ALEPH

The Alliance for the Economic Prosperity of Hypercorporations, better known as ALEPH, is a major Terran NGO and lobby. It is used by the largest Terran private corporations to coordinate their strategies and to lobby with the Federal government. It was founded in 2222. ALEPH's headquarters are located in ALEPH Station in orbit of Earth.
Despite its name directly referring to hypercorporations, it encompasses several non-hypers. As of 2723, it includes: C2I, General Appliances, Neue-King, Frijkstadt, Clarktech, Maersk, MRGS, Biotech, Galactic Media, Alimenta and Nortel. Thanks to its status as a "special corporate observer", ALEPH also lobbies to the Union of Cygnus-Orion. Its best-known and most infamous lobbying effort is ALEPH Recommendation No. 06101, which led to Terran involvement in the Great War.
