Departments[]
Department of Exostrider Engineering[]
A department dedicated to the study and research of the giant humanoid mech known as Exostrider. Known for its radical approach, the department's research efforts have seen translational applications in fields such as vehicle and humanoid mech engineering, Tacetite weaponry, and strategic equipment development. The department has two major divisions: the Division of Resonator-Mech Synchronization and the Division of Tactical Development.
Divisions[]
- Division of Resonator-Mech Synchronization
Rabelle College[]
Also known as Synchronist College, the Rabelle College is named after Mr. Rabelle, the pioneer of Rabelle's Curve - the now-standardised scale for characterising a Resonator's frequency pattern. With a pedagogy rooted in empirical data and quantitative research, the College is dedicated to discovering and cultivating future Synchronists. In addition to general education, the College runs the Synchronist Development Program, operating independently of all departments and disciplines. All quasi-Synchronists are granted unrestricted access to the campus's facilities.
Divisions[]
- Division of Ancient Studies
- Division of Synchronization Training

Department of Light Energy Sciences[]
This department focuses on the conversion of the light energy from the Reactor Drive for industrial production and biological cycling. The department has two academic divisions: the Division of Light Array Engineering and the Division of Ecology Conservation. Here houses the Academy's largest solis lens and largest Resonance Nexus - Telesto Lens. From the centre of the department, the Telesto Lens incessantly converts the light energy emanating from the Reactor Drive to energy supply and powers the operation of all facilities on the campus.

- Division of Light Engineering
- Division of Ecology Conservation
Department of Voidmatters[]
An academic organisation established strategically in response to the threat of Void Storms, this department is tasked with their monitoring and prevention. Its main building is the Academy's tallest signal tower, at the top of which the central observatory can be found. Researchers here carry the vital mission of investigating the origins and mechanisms of Void Storms, while developing advanced communication and spatial anchoring technologies designed for the extreme environments within a Void Storm and beyond the Stridergate. These innovations enable the transdimensional localisation of the Exostrider and real-time monitoring of Synchronists' vitals.
Divisions[]
- Division of Spatial Warping
