Federal Fleet

The Federation was disbanded in the wake of the Second Interstellar War, leaving its military arm, the Federal Fleet, as the preeminent power in the galaxy. The Federal Fleet is charged with addressing existential threats to humanity: the regulation of technology, rogue systems, and corporations, unleashed AIs, and hostile aliens. They also maintain and operate the fold corridor network. Federal Fleet officers and representatives will rarely intervene in local affairs beyond this, as this might lead to planets and systems banding together against them.
