Lightwood, officially the Lightwood Insitute, is an government organization set up by the High Penguin Confederacy in the late 18s in the Lightwood Estate to collect alien artifact and protect Antarctica from aliens. Aliens are described as humans mostly but also Walruses and immigrant species. Species that make regular migrations are excluded from the alien list but are kept a close eye on. Lightwood has five known cells called Lightwood A, Lightwood B, Lightwood C, Lightwood D and Lightwood Freezeland. Lightwood Freezeland is the only one left - A was destroyed in the Battle of Lightwood, B was destroyed in the Str00del Pancake Crisis, D was "lost" and C was shut down sometime before Khanzem.
