Colonial Administration Authority

The Colonial Administration Authority (CAA), also known as the Colonial Administration or Colonial Authority, is an organization under the ultimate control of the Unified Astronomical Government. The seal of the Colonial Authority is described as a looming profile of an iconic eagle in a circle of seventeen bright stars. The eagle's wing shelters a group of colonists, their hopeful eyes watching a fleet of sleek colony ships flying along the eagle's upturned beak—an image that suggested expansion through unity.

The Colonial Administration Authority serves as the administrative body for the colonies of the Unified Astronomical Government. In this capacity, the CAA governed the colonies in the UAG's name, it has bureaucrats aiding in the management of population and employment, providing power for new colonies, and ensuring the quality of colonial infrastructure. However, colonies maintained sovereignty to some degree, as mandated by the Colonial Authority's own charter. 
In recent years, the Colonial Authority's influenced has become marginalized. The CAA kept extensive files on every colony, planet, and city under its care. The document containing these files was referred to as the CAA Trivia Book. These files contained everything from topographic maps to the information on the materials the city sewer system was built from. The CAA provided this information to NXSC military forces upon request, and it could be very helpful when defending colonies from Colossian attack.

*The Colonial Military Authority served as the military and policing arm of the CAA, until it was folded into the Nexon Prime Space Command in 2497. While the CMA maintained its own fleet, its strength eventually shrunk as the NXSC encroached on the CMA's power and influence before absorbing the organization entirely.
*The Department of Colonial Security precedes the Office of Supreme Naval Intelligence.
*Most of their personnel are Monterissan descent. This is confirmed through their flag patches beneath the shoulder pauldrons.
