'Vadum Institute of Research

==History==
The 'Vadum Institute of Research, founded in the year 2557, was created to improve the technology. Because the Prophets of the former Covenant were the only ones to develop technology, much of the other species were left the inability to repair technology. Therefore, a small group of Sangheili along with some Hugarok, started the VIR. They were one of the first, and soon more would follow. Others focused on examining equipment that is used commonly. Soon, the economy began to restore. By 2559, the VIR had several highly trained mechanics in service, training anyone who wishes to serve.
