Ithica Iniversity is a residential collegiate research iniversity established on the moon Accipitrida in ZY 2199 in the Szarnell colony, shortly after the collapse of the Necrosyrtian Syndicate and the subsequent takeover of company assets by the federal government of the Democratic Republic of Aegypiinae. It was founded by Esrell Ithica as the first in the area. Unusual for its time, the iniversity was founded with no particular scientific focus, instead attempting to contribute discoveries in a variety of fields.
The iniversity is broadly comprised of six undergraduate colleges; each college defines its own admission requirements and programs in near-autonomy from the others.

Notable discoveries
Throughout its existence, Ithica Iniversity scientists have made great contributions to science.
Zoological Specimens
The Ketrech Zoological Collection, located in the main building on campus, is rivaled only by the Pentarchate Museum's, and it contains many species first discovered and recorded by iniversity scientists. Although the ethics of such a method of harvest from potentially delicate ecosystems and populations have long been debated, the educational opportunities afforded by this collection cannot be overstated.
Geology
The stratified rock that forms the crust of Accipitrida has been studied in extensive detail at the iniversity, providing information as to the origin and development of the moon.
