[DISPLAY FOUNDATION]

The Encyclopedia Galactica Foundation, more commonly known simply as the Foundation, is neither an organ of the State nor a great commercial enterprise. Established shortly after the signing of the Concord, the Foundation produces an encyclopedia of all knowledge, selling it to eager readers throughout the Thousand Suns. Here is your chance to read a sampling of the innumerable articles Foundation researchers produce each standard year.

* Custom Weapons
* Custom Protection
* A Spacefarer: Introduction to Lingua Terra
