Changes: Foundation

Revision as of 14:03, 12 September 2023

The Foundation was an organisation proposed by Hari Seldon to safeguard the knowledge of civilization by creating the Encyclopedia Galactica. As Hari had predicted the fall of the Galactic Empire through the study of Psychohistory, he also advocated for the creation of the Foundation, a group whose goal would be to safeguard humanity's knowledge and sciences to allow society to be rebuilt after the fall.

Following the destruction of the Star Bridge, Hari and his followers were exiled to the planet Terminus, where they established a colony and began working on preserving humanity's knowledge.

As time goes by, the Foundation with its assembled scientists were able to not only totally preserve the essentials of humanity's knowledge and sciences from loss, and thus prevent galactic regression into ignorant barbarism, despite aborting development of the Encyclopedia Galactica, but actually advance them to a level that is above the Empire, such as the whisper-ships with its jumpdrive that is capable of executing space jumps without the assistance of Spacers - a technology (or technique) that is not yet achieved by the Empire, potentially attracting itself to become a target of the Empire and other parties within the periphery in the future.

The current director of the Foundation in season 2 is Ser Sermak.

Future

From the books of Issac Asimov. The premise for the creation of the Encyclopedia Galactica was not meant to be the primary objective of Hari Seldon's plan. Instead, the assembled scientists, its preserved knowledge and sciences, and the Foundation are destined to form the next galactic hegemon, a successor to the Galactic Empire. With Terminus to act as the new capital of the galaxy after humanity's eventual exit from regression and stagnation.
