-AstroTech R&D was founded on the principle of combining aesthetics with functionality. Unlike most people who will sacrifice aesthetics for functionality or vice versa, AstroTech R&D never settles for less. No matter how little space is given or how much functionality is required, AstroTech R&D always finishes the job with top tier quality.
+AstroTech Research and Development is PirateCraft's premier redstone engineering group. Founded on the principle of finding the perfect combination of aesthetics and functionality, the group has refused to make any compromises and has always operated under the belief that any redstone system can be made to fit in areas of any size or shape. AstroTech also has a strong focus on security, being responsible for the design of [[Mesa Basa]], one of the most secure and secretive bases on the server.
+In addition to strictly redstone-based projects, AstroTech also shares responsibility with the [[Narwhal Syndicate]] for the continued development of the [[Phantom Narwhal]], and has a strong interest in integrating pure redstone with server plugins.

 AstroTech R&D is a Research and Development organization created by [[Astrobolt]]. The organization was originally created to solve redstone spacing issues involved in [[Astrobolt]]'s bone lounge, a skeleton spawner on ae0's island. While using complicated redstone machines in small spaces is still the main focus, AstroTech R&D has expanded its horizons to powerhouse bases such as [[Mesa Basa]] and war machines such as the [[The Phantom Narwhal|Phantom Narwhal]].

-As more of ae0's island was explored, another skeleton spawner was discovered. [[Astrobolt]] was once again commissioned to make it functional. This time, the spawner would be more advanced. There would be several time options to choose from. The times were so precise that even the longest option, 30 minutes, was accurate to within 10 seconds. The spawner also included automatically restocking shops that essentially an infinite money machine. The spawner was perfected with a skull entrance created by Simbad_Tiger.

There would be several time options to choose from. The times were so precise that even the longest available option, 30 minutes, was accurate to within 10 seconds. (the longest possible option given the redstone setup was estimated to be over 18 hours - for obvious reasons this was never tested) The spawner also included automatically restocking shops that essentially made it an infinite money machine. The spawner was perfected with a skull entrance created by Simbad_Tiger.
 Unfortunately, the same server update that broke [[Astrobolt]]'s bone lounge broke the Spooky Spawner as well. Now, the Spooky Spawner is free to use.

 All work on the [[The Phantom Narwhal|Phantom Narwhal]] is top secret, therefore further details on this project are unavailable.
-== Work for Hire ==
+=== Narwhal HQ ===
-Currently, AstroTech R&D does not do projects for the general public. Projects are only done if [[Astrobolt]] approves of the person submitting a request. Additionally, if materials are provided, all jobs are free. Otherwise, the cost of the project will reflect the cost of the materials.
+The [[Narwhal HQ]] was a large base built by [[Astrobolt]] for housing [[narwhals]]. Construction began when [[Astrobolt]] realized that he needed a single location to store all of the [[narwhals]]. It was completely under the sea floor and featured a large hangar with a retractable roof along with a dry dock. The Original [[The Phantom Narwhal|Phantom Narwhal]] was also stored here in its own secure chamber. In classic AstroTech R&D fashion, it also featured a state-of-the-art security system.
-Request can be made in game by using /msg Astrobolt or by using /mail send Astrobolt.
+Approximately five months after construction began, [[Astrobolt]] removed all AstroTech related materials, including the [[narwhals]], so that he could sell the base in order to raise funds and get materials for a new base. After the former [[Narwhal HQ]] was sold, construction began on a new base, which is yet to be named.
