The Ember Foundation is a small organization of scientists, engineers, and explorers. They are dedicated to finding new and efficient ways to extract raw resources, and sustainable energy. It was founded with the desire, or perhaps even need, to exploit resources on the frontier and uninhabitable planets, either inhospitable to life, or with aggressive fauna/flora. It was founded in YE 40.
The Foundation was created by Sam Ember along with her friend Jake Dreckler. Its purpose is to find new and inventive ways to seize resources from otherwise inhospitable locations, where traditional methods would either be too expensive, too dangerous, or just too impractical.
The Ember Foundation is relatively new, being created in YE 40. They saw a small amount of growth as they began to design and prototype variations of pre-existing technology to gain further funding whilst creating their own project in the background. The Orbital Drop Self-Deploying Base or O.D.S.D.B., or rather the “Planet Cracker” as the development team affectionately refer to it, is their first and currently only major project that is still currently in development. If it should succeed, not only will they stand to gain significant funding, but be able to use their own invention to collect what they would otherwise need to buy.

Their HQ is a small space station orbiting Crystaria in the Sanctum Star System. Due to the small size of the organization, the headquarters has a mix of administration, engineering and research areas.
The space station is of a modular design, allowing for new structures to be attached as the station expands. It's crew capacity is only around 50. It is not designed as a habitation station, as most of the space is dedicated for R&D, particular one large spacious section that is designed to carry the behemoth that is ODSDB. Space Station Nova carries light defenses, enough to fend off one or two pirate ships, but unable to repel any dedicated attacks. The station lacks any kind of self-destruct button, or particularly large red shiny buttons.
Most facilities are located within the headquarters, due to the start-up nature of the organization, with the exception of temporary outposts. Most facilities are dedicated towards engineering in order to help research and construction of their major projects. Several smaller facilities are dedicated towards surveying distant worlds.
None yet, as the Foundation has only recently been created.
