Daystrom Institute
The Daystrom Institute was founded in the 23rd century and named by Dr. Richard Daystrom, the inventor of the duotronic computer who later performed research in artificial sentience, which led him to create the failed multitronic computer. It was both one of the premier scientific organizations in the Federation, and also an organization that was loosely connected to Starfleet, and particularly to Starfleet’s sciences division. It was in the unusual position of being both a department of Starfleet that Starfleet personnel could transfer to and from, and a partially independent organization that also employed civilian scientists and researchers who had no connection to Starfleet. As a result, it was one of the few organizations where Starfleet and civilian personnel regularly worked side by side as colleagues. In this organization, Starfleet personnel remained bound by Starfleet rules and regulations, while civilians were governed by Federation law and the rules governing the Daystrom Institute as a whole.
