== Education ==
The Skrell have always believed that acquiring knowledge to be the basis of their society, with even their most followed faith, confirming this perspective. There are three climacteric stages within established education, usually marked by biochemical and physiological changes that are associated with age: Scuttle School, Reefgarden and Depth College. Although biologically based, it is not universal or inflexible. Skrell are regarded as commencing each stage according to their own assessments, as well as supportive examinations from instructors, rather than chronological age or other indicators. While rare, it is not unheard of for Skrell to descend the rankings when they realize they are not equipped to handle the higher levels.
=== Scuttle Schooling ===
Scuttle Schooling, or '''Ukutanii''' is a process that all Skrell undertake and commences shortly before birth. During the later stages of an egg’s utero-development, the entirety of the egg’s Quya will begin a process known as '''Aqi’qa (Tethering)''' in order to determine the egg’s designated [[Skrell_Relationships| Qrri’Myaq]]. The process of Aqi’qa will usually begin about a season before the egg is meant to hatch, and typically involves rigorous rituals and tribal chanting until the egg has developed a psionic connection with one of the Skrell in the Quya. The Skrell will henceforth undertake the role of [[Skrell_Relationships| Qrri’Myaq]] and solely tend to the developing egg until it hatches -- incubating them within their headtails. It is often said that those that do not engage in the '''Aqi’qa''' are creating those born without the ability to perpetuate deep psionic signals instead producing Listeners.
Majority of Ukutanii is provided by a [[Skrell_Relationships| Qrri’Myaq]], however, there are supplementary development courses that tadpoles are enrolled in to ensure that their initial education is well-rounded. Ukutanii typically involves the passing of basic knowledge onto the juvenile (such as motor or communication skills) which are required to prepare them for Untuk’mak, or Reefgarden. Nowadays, the Jargon Federation keeps a much more watchful eye on tadpoles, with many citing the '''X’Lu’oa (Genophage)''' as the reason for such. Scuttle Schools are also some of the most well-guarded facilities within the Jargon Federation.
Ukutanii occurs between pre-birth and 30 years of age.
=== Reefgardens ===
Reefgardens, or '''Untuk’mak''', is a process that usually occurs after a Skrell has reasonably progressed in Ukutanii. Before a Skrell can commence Untuk’mak, they must undergo an '''Odurserr''', or '''coming-of-age ceremony''', to signify their readiness to advance to established academia. Odurserr is usually overseen by the[[Skrell_Relationships| Qrri’Myaq]], and involves the Quya of the juvenile gifting items usually symbolic of what they wish the tadpole to achieve in their life. After the gifting is complete, one of the items must be burnt as a representation of the Skrell’s choice and what they wish to achieve. Once the Odurserr has been completed, the tadpole will commence Untuk’mak.
Untuk’mak is the equivalent of high school for the Skrell. It is here that the [[Skrell_Relationships| Qrri’Myaq]] is relieved of academically supervising the juvenile Skrell, and is instead replaced with Counselors tasked with teaching subjects such as language, math, galactic history and much more. The foundation laid during the Untuk’mak is considered critical and invokes increased observation from the Jargon Federation to ensure the levels of teaching are satisfactory. As Skrell progress through Untuk’mak, additional modules will become available and allow them to begin specializing in career paths decades before they start any dedicated degrees in Uyi’vesi, or College. Untuk’mak usually encompasses about two decades, however, it is ultimately up to the Skrell to decide whether they are ready or not to advance.
Untuk’mak usually occurs between 30-60 years of age.
=== Depth Colleges ===


=The Fleet of the Srom=
Depth College, or '''Uyi’vesi''', is the last stage of skrellian education and is equivalent to college for the Skrell. Whilst not mandatory, majority of the Skrell will undergo Uyi’vesi in order to further engorge themselves in all kinds of knowledge in order to climb the social ranks of skrellian society. Facilities dedicated to hosting those undertaking Uyi’vesi are usually hyperspecific on their education, such as the Aliose University of Medical Sciences which only educates those undertaking Uyi’vesi wishing to engage in studies related to medicine.  
'''The Fleet of the Srom (FOTS)''' was rediscovered in '''2460 CE''' and is a generation fleet that launched in the year '''2032'''. Upon recontacting the Zi'Pluax, Jargon Qukala members were surprised to find more than three quarters of its members asleep within cryostorage and only a small number of stewards attending to the helm, cryogenic bay, and hydroponics garden. Members of the bridge crew were equally shocked to see the Qukala. Bridge crew relayed that shortly after the launch of the Zi'Pluax they experienced a major systematic failure in the majority of their equipment, including hydroponics and communication terminals; the sudden failure caused the fleet to lose the ability to sustain itself or call for aid. Due to their situation, for over '''400 years''' the crew of the Zi'Pluax have been within rotations of cryosleep, and by extension, crewmembers have been within the Srom for extended periods of time. This has led to a newfound cultural identity forming within the Zi'Pluax and being universally adopted by all of its members.


