Militarily, Albadia IV is known for its combat engineers (many of whom have experience working in the mines) and its riflemen (many of whom grew up on the farms and supplemented their food-stores through hunting). A good-natured rivalry exists between the two groups.J.B. Britt Agricultural and Mechanical University: JBBAMU is Albadia IV's only center of higher learning. It provides students with a reasonable liberal arts education, but really focuses on producing agronomists and engineers.Orbital Shipyard: An orbital shipyard circles Albadia IV. It is controlled by an interstellar government of which Albadia IV is part. There is some tension between the imperial citizens that work the shipyard and those native to Albadia IV. Still, quite a few graduates of JBBAMU aspire to engineering jobs with the shipyardGenTech: GenTech is a megacorp that maintains a small facility on Albadia IV. The Albadia IV location is mostly interested in producing crops capable of thriving in the planet's rocky soil; but also offers genetic modification to humans as well. This does not sit well with the locals who are mostly descended from a conservative, religious group. Still, some of those who take jobs with the imperial government are sent there for modification to make them better suited to their new jobs. At present, GenTech offers a zero/low-gravity modification for shipyard workers; and a "hob-mod" for colonization of a nearby agri-world. The "hob-mod" reduces the affected individual in size (thus reducing caloric demands), gives them tough, leathery feet, and may actually make them more docile (though GenTech denies this last part).</blockquote>
