The Far-Future Institute is one of the factions available to choose in TerraGenesis, and was the fifth faction to be added to the game.

> *Founded by scientists, futurists, inventors and philanthropists, the Far-Future Institute is an international society dedicated to reshaping humanity's future through cutting-edge science. The FFI envisions a world beyond petty corporations, religions, and governments, a world where policy is guided by science, where expertise is king, and where even the sky isn't the limit for long.*

The FFI and UNSA are fundamentally and diametrically opposed to the Horizon Corporation on the issue of values, as shown on the Faction event Open Scource.

In the early decades of space exploration, the most powerful spacefaring factions all vied to secure the expertise of humanity's best and brightest. While many notable geniuses chose their allegiance based on personal ideologies, some of Earth's most unique minds refused to be tied down, working as contractors on a limited basis only. These independent thinkers viewed the goals of profiteering, preservation, population spread and sheer transformation as ideological impediments to true scientific discovery, however noble they might be. One way or another, most of these mavericks have ended up as members of the Far-Future Institute.

Founded by a group of scientists, futurists, inventors, and philanthropists at the darkest moment of the Sundering, the FFI is an international society dedicated to reshaping humanity's future through the pursuit and application of bleeding-edge science, and securing humanity's destiny against any future extinction-level events. Very few Nobel laureates or MacArthur Fellows in the last 150 years have been unconnected to the FFI, and almost all of the greatest scientific and engineering achievements in that time have been spearheaded by FFI members.

While there exist no direct rivals to the FFI's cause, the growth of this forward-thinking faction has ruffled the feathers of the leaders who were once privileged to call upon its members' unique wisdom. But after a century of breakthrough discoveries, world-changing inventions, and colossal construction projects, the FFI is no longer satisfied to simply advise the splintered factions of humanity as they bicker amongst themselves. The Far-Future Institute envisions a world beyond petty corporations, religions, and governments, a world where policy is guided by science, where reason is king, and where even the sky isn't the limit for long. And under their ambitious new director, Keahi Malae, the FFI stands poised to take the reigns of humanity's future once and for all.
