Advanced Theoretical Technologies Unit

The Advanced theoretical Technologies unit was formed in 2304 by Starfleet Command's Engineering Branch. The unit consists of a select number of starfleet engineers that show exceptional design and deductive reasoning skills. They are mandated to continue to push the forward envelope of Technology already in use by the federation, without the same bureaucratic limitations placed upon the Engineers responsible for maintaining and advancing the bulk of Starfleet Technology.

They are varied in their disciplines and backgrounds, although each is considered an indespensible resource for the fleet.

Although originally chartered only to advance existing technologies, thier role was expanded when it was discovered that Rodrigo Doenitz had employed those ATTU members remaining within his dictatorial Federation, to begin to develop new weapons, and to unlock the sectrets of ancient recovered alien artifacts, in the hopes of turning the civil war.

One such member was Captain Zachary Falthgood, who discovered the incredibly powerful Falthgood Devices.

The 52nd Fleet was forced to create their own ATTU in the hopes of maintaining the balance of power or gaining a distinct advantage over the Doenitz Loyalist forces. Eventually Falthgood defected to the 52nd Fleet bringing with him the knowledge of the Falthgood Devices.

Currently there are two active ATTU officers serving in the 52nd fleet. The first is Commander ZZt, currently assigned to Starbase Geneva. The Second is Lt. Commander Matthew McLaren, currently serving aboard the USS Boudicca.
