The Science Ministry was an agency of the Terran Empire of the Mirror universe and was headed by a Minister. Its mission was co-opting valuable research as well as cracking down on dangerous projects or companies. Its cruel nature meant that it cared little for the well being of their test subjects as it was primarily focused on getting results. The Ministry was responsible for control over the Massachusetts Science Ministry Institute of Technology and Enterprise. (Decipher RPG module: Through a Glass, Darkly)
