Office of Science and Industry

The Office of Science and Industry, or OSI, is a branch of the New California Republic government

Background
Founded in 2275, the OSI is a research and development agency within NCR. Formed after splitting away from the Followers of the Apocalypse, OSI focuses on finding practical applications for knowledge. The group contributes to Republic-funded projects such as the NCR sharecropper farms and hires contractors to assist with projects. OSI has its own financial accounts, separate from the Republic.

They research and develop practical sciences, such as medicine, engineering, and biology. Branched off of the central entity, the east branch is focusing on optimizing the power output of Hoover Dam and other local energy production facilities. They are also tackling the problem of a potential food shortage.
