The Kiladako Information Bureau (KIB), is a reservoir of data containing all known facts about the universe.
The Kiladako Information Bureau holds approximately 3.6 Zettabytes of data and grows by 1 petabyte per hour. The Kiladako are required to periodically upload their research findings and even their memories to this large data bank.
Location
The data is held in large chemical vats of metabolomes. The location of the molecular storage vats are kept secret, and exist in multiple locations around the galaxy.
The data stored at the KIB is only accessible to Kiladako. The flow of information at the KIB is tightly controlled.
Goal
The Kiladako believe that having access to this much data will eventually make them the most powerful race in the galaxy. The data is processed in large supercomputers which attempt to do the following:
- Predict future events before they happen
- Learn about the origins of the universe
- Accurately pinpoint the probable location of new lifeforms
- Understand magic
Censorship
The Kiladako Information Bureau also has a censorship department dedicated to erasing scientific facts that it deems as harmful information. Examples of erased information include the Origin of the Kiladako and Aunt Myrna's Black Hole Tarts Recipe.
