Tianshi Bureau Academy

The Tianshi Bureau Academies (TBA) are academic and research institutions established by the Affiliated Hongshan Academy of Sciences of Tianshi Bureau of Great Yan (also known as Hongshan Academy of Sciences, or HAS). They are usually located in scientific developmental districts that have reached a sufficient size or level of development. Thanks to the joint efforts of TBAs across various districts, the HAS is able to sustain rapid research and development in every field of science.

The responsibilities of the TBAs include pursuing various scientific research projects and training more Tianshi for the HAS and the Civilization Band. The title of Tianshi carries a very special meaning in Ancient Yanese, but in Talos-II, a Tianshi is simply an official scientific or technical personnel of the HAS.

The role of a Tianshi carries on the legacy of Yanese traditions and is divided into various disciplines. Unlike the Tianshi of Terra, the Tianshi of Talos-II focus on survival and crises faced by the Civilization Band. These differences are the reason why the TBAs of Talos-II no longer restrict their admissions to disciples of Yanese descent. Anyone who can prove their worth to the HAS will be able to study and conduct scientific research at the TBA.
