 +Originally the departments of the //SSS// fall into two branches: Gakuin and Tanken. Gakuin refers to 'Academics', and Tanken refers to 
 +Expeditions. Towards the end of [[timeline:ye_31]] the //SSS// restructured itself, branching the Tanken efforts into three separate subgroups. 
  
-==== Tanken ====+==== Gakuin (Academics) ==== 
 +The Gakuin branch handles the educational and academic work of the SSS. This branch operates the [[faction:yamatai:sss:library|Library]] project, the [[faction:yamatai:sss:academy|Academy]], as well as all static, planet-based research stations on known and stable worlds. 
  
-This is the expeditionary portion of the //SSS//. Tanken has three subgroups: +=== Areas of Study === 
- +The //SSS// Gakuin branch offers degree courses and performs research in the following areas. Additional fields of study may be added in the future.
-=== Hara (Field) === +
-The Hara portion of Tanken is charged with conducting expeditions in the field. A subgroup in Hara is responsible for acquiring the equipment for performing independent field studies. It plans to acquire transportation, supplies (field equipment, such as shelters, environmental equipment, sensors, provisions, etc) and support personnel.

-=== Riezon (Liaison) === +
-This portion of Tanken supplies scientific liaison specialists for assignment on [[stararmy:start]] vessels. These personnels are granted honorary rank of [[stararmy:ranks:santo_juni]] or higher depending on their level of expertise. As such they are  answerable to the authorities on each vessel.
