The Catharian Institute of the Sciences began as a little-known Rothana Heavy Engineering subsidiary long before the start of the Clone Wars. Born during the times of Sith Lord Exar Kun's invasion of the Galaxy. Its main purpose was to study Sith designs and incorporate them into Rothana's engineering department. During that time, many small advancements were made in Prototype designs for large or small vessels. All useing formerly unknown Sith Plans found on Korriban and Malachor V. Its lead science committee and Engineering council dissapeared mysteriously during Revan's invasion of the Galaxy using the Star Forge. Cropping up in the world of Rakata Prime to support and maintain Revan's Fleet. However, with his turn back to the Light the Company itself was officially disbanded by the Old Republic. With many of its Engineers and Scientists vanishing into the Unknown Regions with primitive plans of Revan's Star Forge on tow.
Many of the Scientists arrived on the recently discovered World of Cathay, where a mysterious Dark-Jedi enlisted their help in the beginnings of the First Catharian Founding during the proxy-war with a Rogue Old Republic Senator. Coined, the Catharian Institute of Technology. It had been the primary manufacturing order for all of Cathay's Soldiers, public works, and ship designs. Sourcing raw material from local areas such as Cathay herself or the outlying Bogo-Rai and Thearterra. The CIES has a massive manufacturing base stemming from all types of engineering. Radios, armor, equipment. Even food processing lays firmly within the hands of the CIES. Scientific Pursuits such as biomechanical or artificial augmentations have also been extremely common. As it is not alone just a manufacturing base, it is also a highly complex and developed Scientific Mind which seeks to produce the deadliest soldiers, or the most enlightened force-users the Galaxy has ever seen. Very little is known about how they function internally, as almost all information is kept tightly regulated to prevent leaks. As of now, It firmly is within the direct command of the Autocrat of Cathay, and her Senatorial Council. Devoid of all ethical restraints, experiments are carried out inside the CIES's primary institute on Cathay could reveal an even worse intention for the people of the galaxy.
RATIONALE
Created as a means to build a manufacturing base for the Catharian Hegemony, and its main source of Bio-enhancements for its soldiers. During the very first founding of Cathay. The organization fell under the direct command of Xzaien and her council. Entirely loyal to it, it considers all enhancement in any science, or building material as one next step to sapient evolution. Xziaen controls only a small part of what goes on inside of its walls. Simply dictating what the primary research topic is before allowing the autonomous units of the CIES to interpret and produce results.
