Foundation for Xenological Studies

On the surface, its an organization dedicated to studying cultural aspects of known alien civilizations, founded on May 26th, 2017. This is merely a front for the Foundation's true work, which is focused more on the unknown then the known. The FXS keeps extensive records of technological artifacts which have been located, appropriates ones that have not been seen before, and covertly encourages individuals who have been allowed to keep their artifacts to use them in the hope that they will uncover new functionalities. The FXS cooperates with ArcXen on the subject of Artifacts and Locations. FXS is funded primarily by private benefactors, the identities of whom are a closely-guarded secret. FXS is the successor to several previous organizations, both government and private, dating back to at least the late 1940s.
