The Anthenaeum

The Galactic Union Sigma Research institute more commonly referred to as The Anthenaeum, is a research institute operated by the Galactic Union. 
== Main mission ==
== SITE Blue ==
The main research facility within the Anthenaeum, with researching ranging from biology to temporal science.
== SITE White ==
The medical facility.
== SITE Red ==
Weapons Research.
== SITE Brown ==
Central information hub (library)
== SITE Black ==
A secretive section of the Anthenaeum that contains dangerous and as of yet not understood artefacts and specimens. SITE Black is off limits to non-anthenaeum personnel, and only those with a clearance level of 6 or above are permitted to work in this area. 
SITE Black contains objects, beings and unexplained entities that are as of yet, poorly understood. They are kept contained for the safety of the galaxy, and are classified with a number and a small description.
There are an unknown number of subjects within SITE Black, however, some notable subjects include:
* Subject 004 - The Doctor
* Subject 101 - The PADD of Death
* Subject 104 - The Room
* Subject 108 - Shy
* Subject 142 - Copycat
* Subject 176 - Shadow puppets
* Subject 203 - Time capsule
* Subject 401 - The Girl
Each Subject is given a classification depending on the danger of it, and the difficulty of containing it. 
There are a number of theories as to the origin of these subjects, and whether they are related to each other. 
== Structure ==
The Anthenaeum is led by a council of scientists and officers seperate from the Galactic Union. Although the Union funds the Anthenaeum, they have given them virtual autonomy, in order to prevent politicising and weaponising research carried out here. The NSO has a more hands on approach, and often works with the Anthenaeum or sometimes leads operations with the Anthenaeum providing support. 
=== Council ===
A 10 person council made up of individually appointed department leaders and top scientists. The Council has direct jurisdiction over all aspects of the Anthenaeum, aside from SITE Black (see below)
=== Administrator ===
An individual elected from the 10 person council to precide over meetings of the council and oversee research in the Anthenaeum. Acts as a deputy to the Director.
=== Director ===
Nominated by the council with approval needed from the Administrator and the President of the Galactic Union. They decide what to prioritise and implement decisions made by the council. They are effectively the CEO of the Anthenaeum and ensure that there is enough funding for projects and ensure the integrity of the entire organisation. They do not take an active role in the research that the Anthenaeum carries out, with this job falling to the Administrator.
=== SITE Black administration ===
While they are a part of the Anthenaeum as a whole, SITE Black, due to the nature of their work, is run seperately from the rest of the Anthenaeum. A top secret council of 5 individuals oversee SITE Black research and containment, and possess a higher clearence level than the actual main council of the Anthenaeum. Like the rest of the Anthenaeum, SITE Black has an administrator, but this post rotates amongst the five council members periodically.
