Unused Content The following page contains content that is not normally seen in FTL13. The reason this page is outdated is: "Ship not in rotation."

A.K.A. "R&D", "Research", "Science", "Toxins", "The Plasma Fire", "The Big Hole in the Station". Located south of the HoP's Office, Science access is required to enter the main hallway.

Facilities

The Research Department consists of the following facilities:

• R&D Lab
• Robotics
• Toxins Laboratories
• Xenobiology
• Experimental Lab
• Server Room
• Research Director's Office
• Security Post
• Testing Lab

Under the authority of the Research Director, the Research Division is usually one of the first things to erupt in flames, if not blow up outright.

Other Areas

Research Division also comes with a couple of storage areas, a supervisor's office, and other areas not available to regular Scientists.

The Research Department consists of the following facilities:

• R&D Lab
• Robotics
• Toxins Laboratories
• Xenobiology
• Experimental Lab
• Server Room
• Research Director's Office
• Security Post
• Testing Lab

Under the authority of the Research Director, the Research Division is usually one of the first things to erupt in flames, if not blow up outright. Otherwise you'll probably see slimes start oozing out of Xenobiology into the hallway
