NameFederation of Independent Colonies
Type: Independent Colonization Corporation
Location: Everywhere within Independent space - Main station on a fully colonized asteroid near Ashoka.
Description: Soon after the 'First Haven Treaty' a group of pioneers from all the empires set out to colonize an asteroid rich in vital minerals, they did so rather successfully. The resources were hardly ever sold or distributed, but rather used to create the complex that now envelops the asteroid, and fills the asteroid with halls and catacombs.
The group of people soon became the corporate heads of a large company, that creates colonies on worlds, and asteroids, and other inhabitable celestial bodies. They can't however just build in random areas, or else all of space would be filled with usless colonies. They have to get permission from the GE to get rights of jurisdiction to a solar system, then they have to pay taxation dues for each colony, or supply station they create, but each colony pays off with it's inhabitants soon moving in from all empires, and other corners of space paying there own taxes and dues for moving in.
They (the FIC) are taxed by the GE because the empires are having vital tax paying citizens move out of the empires, and declaring independence, then moving to these colonies.The GE see's that this is rather unfare, and would lead to economical problems in the empires, and they think it's only fare that the empires be compensated. So once dues are payed, the GE often gives the dues to the empires evenly, the GE taking a small percent for itself and it's efforts.
Most people who go to the colonies wish to live away from the hustle of the empire's laws, though the colonies have there own regulations, and though most would think that excessive violence occures with the lack of true laws, that is untrue, most people moving to the colonies wish to have peaceful lives, and they do.
The FIC also creates resupply stations, and resource stations, for ships to stop at and restock, this is where most of the violence occures though, often the GE has to have garrisons at these space stations.
