Templar Technical Institute

From Twilight Templars Wiki

A City in its own right, the Templar Technical Institute, devoted more towards the Technology of preserving balance than the act itself. The institute houses several hangers where ships, tanks, and other devices are built and repaired, a central archive that houses dozens of technical manuals, schematics and even a backup copy of the Orders History.

Admission to the institute is open to all members of the Remsian Republic, but a good deal of it was off limits, and had strict rules much like the main temple. There were rumors of a section of the institute being off limits to all but the most senior members of the Republic. Rumors circulate that say its everything from a lab where they conduct secret research, to a top secret bunker where last reserves for defense, and the true secrets of the Templars were stored, but there was no basis of this in fact. People can visit the Hall of Technology that houses holographic readouts of all the Templar technical advancements.

The Institute branched out into dozens of other structures, residential facilities, recreational facilities, Commercial and industrial facilities. The entire institute acts as a city, with its own power and financial infrastructure, people live and work within the boundaries of the city of itself.
