While the Disaster was little more than three generations ago, stories of the Overground tend to blur, rather, and those alive to experience it can't quite seem to agree on its nature. The basics are fairly clear, though, and most in the Underground have a working knowledge of the community that preceded them; a rural scientific village, named Principality for its parent company Principium Ltd., populated almost entirely by engineers, chemists and physicists, and their respective families. It was stocked for generations of life and steady expansion, complete with hospital, processing plant, dormitories and, the star of the show, the railway system, which sought to connect every segment of the community. Little did Principality's citizens know how crucial that Underground would prove to be…

Principality: Putting the Unity in Scientific Community

We at Principium Ltd. believe the scientific discipline must extend beyond the confines of the laboratory, of the constrictions of a ‘workplace’ and the inefficiency it entails. We combine the communal support of your local neighbourhood with the peer-led community of a flourishing workspace, resulting in a bustling, happy community—socially thriving and sending shockwaves through the field with every new discovery we make.

We encourage employees to create fresh, new lives with us—in fact, our state-of-the-art facilities are well-equipped to support families through every stage of life, and we have begun to welcome our first Principality-born babies in recent years!

Of course, the pride and joy of our community is our revolutionary railway system—the passion project of our dedicated Director, the metro (nicknamed Terminus for its central, major station) connects all corners of our ever-expanding district with its high-speed, easy-to-navigate rail routes. With the rural placement of our community, concerns of resource are understandable, but fear not—the underground railway ensures consistent distribution of resources and, between the expansive farmland and our local spring, supplies are far from limited. In fact, we look forward to welcoming a new wave of colleagues with the approaching calendar year.

Considering applications now—see details below.
