The '''Capellan Science Foundation''' is the premier scientific research and development organization in the [[Capellan Confederation]].

==Overview==
Founded in [[2818]] as a clearinghouse for government-funded research and development projects during the final years of the [[Second Succession War]], the Capellan Science Foundation was created to oversee the preservation and advancement of the Confederation's declining military technology base, most notably through the recovery and research into [[Star League era]] [[LosTech]].

As with the Confederation as a whole, the Capellan Science Foundation suffered a heavy blow due to the [[Fourth Succession War]], with both the loss of its headquarters on Tikonov and the considerable resources expended to hurriedly reverse engineer and manufacture the original flawed [[Triple Strength Myomer]] for [[Chancellor]] [[Maximilian Liao]].<ref name=HHL-44>''Handbook: House Liao'', p. 44: "History of the Nation - Fourth Succession War - Intruder's Communion"</ref> In the wake of that conflict the CSF relocated to [[Capella]] and [[Romano Liao]] shifted its focus almost completely from discovery to deciphering the [[Helm Memory Core]]. Even with additional assistance from the [[Free Worlds League]] and [[Word of Blake]] after the initial [[Clan Invasion]], the Capellan Science Foundation was responsible for the bulk of the Star League technology employed by Capellan manufactures during the ''[[Xin Sheng]]'' period.<ref name=HHL-120/>

In [[3058]] Chancellor [[Sun-Tzu Liao]] moved the Capellan Science Foundation to new ultramodern facilities near Capella Prime and charged them with spearheading several research projects, most notably the ''[[Yu Huang]]'' BattleMech and the ''[[Feng Huang]]''-class [[WarShip]].<ref name=HHL-120/> While its funding would decrease during the desperation of the [[Word of Blake]] [[Jihad]], the CSF continued to run a large number of research and development projects, most often in partnership with [[Ceres Metals]] facilities across the Confederation starting [[3076]].<ref name=XTROL-1>''Experimental Technical Readout: Liao'', p. 1: "Introduction"</ref> As the [[CCAF]] finally began to capture increasing volumes of [[Clan]]-Tech in the wake of [[Operation SCOUR]], the CSF received the lion's share of this salvage and was charged with research and reverse engineering of the advanced systems of the invaders as well.<ref name=XTROL-12>''Experimental Technical Readout: Liao'', p. 12: "CMT-3TV Trokia Viktor"</ref>
