Star Federation

A shortened name for the United Federation of Star Systems, the Star Federation (or simply the Federation) is a vast network of mostly allied planets, moons, asteroid belts, space stations, and other heavenly bodies and constructs occupying the Okeanos Galaxy. A multitude of different races and cultures comprise this complicated political body, whose primary purpose is to facilitate trade and cultural exchange, minimize conflict, and protect the interests and well-being of developing races. They generally maintain a non-interventionist position in regards to domestic policies of their constituents and recognize a wide variety of accepted government structures, ranging from repressively authoritarian to hyper-liberal minarchist models, and everything in-between. They employ both a large, interstellar military and a closely-related police force. The former serves to defend the Federation and its protectorates from incursions by non-members, and the latter to deal with interplanetary and extraplanetary crime (most notably piracy, unlicensed resource extraction, smuggling, poaching, slaving, and illegal scientific and magical research).
The Federation maintains a major outpost (dwarfing the size of Gaea's largest cities) on the opposite face of Oliblish, where it monitors Gaea and protects it from incursions from Nibiru and the less savory occupants of the Marcab Federation. While it considers Gaea a protectorate, in accordance with its own laws, it does not interfere in domestic politics or life and is prohibited from sharing culture and technology with the native populations. The Imperial Family of the Tenkihito, a major player in the Federation's leadership and overall hierarchy, regularly flaunt these laws, treating Gaea as a private resort.
