Trade Federation of Allied States

The Trade Federation
The Federation is a loose alliance of Empires and independent states that focus on the protection, policing, and judgement of pirates and corporate criminals.

Empires through-out space offer resources to this group as a form of police force that would punish trade-criminals.

Government
The Government of the Federation is a board of directors under the command of a Magistrate, whom oversees trade routes and protection of mercantile vessels.

Some Corporations have been known to bribe the Federation to look the other way, if they find loopholes. However overall, the Federation strives for equal trade and protection from Pirates, and criminals.

Military
While the Trade Federation has no active independent military, Member states often lend their own warships as police and anti-Piracy patrols. The warships are not as formidable as war fleets, however they still have a power to be reckoned with.

Inner Circle
The Inner circle is usually privately owned ships that are directly under Federation control. They often have at times some questionable weapons on these ships, but the Board always insists they are following the Galactic Code.
