United Stars of the Galaxy (USG)
Overview
The United Stars of the Galaxy (USG) are a federation of 106 states in MultiGov systems all over the Eight. However, for some years now they are controlled by a crime syndicate under the leadership of a mad despot. When after his first term he didn't get reelected he announced the elections as rigged and, thanks to his mostly uneducated followers and some powerful allies, declared himself as president for a lifetime. After selling out rare mining rights to Imperial Industries Consortium the leading families awarded him with some powerful warships. This fleet, assisted by mercenaries, makes it possible to run the USG with an iron fist and smash any resistance showing up.
