Seldon Institute of Psychohistory

The Seldon Institute of Psychohistory was an institution that existed within the United Federation of Planets.

After the discovery of the Mirror Universe, the Institute was tasked by Starfleet to compile a study on how exactly the two universes might have diverged. This was because Starfleet wanted to know if the fate of the Terran Empire was a possibility that might befall the Federation in order to avoid such a situationin the future.