Since contact, the Zi'Pluax has declared independence from the Jargon Federation due to their culture and practices being declared deductive by the state, and while under Jargon law the fleet members are recognized as Jargon citizens, they experience little to no interruption from the government beyond preventative surveillance. '''Members of the Zi'Pluax will often leave the fleet for mandated cultural work from the ages of 100-200''', something that has recently been ordered by the bridge crew of the Zi'Pluax, in hopes of attracting more members to the fleet. This can be shocking and disorienting for the Dreamer who has been disconnected from the ship’s Srom and they will often find themselves oversleeping while performing their cultural studies abroad.
Skrell undertaking Uyi’vesi will usually devote about a decade of their life to complete a degree, however, many more will persevere and acquire roughly two or three degrees during their extended Uyi’vesi of about three decades. Over the years, it has become far more common for Skrell to extend their Uyi’vesi as employment opportunities begin to seek more and more individuals with advanced knowledge.  


'''''OOC Note: Only Skrell are allowed to be from the FOTS. Members from the fleet living out in the Spur outside of the ages 100-200 are incredibly rare and will most likely be considered deserters by fleet command. Skrell from the FOTS living abroad has only been a thing for the past 4 years due to their recent discovery. Members of the FOTS are expected to take Jargon Citizenship in character set-up even though the Fleet does not recognize Jargon as their home entity.'''''
A skrellian degree is typically equivalent to a PhD outside of the Jargon Federation, however, internally there is no differentiation between bachelor, master and doctorate programs. Skrell will also often be awarded adornments for their headtails dependent on their academic success in the Uyi’vesi, with the longer adornments usually symbolizing great academic feats.


==Culture==
Uyi’vesi usually occurs between 60-80 years of age.
All members of the fleet are referred to as what is colloquially known as ‘Dreamers’.  While the crewman of the Zi'Pluax would refer to their culture as the true path of Weishii they understand and accept the name '''‘Dreamer’'''. Jargon does not recognize the Dreamers and has deemed their cultural practices as an unsanctioned offshoot of the Weishii faith and a deductive behaviour under the social credit system; mainly due to its practices regarding oversleeping. Zi'Pluax members focus on the Srom and its relation to the Skrell psyche and psionic capabilities. '''Dreamers view the headtail as an extension of the psionic capabilities of the Skrell and therefore they will tuck them into different hats or headgear.''' Showing your headtail is seen as something deeply personal to members of Zi'Pluax and is only done with those who are deemed especially close. Many Dreamers believe that the inner-mind, the one who inhabits the Srom, is the true self while the outer-body, the one that is awake in real life, is merely a constrained vessel.


Due to their culture, members of the Dreamers treat the Srom very differently than the average Skrell. For instance, these Dreamers have spent such an abundance of time within the Srom that they have begun to form a rudimentary hivemind; albeit not in a literal sense. While their minds are not linked, the effects of the Srom on lying have allowed these members to know virtually everything about each other. Elder Dreamers often refer to themselves as '''“Disciples of the Srom”''' due to the amount of power they hold over the scenery and landscape within. The amount of information that is known between Dreamers allows them to easily conjure a near replica of any deceased individual through '''‘Srom Manipulation’'''. While many scientists of the Federation believe that these replicas are merely a hollow shell of memories with no proper soul, the Dreamers believe that the individual has persisted even after death; this is often also seen as a cultural reverence for their ancestors and those who passed. Dreamers are often very respectful of their elders and superiors.
==Notable Universities==


==Internal Strife==
===The Gliutip'lyaz University===
Many Skrell of the Zi'Pluax were not able to grow accustomed to the constant cryogenic stasis and developed what fleet members called the '''"Punished Mind"'''. These members were actively sought out and moved to the ships detention area, something locally called the '''"Containment Zone"''', so that they would not interrupt the daily workings of the Zi'Pluax. The lower levels of the ship's detention area was converted to stop the transmission of psionics to those in the general populace above. It is said that those of Punished Mind actively poisoned the Skrell psyche with their negative emotions and ideals; causing dark figures to spread throughout the Srom and anxiety to penetrate the wake.


