Federation of Planet, Satellites and Orbitals

The Federation of Planet, Satellites and Orbitals is a loose confederation in the Milky Way.
Its home system is Sol and its home planet is Earth.
The people of the FPSO celebrate Christmas and Galactic Rememberance Day.
They have faster than light space travel
Relations with other Galactic Nations
The FPSO is an uneasy ally of the United Planets. At one point in their history, the UP tried to take over the FPSO using cultural advances. In response to this the FPSO among other things, started naming its citzens after old Earth cultural icons, resulting in such names as Gozilla Vastbisuit.
The FPSO has suffered invasion by the Cremators, notably at the planet of Trefflemore.

Space Travel Regulations
Bill mentions several regulations onboard the Hallion:
When the alarms all started going off I was on shift
in the Library. Not the Digital Library, you know, the Software Tech's look
after that, the real library with real paper books. Just to explain, the Ships
Computers have over 30 million works of literature on file, but studies have
shown that people in deep space feel better if they have a paper book to read
from time to time to take to their cabin or in the bath for instance. Ahem,
well, company regulations require that due to the Health and Safety concerns of
people on long deep space missions there should be a librarian and a real book
library on board. However, due to weight restrictions the library was - ahem -
limited to just twelve books, all of which were out on loan. So, anyway...
that's probably all rather besides the point isn't it?
