Greenwood Energy Initiative

The Greenwood Energy Initiative, was implemented in 2401 after Christopher Greenwood made the election promises of putting more of an effort into combating the dilithium shortage crisis.
With the announcement of the dilithium shortage in the 2370's, the Federation had previously dedicated much of it's resources to implement FTL Drives into their existing systems as a way to minimize the crisis when it supposedly hits in the 2430's. However, after the disastrous test drive of the USS Valiant in 2400-2401, the previous Presidential holders have had to own up to a lack of effort. Taking officers and civilians alike from several disciplines and either reinventing their propulsion technology or improving on the FTL, this was his plan to complete in the next 12 years.
In 2403 due to possible Dominion Threats the initiative was put on hold, continuing only with Jasmine Dorr's Rubidium plan.
*Head of Initiative: Zahir al-Khalid generally worked as a go-between the director and the President, Zahir has final say on all things, however, leaves most of the paper work and efforts to those below him and has the direct contact to the President.
*Project Director: As project director, they organized the department heads going over design ideas, applications and paper work to be approved for creation by Zahir/Greenwood. They mostly sit behind a desk and will frequently visit the labs. The director will host daily meetings between themselves and department heads to keep updated on progress. This position was held by Cathasach Una until his death in 2403.
*Engineering Director: Generally reports to director at daily meetings with progress from the engineering department. Controls all aspects of his division in the labs.
*Research and Development Director: Generally reports to the director at daily meetings with progress from the research and development department. Controls all aspects of the division in the labs. In R&D, the leader is responsible for the background information and practical applications of theories from other departments and ensuring they are able to be realized. This position was once held by Hayden Liu until the program was shut down in 2403.
**Scientist - Jasmine Dorr (Bioengineering)
**Pilot - Tobias al-Khalid (Helmsmenship)
*Science Director: Generally reports to durector at daily meetings with progress from the science department. Controls all aspects of their division in the labs. As head of science, they control other variables that may hinder or help the engineering development of a more efficient warp system. This position was previously held by Bryce Wren who left to work in the temporal department.
*Outside Consultants: Panyin Ta'bar, as the Subverta to her people and the holders of the original FTL technology, the Daean people are often consultants on previous attempts and engineering endeavours.