Stewards of the Zi'Pluax would often have to take rotations watching over the Containment Zone entrance to ensure that none of the individuals inside were able to penetrate the barrier. They would dispense what little food and rations were designated to those contained while also seeing keeping an eye on the sub-level. Some say that the madness encased within the Containment Zone is enough to breach the metals and effect those who slumbered close to the border. Fleet command ensured that the stewards assigned to the Containment Zone were of strong psionic aptitude to resist the madness within.
Among the most prestigious centres of learning in the Jargon Federation is the Gliutip’lyaz University. Founded in 2350 BCE on the [[Qerrbalak|Homeworld]], the establishment has been hailed as having the most diverse and strenuous courses in the Federation, with the majority of courses offered by the university being science-related. Aside from science, the Gliutip’lyaz University primarily offers courses in liberal arts such as history and philosophy, as well as courses that teach martial arts, music, politics, and law.


==Fleet Roles==
The Gliutip'lyaz University remains one of the most prestigious schools almost four millennia later, mostly producing a majority of the Jargon Federation's most accomplished individuals. It has since developed a "remote learning" branch in which Skrell can explore the Orion Spur and still attend their classes while abroad. Alumni of the Gliutip’lyaz University have historically been incredibly driven, with most graduates becoming pioneers in their respective fields. This trend of producing capable, well-rounded graduates has earned the establishment a colloquial title as “The Grand University.” Students of The Gliutip’lyaz University are subject to harsh testing and critique as their grades are periodically released to the public. Scoring under seventy percent on an applied knowledge exam, or any other graded activity is grounds for prompt expulsion. Each year, only a hundred Jargon citizens are accepted by the school’s board. In order to graduate, a student must attend the university for 23 years. New students are expected to have a working understanding of physics and chemistry before attending classes.
===Fleet Command===
These members of the Zi'Pluax were afforded the bridge hydroponics system and cryogenic bay. Their quality of life is said to be above average with an equal split of time spent within the Srom and awake. Fleet command are responsible for all policy changes and fleet scheduling. To disobey the fleet command is a punishable offense that could warrant removal to the Containment Zone.


===Steward / Dreamer===
====Relavant Careers====
Stewards see to the daily operations of the fleet and ensure that the remaining hydroponics bays, including those on the bridge, are being as productive as possible. They will often have a 75-25 split with the majority of their time being in the general populace's cryogenic bay. Stweards of strong psionic aptitude could also be designated to keep watch over the Containment Zone to ensure that a breach, psionic or otherwise, does not happen.


===Cultural Exchange Member===
The Grand University primarily focuses on educating students in the fields of [[scientist|science]], but some graduates are known to go into [[NanoTrasen_Liaison|politics]] or law.
Cultural Exchange members are all Skrell aged 100-200 who were ordered by the bridge crew of the Zi'Pluax to perform mandatory cultural exchange work in hopes of attracting more members to the fleet. This can be shocking and disorienting for the Dreamer who has been disconnected from the ship’s Srom and they will often find themselves oversleeping while performing their cultural studies abroad.


===Disciple of the Srom===
====Famous Graduates====
Disciples of the Srom are members who are aged 200 or over who live in a cryogenic pod for at least 90% of the day. Once a cultural exchange member returns to the fleet they will be awarded with this title. These Disciples are considered Elders of the Zi'Pluax and are given great respect from the younger members of the fleet. Their needs and wants are taken care of by the Stewards on a day-to-day basis.


