Deep Science
Deep Science is a Terran organization dedicated to study and research concerning the Voids. After the Valkyrie update it is revealed that Deep Science is researching and producing ships with integrated Khador Drives like the Cronus. Its headquarters is located in the orbit of Kothar, in the Beidan System which can only be accessed by a Khador Drive, while Thynome, in the system, became Keith T. Maxwell's home for a while.
Deep Science's primary scientist and leader is assumed to be Carla Paolini.
Both the Deep Science stations have their own unique soundtrack. This was not the case before the Supernova expansion as they had the normal Terrran sound track.
In GoF3 , it was revealed that Deep Science has became an independent faction that holds no political or racial allegiances. They have been branded as a terrorist group by several governments due to the fact that they often experiment their creations in conflict zones and pirate hot spots in order to avoid prosecution.
Stations
Deep Science holds these stations as research bases:
- Kothar
- This station is the current HQ and the ships factory. Deep Science ships can be bought only at this station. This station is sometimes called the "iStation", poking fun at its resemblance to Apple products with the white and overall sleek theme. It says DEEP SCIENCE on the right side of the station.
