Ministry of Science

The Ministry of Science (MoS) is an executive ministerial department of Super Earth. It presumably fills the need for both civil and military scientific research and development, relying on the Helldivers to obtain samples on which to perform experiments on.
The Ministry of Science is also responsible for developing and funding certain experimental infrastructure projects, such as the Terminid Control System, the Terminid Research Initiative, development for Termicide 1.0 and 2.0, and for developing ways to deploy the mysterious Dark Fluid.
== Moradesh Project ==
Scientists on Moradesh were the ones responsible for developing a way to combat the Meridia Supercolony. With the hope being that the "Super weapon" developed would be Liberty's salvation. The details of this project remained highly classified, with the only guarantee being that the Ministry of Science's best minds worked hard to bring this secret weapon to fruition and that it would involve the use of exotic dark fluid.
The Dark Fluid is a form of synthesized exotic matter liberated from the Illuminate following the First Galactic War. In a scientific breakthrough following the opening of a micro-blackhole in the research facility on Moradesh (speaghettifying twelve facility staff before fizzling out), our scientists had just engineered a solution to the Terminid Supercolony on Meridia.
The project would be an unadulterated success as at 15:25 SEST, on June 2nd, 2184, Meridia became the first system to be destroyed by use of Dark Fluid. All Super Destroyers in orbit received the order to make an emergency FTL jump to Super Earth or the nearby Turing system. A gravitational disturbance was confirmed in the Meridia system, with the planet of Meridia, it's sun and every other celestial body in its solar system soon disappearing from the face of the galaxy as a beautiful purple black hole appeared in place of the Supercolony.
Not long after the Moradesh Research Facility was decommissioned following the total exhaustion of all Dark Fluid stores. The tireless scientists who contributed to the "Moradesh Project" were all awarded the Super Citizenship Medal of Freedom.
== Terminid Research Initiative ==
In order to better predict certain previous unforeseeable outcomes when dealing with the Terminids, the Ministry of Science has begun a Terminid Research Initiative.
Terminid evolution is known to accelerate under duress. Therefore, in order to observe potential outcomes, applying controlled duress to the Terminids will be necessary to scientific progress. Thus the Helldivers were ordered to kill over one hundred million Terminids -- which was accomplished in a little over eight hours. Sure enough, this aided the work of Super Earth's scientists considerably, both thanks the efficacious bug-eradication methodologies as well as behavior observed in the field.
One key ancillary finding was that Terminids produce higher quality E-710 when harvested under extreme duress. This finding will guide future E-710 acquisition policy, assuring our access to uninterrupted FTL travel capabilities. Additionally close observation of the Terminids did uncover a new behavior: the construction of spore-producing towers, roughly the size of small skyscrapers.
Whilst the Ministry of Science has deemed that this new behavior to be harmless, it will be closely monitored just in case.
== Trivia ==
* According to a news report highlighting the traitors behind the failure of the Termicide, all scientists in the Ministry of Science are hired under the Ministry of Unity, judging by the logo found in their case files.
