University of Yquatine

The  was where Arielle Markhof studied xenobiology. Located one one of the the hills surrounding the planet Yquatine's capitol, Yendip, it was a residential institution characterised by its domed architecture.

In addition to Arielle, its famous alma mater included Stefan Vargeld, Arielle's eventual partner and the President of the Senate of the Minerva System.

Though the main campus was on Yquatine, it had at least one additional campus on the moon of Muath. This branch of the university had significant low-gravity research facilities. Some aspects of xenobiology required that environment, and so Arielle went to the planet to continue her education in the wake of her breakup with Stefan Vargeld on Yquatine.
