==== Immigration and Citizenship ====

The Galactic Sapients Coalition follows the motto, "Everyone is a Citizen".
Following that paradigm, citizenship is afforded easily and quickly, requiring
little more than a two-hour appointment at a government office created for
the purpose. Registration as a citizen involves some basic coverage of federal
law, biometric data submission, and the creation of a pass-phrase which,
alongside the bio-data, acts as a unique identifier to the government.

Most citizens opt to either have a digital ID which identifies them in place
of the more sensitive biometric secret pair, and physical identification keys
are also common in cases where a citizen travels a lot or lives in a less
technologically accessible area.

==== Tax and Public Service Policy ====

The GSC collects taxes from its citizens using a system which has each individual
report their income automatically and calculates a portion which will go to taxes
based on their level of income in a marginal bracket system.

Corporations are taxed much like citizens, however their brackets are much more
aggressive than the individual's, but they are afforded additional legal 
protection and assistance early in their formation so as to encourage competition.
Notably, when a corporation reaches a certain level of revenue, or reaches the legal
definition of a "kilocorp", whichever comes first, they assume the full tax burden
of all their employees.

Most citizens are never taxed individually either because of active employment, or
because the lowest income bracket (which takes no taxes) has historically been quite
wide.

All GSC Citizens must pay a small, nominal yearly fee in order to maintain access to
remote internet citizenship services which allow them to skip a trip to a physical
government office. This fee is usually included in their tax calculations.

==== Flagships ====

**Carriers**

The designation //NSC// stands for //New Space Commander//, which references the older pre-war [[Bhirni]] capital ship designation.

  * [[NSC No More Heroes]] - A large carrier generally dispatched for diplomatic missions.
  * [[NSC Green Peak]] - The youngest of all the carriers.
  * [[NSC Shouts for Joy]] - Used in away mission and often loaned to the [[Joint Human Uplift Initiative]].
  * [[NSC Ways of Survival]] - A general purpose carrier that often follows the NSC //No More Heroes// due to its greater firepower.
  * [[NSC Constellations]] - A military training carrier, stationed in deep space.
  * [[NSC Colossal  Shadow]] - Stationed in defense of the GHC Core Worlds.
  * [[NSC Ursula's Haul]] - Occupied as a temporary orbital station after the [[Attack on Foundry Fifteen]].
  
**Mobile Bastions**

The designation //NSB// stands for //New Space Bastion//, which references the the older pre-war [[Bhirni]] capital station designation, although these vessels are all mobile. Instead, the //NSB// designation now implies a megaship is primarily equipped with weaponry rather than a carrier for other, smaller warships.

  * [[NSB Vertigo]] - Constantly occupied protecting a major [[Abyssal Bridges|Abyssal Bridge]] connecting [[GSC B]]] and the [[NATAS-Enida-Imp Cluster]] from [[Enid's Cluster Triad|Triad]] incursion.
  * [[NSB Synthetic Dreams]] - Stationed in defense of the GHC Core Worlds.
  * [[NSB Starside Protocol]] - Notable for being captained and controlled by the sapient Human-lineage AI [[Joan Roberts Class Nine]].
  * [[NSB Shape of Mercy]] - The primary control center leading the push into the [[NATAS-Enida-Imp-Cluster]].

**X-Ships**

The //NSX// designation stands for //New Space eXperimental//.

  * [[NSX Dissolution]] - An experimental megaship that possesses not one but two gimballed directed energy weapons called //Perdition Beams//. 

==== Other Significant Vessels ====

Most other GHC-aligned vessels are titled //NSV//, for //New Space Vessel//.
