Prior to the founding of the Terran Consortium, there were several Archologies built in remote areas of Earth by various organizations focused on Research and Development. Thse collectives became a foundation of rapid technological and engineering advancements that helped to sustain the MegaCorporations push towards founding the Terran Consortium. These Archologies are considered neutral territory by the MegaCorporations. Each Archology is granted one advisory chair within The Directorate.
