Sector Trade Coalition

The Trade Coalition of the Milky Way Sectors (TCMWS), also called the Sector Trade Coalition (STC), is an interplanetary organisation that regulates and facilitates interplanetary trade. With effective cooperation both within and outside of the Galactic Union, different governments, planets and whole star systems use the organisation to establish, revise, and enforce the rules that govern international trade. The STC is the largest trade organisation in the Galaxy with over 40 000 member planets. Studies show the organisation has boosted trade and reduced barriers, also having influenced trade agreement generally between the members.
The STC is headquartered in Miandjziang, a metropolitan city in the Northern hemisphere of Zchinvizz. The current president of the organisation is Mishri Vatakhasana, and the current vice-president is Ozomatli Itzchel Ollin.
== History ==
The Sector Trade Coalition was founded at the end of the Unification Period, when different members of the Galactic Union decided to conduct interplanetary trade under their own supervision, outside of the GU's control. The idea was greatly supported by the now defunct Outer Sectors Alliance, and the STC was founded at an OSA meeting held in Miandjziang by representatives of the governments of Mars (Sol-411), Zchinvizz (Arcturus-111) and Falthar (Folire-121) — the hailed giants of interstellar trade at the time. Since then, the STC has amassed a large membership of different systems and planets and its growth has been largely supported by different organisations and economic unions.
== Flag ==
The Sector Trade Coalition flag is divided into seven equal horizontal stripes, resembling the seven colours of the rainbow; a white upside-down triangle in the middle with three white stars inside of the triangle. The stripes symbolise the inclusion of Sectors 2 to 8, the triangle symbolises alliance, while the stars symbolise each of the three founding planets.

* Falthar is one of the two founding planets of the Galactic Union, the other being Pataliputra (Mirnama-111).
