Intergalactic Association of Biological Life

The Flag of the AOBL

The Intergalactic Association of Biological Life (AoBL for short) is a massive corporation that works directly under the government. It has been run by the French Terrier Family for its entire lifespan. The AoBL owns and funds every nature conservatory across the empire, including operations, scientists, and the construction of said conservatories. Their motto is "Protecting the world they live in", referring to the organisms both alien and familiar. In their whole history, they have reportedly brought back over 3 million extinct species of Earth (plants included) and have saved over 10 million endangered species of Earth alone. This doesn't even include other foreign alien species they have successfully brought back.

## Information

### Motto

The motto of the AoBL is "Protecting the world they live in". World in this context means the planet's animals and plants inhabit and 'they' is a term used to describe all biological life.

### Government

The company has complete control over the sector of the government based on Alien life and study and their representative sits in the seat, overlooking all matters that may affect life. These are usually the children of the current leader but can sometimes be other influential members.

### Leadership

The Intergalactic Association of Biological Life is currently run by Émeric Terrier, son of Pique Terrier. This makes the AoBL unique as it is the only government organisation to be a family-run business, the Terriers being highly valued by the government and by the public.

### Notable Members

Besides the Terrier Family, Wright Attenborough is a very influential figure in the company, broadcasting documentaries about wildlife mostly in the already-built nature conservatories but occasionally on planets with life not impacted by human geography such as Aquararus.

### Hub

The main hub of the AoBL is located in Cynthia, Luna but they have buildings across any city with a nature conservatory. This hub acts as a home to the Terrier Family and other high-ranking members of the family. It also has teleporters capable of transporting the family to whichever observatory they wish to.

## History

### José Terrier

José was a wealthy man from a wealthy family. He had an interest in the world around him, but not human geography. His great-grandfather had witnessed World War III and passed down the experiences from families. José was more concerned about the animals harmed, and plants gone. Because of this, he was isolated from others at a young age, having different mindsets. He was also way too knowledgeable at his age and too mature, this was noticeable when he was 14, having a better understanding of life than others his age. He studied sciences, mostly Biology but also focusing on the other sciences. He graduated with some of the highest science results ever in history and using this he had many fields he could choose to go in. To try to change the world he went into the government and eventually became the chief minister for all biological matters and matters that concerned local wildlife across the growing empire. In 2201 he got the government permission to form a new entity focused on preserving life and named it the Intergalactic Association of Biological Life.

### Early Growth

Because it was government-backed, many decided to get jobs there. José was rich and the nature sector of the government also paid for the corporation, meaning people were paid well. José's first undertaking was the Malldes Nature Conservatory in the smaller Martian city of Malldes. He successfully brought back many creatures and saved other endangered species. The main animal was the Asiatic Cheetah, an animal that had gone extinct in the wild since the outbreak of WWIII. Along with this, the Tasmanian Tiger was brought back and other creatures. Many came to the conservatory to see these animals long thought dead now back. José's dream had become a reality and now he could fund other projects across the empire.

### The United Government

When the Unity Act of 2331 was passed the government formed into one entity. Before that the countries had been united under the new United Nations but they still operated with their governments. José was asked to have a seat as the representative for Intergalactic Wildlife but he let his son take that spot instead. Now more money could come in and he could continue to expand his efforts. The association was now directly funded by the Department of Intergalactic Wildlife and was used to conduct all their missions from then on.

### Acquisition of Companies

As a part of the Greater Wildlife Act of 2502, the AoBL bought many organism-studying starship companies including the major company Extraterrestrial Biological Study. Under this act, the companies could still act semi-independently but give all information to the AoBL and work directly under them. There were no objections to this and because them being able to have multiple companies doing work, their efforts increased.
