Ticonderan Technical Institute

Dain Kordridge founded this in Dowaine to form an economic triangle with the mining center Belaine and industrial center Telaine. It is the Communist Web`s leader in computer sciences, especially networking technology; Ticondera was the first nation to be linked to a computer network that would become the OmniNet in 32 WR. TTI was also critical to the early communist space program, including the development of a satelliete network in Light and LDGACANAP colonies. The Scandians took over when a large communist fleet was born, but the early work was done here, including valuable work in space construction theory (people today joke that Communist fighter bases are better than Communist fighters). The heritage of the Institute from this program is its own deep space telescope. The abbreviation`s similiarity to the Tasnican Institute of Technology is probably intentional; in the early days several "typoes" accidentally sent valuable scientific documents to Ticondera instead of Tasnica, where they remain today. Today TTI is one of the leading college of the Communist Web for the pursuit of technological and mathematical graduate degrees. TTI disciplines are more esoteric than those taught at the Scandian universities, and handily defeats them both in computer science, higher mathematics, and quantum physics, although overlap is inevitable. To most perspective students the choice usually comes down to national pride.
