The Imperial Space Administration is the official space agency for the Republic. We are in charge of not only conducting scientific research in space but also bearing the heavy responsibility of sending mankind not only into space, but to bring them home as well.

Based out of New Duluth, the ISA is able to launch rockets safely over the Eastern Seaboard. We also have numerous agreements to work with the ESA of Europe and the Republican Union to further support our research into the great open space of space. We invite you to read more about our current missions and famous star captains below.

You may see around New Duluth or even around the Republic, photos or buildings named after this man, Lawrence Hunt. Lawrence was on his way to becoming the first republican in space as he was the most senior star captain at the time among six other captains. He was determined and showed the highest piloting and leadership skills among the group. He accepted to take the mission in March of 1967. The mission name was Mercury 3, and the purpose was to have the first Republican to enter orbit around the Earth.

However during the launch he tragically died on July 21st of 1967 when his Mercury rocket was struck by lighting causing a massive power failure followed by the combustion of the rocket. This was not the first Mercury rocket to tragically fail when a year earlier Mercury 1 combusted while on the launchpad. 

After Mercury Three the program was scrapped and work began on the Gemini Project, which put a Republican into space on the year anniversary of Lawrence's death the 21st of July 1968 with Gemini 2. He will forever be remembered and commemorated in not just the ISA but the whole Republican Union.
