===United Earth Government===
The United Earth Government is a central government operating from old Earth. While the UEG is a shadow of its former glory from prior to the void wars it nevertheless holds significant influence within the core worlds thanks to its powerful military. The deeper recesses of space however remain well out of the reach of the UEG, and will continue to be as such for a long time. 

The UEG barely is able to hold some influence over powerful corporations such as Nanotrasen by maintaing a very tight grip over their more lucrative assets. An example being that the UEG hold the rights to the precious few system that house the rare resource 'Plasma', of which the UEG 'graciously' allow Nanotrasen to mine and explore these system so long as NT pays the UEG its dues.

Aside from its bare grip over Nanotrasen, the UEG has virtually no physical presence in the outer sectors of space, so long as they get their way.
