===AI Governing Dampening Substation===
*Stop AI utilities from becoming self-aware AI
*ATIC engineers are careful about the emergence of consciousness in AI, the ethics and legal implications of the subordination of an enslaved sapient and fear of creating a powerful self-aware entity with the will to control or destroy biological life.
*Collapse of quantum wave functions housed within the microtubules of brain organoids connecting neural networks can cause consciousness to emerge in a system.
*The design of sapience governors using quantum field cages to reinforce time crystals within organoid microtubules, preventing quantum field collapse.
===Androgynoid===

The public did not agree with this choice and he was roundly mocked across all news outlets and shortly after, voted out of office.
*Ruffles of an Atopian Count’s formal dress

*Tirwan SQ34117 – puffball sleeves, orange sashes – escapism from fear and terror
*Palace deliberately draws connections with the past in their dress and shows a continuation of the line of the Shah – ceremonial tunic is essentially a replica of the 9th Shah’s accession tunic, with orchids to show the Shah’s youth at accession and circles of thorns to represent the royal family’s suffering. Shah’s outfit for presenting the princex includes loose pants and sandals of a style with Atopian peasants. The Shah wears purple, which suggests the Minak-Atopian society and is a stand against the government.
*SQ34117 – Muezzin announces a fashion range called MA society collection “Muezzin Allowed”, featuring the colour purple.

[[Category:ATIC]]
===ATIC – Atopian Traxinian Interstellar Consociation===
*A pan-nation unifying body (similar to the UN) including Atopia, Traxiniar and eight other smaller planets, some who joined after Atopian coercion and some for protection from Atopia and Minak
*Capital planet is Atopia
*SQ33681 - Atopia ejected the Minak and Traxinian ambassadors (Fhaal Niis and Zazi Micht) and broke off all trade relations. Minak and Traxinia responded in kind. All three nations then built up visible offensive capabilities at strategic locations on their planets - it is debated who initiated which arms race and in what order, but it is agreed that the outcome was a Cold War stalemate between all sides. All three nations suffered under this arrangement
*ATIC was formed in SQ33683 following a long period of interplanetary trading and cooperation between Atopia, Traxiniar and Minak that started to break down around SQ33400. This led to amilitary intervention by Minak following a trade dispute that gradually escalated into a Cold War between all three sides. In SQ33682 the great Atopia leader Zadi Gorda proposed a three-way truce. All three nations were being hit hard by the continuation of the war and this was well accepted on all sides. But neither Atopia nor Minak were willing to be second in the acronym, so Minak leader Zhalwat Ghosz cut off negotiations and formed the Minak Guild of Solidarity.
*Atopia officially maintains all members of ATIC are equal, but this is blatantly false – ATIC is a propaganda machine for Atopia
*Everyone who doesn’t work for ATIC uses Atopia and ATIC interchangeably
*ATIC space consists of Subsectors A.1 – A.5
*ATIC headquarters
**In Tirwan
**Contains the Office For Mundane Operations
**Atopian AI Civic Monitoring Authority – catalogues everyone’s movements.
*ATIC correspondents:
**Sala Dino – fashion
**Drinak Pletzic - politics
===ATICB – ATIC Botany department===
*Responsible for the mission to Norris to study its fauna – set off to establish a research station for locales BST-22 and BSS-22 in SQ34117 - to investigate the result of scans taken four quarters ago that revealed the possibility of interesting new fauna that could have medicinal applications. Crew of 20, take 6 SQs to get there, won’t expect results for at least 20Sqs.
*Responsible for all botanical knowledge
*ATIC botany department – releases reports of their most desired interstellar flora and fauna
*Has been going for decquarters by SQ34117, having tested all life forms and geological substances available in the vicinity of Atopia and all areas surrounding ATIC territories. Has eliminated several common yet fatal diseases, as well as creating palliatives to help reduce the impact of many, many others. This has resulted in a stark increase in the average LifeXQs and even more importantly the minimum LifeXQs for an ATIC citizen.
*Remote Botany – a department in ATICB, created around SQ34107, to use existing equipment and skillsets and our research skills, but also draw on the intergalactic travel skills of the Space Corps and develop new capabilities to investigate outside of Atopia.
*Their research has led to the creation of a large number of artificial substrates – including nutrient rich quartz (soil replacement) and horticultural saline (pink liquid). These can be harmful to bird and animal life, so be careful of pets.
*Does research in the endangered Kayna bird and developed cures or vaccines for a lot of the diseases that affect them.
===ATIC Governor===
*Has never been elected from a planet other than Atopia (not even Traxiniar)
===ATIC Guard===
*Entrance exams (one in Tirwan) – there is a maximum number of times you can take them
===ATIC armies===
*Sponsored by Calcygon
===ATIC officer===
*Exams to qualify
===ATIC news===
*News programme
*Studio is in Tirwan
*Hosts ‘Chat With Misi Strach’ – A talk show that is awarded Cultural Show of the Year in SQ34117
*Part of ATIC Media along with sister channel ATIC Sports

**Minak first encountered the Atopians when the Atopians landed ships on Minak and started trading for rare minerals only available on Minak – trade was forced when Minak later became reluctant
**A battle for Minak freedom followed. Minak displaced the Atopian invaders and stole their space-faring technology, developing it to become the second most pre-eminent spacefaring nation
**Harbour great hostility towards Atopia, culminating in a decades-long war – officially ended with a treaty that led to the founding of ATIC in SQ33683 – unofficially, hostilities continue to bubble along
