies posed a threat to the faction's influence on the market, and soon the faction started becoming more secretive and restricting who could, or couldn't, trade in their wares and knowledge.
765 A.S. - As the faction grew in influence, fifteen years from the founding by George Quest, so did their need for safety and funding. George Quest introduced a new ranking system for the faction that would allow the faction to fund itself and be able to protect its members.
772 A.S. - George Quest, now aged 72 renounced his leadership, and his son, Henry Quest took over from him. This change was widely accepted as Henry was well known with most of the members. Henry's views were mostly those of his father, who kept a careful eye on him, and was his preferred adviser.
782 A.S. - Sirius Research and Development held a celebration for Henry Quest's tenth year in power, the celebration took place on Freeport XV.
794 A.S. - Aged 94, George Quest passed away in his sleep. Henry Quest, who was very attached to his father, spent months in grief. His main advisers had
to run the faction whilst he grieved. It was about this time that Benjamin Skarly started being recognised as a potential leader.
800 A.S. - Henry Quest's mother passed away, Henry Quest handed over his leadership to Benjamin Skarly, who was accepted by the faction's members and began to bring his views to the table almost immediately.
815 A.S. - The faction was radically changed, Benjamin Skarly's views were no longer popular with large quantities of the members. Skarly had militarised many of the faction's views, unfortunately for those who disagreed with him, most of the members went along with his ideals out of fear or loyalty.
818 A.S. - Due to a miscalculation in the size of a reactor component, there was a catastrophic explosion on the Sirius Research and Development's Mobile Research Station, this explosion resulted in the death of almost all of the people on board, including most of the head scientists and leading members of the faction, including Benjamin Skarly, the Mobile Research Station was also destroyed completely. With the death of Benjamin Skarly, the leader at the time, the faction was thrown into turmoil, most of those who survived left the faction to return to family, or just out of the fear that was brought about by such a large scale killing of the faction's members. The few remaining members were without a leader, and attempted to band together until someone would emerge.
About halfway through 818AS an unlikely figure emerged above the rest. A man named James Little, a member of a barely known family in Sirius, managed to band together the few remaining members and set about restoring the faction to its original state.
819 A.S. Part 1 - At the beginning of 819 A.S., Sirius Research and Development was beginning to show signs of recovering, it has only just been restored enough to reveal itself again. The faction is mostly the same as when Benjamin Skarly was is power, although James Little did have some fairly different views to the previous leaders, and has reformed parts of the faction. Present Day First sightings of Sirius Research and Development members in almost a year have only just begun, the faction is back, and will gain power once more.
819 A.S. Part 2 - James Little signed a contract with the Commonwealth, lead by Robert d'Autoine that would supposedly allow both factions to prosper and grow together. Being a new bond, it is uncertain how well this relationship will work.
Base of Operations
It is uncertain whether or not Sirius Research and Development actually has a base of operations as of the present, gatherings of their members have been observed in various bases, but there has not appeared to be a new Head Quarters since the destruction of their Mobile Research Station.
Diplomacy
Sirius Research and Development attempts to keep neutrality with as many factions as possible. This neutrality is important because it allows them to move freely through Sirius, and means that they do not have to spend precious resources on war. The faction often takes a very hostile view to anyone who attempts to disrupt their missions, although they can also be quite forgiving.
