The Coalition​

Upon humanity's discovery of S-II, a solar system adjacent to our own, filled with many more planets--some more fit for colonization than others--legal systems began to collapse due to the vast diversity of settlers in different areas of the system. Notably, this concern came about when space travel became more conventionally available and sometimes necessary for civilian survival. At this point in development, some of the wealthiest settlers had chosen the planets most suitable for survival and sought to incorporate some form of government across other planets. Thus, through a series of legal documents, bills, and laws, as well as indoctrination and hefty funds in order to expand military forces, The Coalition was formed.

A fair number of citizens under the rule of The Coalition are satisfied with their authority, but it is this populus that tends to enjoy the most benefits, i.e. the wealthy, the senators, and the suck-ups. Many others who do not have such privilege merely live in fear of The Coalition due to the brutal military might and iron fist enforcement deployed to those who resist. Yet a small number--too small for The Coalition to truly be concerned about--chooses to rebel and fight back.

Fortunately, concerning the outer colonies, cities perceived to be less able to generate income are usually left on the looser end of enforcement, and some go unnoticed in the first place, regarded as unworthy of investment.
