The Yugumo Science Symposium is located in Asagumo City (The Green Sector) of Port Jiyuu. It was built in YE 43.

In YE 39, part of the Lorath Matriarchy took part in Project Checkout and left the Kagami Galaxy. The effects left the systems of Lor, Nyli System and Hici'emi System turned into Zesuaium. Although the Zesuaium structures could have worth as they were, it was decided that it would be better to seek the worlds returned to their natural state.

In YE 43, a communication between Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko and Xiaah Harr'Ikke "Destiny" Tur'Lista included an invitation to the Lorath Matriarchy to send a team of scientists to join the team from the Yugumo Corporation that had been talked to resolve the effects of Project Checkout. ¹⁾ As a result the Yugumo Science Symposium was formed.

At the time the communications were exchanged, Port Jiyuu was under construction in the Jiyuu System. It was decided to place the Science Symposium there is a fully equipped complex of laboratories, lecture, and meeting facilities where scientists could collaborate on solving Project Checkout. The facilities would also include residences for visiting Lorath scientists.

The collaboration is set to begin in early-YE 43, with hopes for a quick resolution to the effects of Project Checkout. The initiative would be part of the diplomatic agenda of Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko who is seeking election as Imperial Premier of the Yamatai Star Empire.

The Yugumo Science Symposium Complex is an ultra-modern Yamataian designed facility that includes modular laboratories, simulation chambers, and material science archives devoted to the study of Project Checkout. It includes adjoining buildings which include residences for both Yamataian and Lorath scientists, and meeting and conference facilities for them to collaborate. The project is funded by the Yugumo Corporation and the Motoyoshi Clan.

(Main Building, Concept Art)

The Science Symposium can be reached through public transportation on Port Jiyuu.

The complex occupied mostly by employees of the Yugumo Corporation which includes their own scientists, also scientists from the Lorath Matriarchy and other parts of the Yamatai Star Empire.

These Characters are present in the complex:²⁾

Great roleplay opportunities.

• Check-in with scientists on their progress solving Project Checkout.
• Attend a conference or lecture.
• Create a scientist or technician involved in the project.

Maybe true, maybe not.

• Researchers are also looking for ways to prevent any future uses of Project Checkout.
• Material Scientists are looking for ways to harvest some Zesuaium from smaller asteroid objects before the process is reversed.
