 ===== Government and Politics =====
+==== Galactic Government ====
+The Galactic Sapients Coalition
+==== Authoritative and Legislative Subdivisions ====
+==== 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.
 ===== Military and Space Navy =====
 ==== Flagships ====
-  * NSC //No More Heroes//
+**Carriers**
-  * NSC //Greenside Pike//
-  * NSC //Shouts for Joy//
+The designation //NSC// stands for //New Space Commander//, which references the older pre-war [[Bhirni]] capital ship designation.
-  * NSC //Ways of Survival//
-  * NSC //Constellations//
+  * [[NSC No More Heroes]] - A large carrier generally dispatched for diplomatic missions.
-  * NSC //Jin-Mo-Ri//
+  * [[NSC Green Peak]] - The youngest of all the carriers.
-  * NSB //Vertigo//
+  * [[NSC Shouts for Joy]] - Used in away mission and often loaned to the [[Joint Human Uplift Initiative]].
-  * NSB //Synthetic Dreams//
+  * [[NSC Ways of Survival]] - A general purpose carrier that often follows the NSC //No More Heroes// due to its greater firepower.
-  * NSB //Starside Protocol//
+  * [[NSC Constellations]] - A military training carrier, stationed in deep space.
-  * NSB //Shape of Mercy//
+  * [[NSC Colossal  Shadow]] - Stationed in defense of the GHC Core Worlds.
-  * NSX //Dissolution//
+  * [[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//.
