[h3]The Inter-planetary Coalition of Independent systems[/h3]

The Inter-planetary Coalition of Independent systems (or the IPCIS) began as a loose alliance of upwards of a bakers dozen of systems who banded together in oposition of the rapidly expanding Pure Star Hegemony. Including the Brajali, Terrick, Holor and other systems, the IPCIS is more or less led by a Soviet made up of the selected representatives from each of the systems that make up the core of the organztion. HOWEVER, this dose NOT include many of the systems that were taken during the last Galactic war, or any of the systems who jumped on board during the war. This has led to somewhat of a... disparity of opinons within the Coalition due to its very open policy of accepting new systems into its fold, as well as declaring all conquered worlds a part of the Coalition, causing a lot of chaos and confusion within its goverment which is partially what led to the recent cease fire. Currently, the IPCIS is undergoing a massive re-shuffle and census, in order to better represent the now much larger number of planets. So far though, only a few of the dozens of new systems have been given representation, as the original soviet have been selecting only those systems they consider "worthy", or systems that had previously been in the good graces of the current Soviet representaative systems, meaning largely those with which trade relations are particularly favorable. This is leading to no small amount of resentment from both non-included systems and those original systems that still believe in what the Coalition originally stood for. Small revolts and angry mobs have already surfaced, albeit in severly small amounts, but the possiblility for civil war is evident, an outcome the Hegemon would enjoy greatly.



[h3]The Pure Star Hegemony[/h3]

The Pure Star Hegemony, or P.S.H., is one of the oldest Galactic goverments in existence, reportedly recently turning about 3,158 years old. Originally a very small, very agressive singular system, specifically the home system of the Dal'uatha, the Hegemony began spreading when the Dal'uatha reined in control of their more savage members, turning them into a vicious and rutheless military. After that, planets al nearbye planets were conquerd, followed by their systems. Now, the Hegemony contains upwards of 352 systems, all of which still answer to the Dal'uatha council. For a long while, the P.S.H. went largely uncontested, other than the the more indepent system goverment now and again, and most systems the Hegemony entered immediately surrendered, until recently. The rise of the I.P.C.I.S. posed a real threat to the Hegemony, and they responded the same way they did to any obstacle, with overwhelming application of force. Being the undisputed champions of war the Hegemony expected a quick end to the war, but instead it dragged on for about a century and a half. The larger, and better armed Hegemony military was consistently outmaneuvered early on, and a few strategic blunders led to what was known as the outer system maassacre. A huge Hegemon fleet was led into a killing field by a small Coalition fleet, and was quickly reduced to space debris. After this, a large section of the Hegemon armed forces broke off, returning to the old ways of piracy that the Dal'uatha had been known for. Because of this, among other things, the Hegemon was on equal footing with thee Coalition, leading to an eventual stale mate and cease-fire. The Hegemony has since been focused on re-organizing their military and making sure no Hegemon controlled systems are able to defect to the Coalition, though many believe they are also working to inspire a civil war within the Coaltion to rid themselves of the biggest threat to their authority.



[h3]ZephyrCo. pharmaceuticals[/h3]

[i]"Providing health with a smile"[/i]

ZephyrCo. phatmaceuticals are a massive mega-corporation in just about every sort of profit-making industry there is, including more illicit ones. The company and its constituants are so massive that any connection to illegal activities or questionable ethics can easily be isolated and abandoned by the company at large to avoid any sort of real punishment. with investments from genetic engineering to firearms, ZephyrCo. is without a doubt the most diversified business in the galaxy, and they damn well know it. Though not technically a goverment, multiple planets and even a few systems are "owned" by the conglomerate, and are therefore little more than somewhere to place installations and hire staff. With several extensive PMC's under their corporate umbrellla, ZephyrCo. has the muscle to back up their ambitons, with their three biggest military subsidiaries comprised of: Synthetic military supplements Ltd., the Core defense systems corporation, and Planetary defense solutions Inc., though there are many smaller PMC's as well. With the sheer size of the conglomerate, and the incredible corporate diversity, ZephyrCo. has been involved in more ethically questionable activities than can be counted, but very few have ever actually been directly connected to the company itself.



[h3]The ruined systems[/h3]

More of a nickname than anything, the ruined systems are those caught in the middle of the last Galactic war, and ruined is the best word one could use to describe them. Most all of them have fallen apart, their goverments toppled in the chaos and their armies disbanded. Even those planets aand systems who managed to maintain a modicum of order are surrounded on all sides by pirates, warlords, and alien fleets. Comprising of around 50 systems, all affected to varying degrees, none of the goverments or other organzations have yet stepped up to assist in their protection, policing or rebuilding... other than S.T.A.R. that is.

[b](Like races, if you wish to create an organztion you may do so. However, i would like ANY and ALL player made organizations to be run by me before they are posted or added to this list, S.T.A.R. itself is covered below)[/b]