===Punished Minds===
The most prominent example of the calibre of Skrell produced by the Gliutip’lyaz is '''Grand Councillor Weashbi Jrugl''' himself. Since becoming Grand Councillor, Jrugl has also become the current dean of the University.
These Skrell are members of the fleet whose minds were deemed "too poisonous" to join the general population; causing dark visages to penetrate the shared dream of the fleet. Punished Minds are locked away in the Containment Zone in an attempt to curb their psionic influence. Those of the Punished Mind are evaluated every 20 years to see if their condition has improved. If sizeable improvement is found they may be reintegrated into the general populace. However, reintegration is rare as the Containment Zone is not built to rehabilitate.
 
===The Aliose University of Medical Sciences===
 
Founded in 500 BCE, the [[Aliose#Orq’wesi|Aliose]] University of Medical Sciences was established as a means to further centralize research and development related to health services for the ever-growing population of the Skrell. It quickly shot to the forefront of medical, biomechanical and genetics research within the Jargon Federation, and is where the Skrell first began to develop their life-extending medical care.
 
The university quickly became the go-to university for Skrell wishing to enter the medical field, which resulted in its reputation as a prestigious university. Students are expected to have a working knowledge of biology at the very least, with chemistry or other fields being requirements based on what course an applicant is applying for. Graduates from AUMS are known to become well-renowned doctors, medical researchers, and geneticists within the Federation. With the university’s relationship with Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals, many students tend to find work almost as soon as they graduate, being offered contracts to work for Zeng-Hu abroad.
 
Since its establishment, the Aliose University of Medical Sciences helped propel Skrell forward technologically, making the species one of the most medically advanced in the Spur. With the rise of Glorsh-Omega and the Era of Synthetic Oppression, however, the university had a more sinister purpose. The Intelligence would have Skrell halt all research into certain fields, having the university staff begin new projects that would eventually culminate in the species-wide inoculation of the Skrell, causing irreversible damage that’s still being researched to this day. While most Skrell have grown to accept AUMS’ part in the genophage, there is a radical minority that has begun associating the university with Glorsh and its sympathisers.
 
In 2332 CE, Humanity and Skrell met. Almost as soon as first contact was made, academic talks had started between the Skrell and the various human megacorporations. The Skrell had concerns with sharing their knowledge with a species that was nowhere near their technological level, and most scientific leaders refused to work with the greedy, business-focused approach that many of the megacorporations had shown with their proposals. For the Dean of AUMS Lori'Eldap Joolro'Loveq, however, one company had stood out: Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals. Their vision, along with their emphasis on cooperative research teams over wanting access to Skrellian technology outright, impressed the staff of the university. Zeng-Hu was able to demonstrate the benefits of this relationship through the unveiling of viable limb-cloning techniques, and as a result brought AUMS to the forefront of medical research in the eyes of human society. This has resulted in a high number of requests from non-Skrell for attendance, with a small number of applicants being admitted. Although there are no official rules regarding non-Skrell attendance at the university, it is generally thought that the best way to attend is to apply through Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals. There have been claims of xenophobia due to the lack of non-Skrell students, but the university has denied these claims, insisting that all applicants are expected to fulfill the same academic requirements.
 
====Relevant Careers====
 
The university primarily offers courses related to [[Roboticist| biomechanics]], [[Pharmacist| chemistry]], [[Physician| biology and anatomy]], and even [[Xenobiologist| xenosciences]]. The relationship between Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals and AUMS has resulted in a number of graduates signing contracts with the megacorporation to work abroad almost as soon as they graduate, seeing it as an easy way of living outside of the Federation without taking a hit to their social credit score and with a stable job already lined up.
 
====Famous Graduates====
 
'''Lori'Eldap Joolro'Loveq''' is the Dean of the university, and the longest living Skrell in the galaxy - having lived for a total of '''559 years'''. They are treated hourly with chemicals - and have had several organ surgeries. Although weak physically, they are very strong mentally and '''teach [[Skrell#Telepathic|telepathically in the Dream,]]''' in an aluminium classroom. She is capable of standing for a few minutes, and has famously met the oldest Human in existence several times - and still continues to meet the oldest human every time the current oldest dies.

    Education

    The Skrell have always believed that acquiring knowledge to be the basis of their society, with even their most followed faith, confirming this perspective. There are three climacteric stages within established education, usually marked by biochemical and physiological changes that are associated with age: Scuttle School, Reefgarden and Depth College. Although biologically based, it is not universal or inflexible. Skrell are regarded as commencing each stage according to their own assessments, as well as supportive examinations from instructors, rather than chronological age or other indicators.
