==Organizations==

* [[Arkesh Spacers]] a really shady trading company. has a nominal headquarters on Strouden / Lunion., Arkesh Spacers eschew regular bases, relying instead on independent contacts on many Marcher worlds to provide custom and maintain their vessels. These contacts include radical members of the Belter Freedom Alliance and even more shady people.

* [[Barrachi Technum]] is a diverse company which engages in Manufacturing, Finance, and Trade. BT operates out of Trin in Trin's Veil subsector and throughout the Spinward Marches sector and neighboring Trojan's Reach sector. BT is engaged in a bitter rivalry with McClellan Factors for control of regional shipping. Both see the many opportunities in the sparsely populated worlds of District 268 and parts of Trojan's sector, areas that are currently outside the Imperium. BT have dealt with the [[Senlis Foederate]] and [[Belgardian Sojurnate]].

* [[Belgardian Sojurnate]] petty micro space empire in [[Trojan's Reach]]. Little more than scum and pirates. During the time of the Fifth Frontier War, Imperial Scout [[Aleksander Berg of Tirem]] stumbled across a fleet of actual warships they'd somehow acquired. This started a sideshow micro-war, more of a police action really, where our heroes were very heroic.

* [[Belter Freedom Alliance]] political association active across Glisten Sector. Some activists are little more than pirates.

* [[Bilstein Yards]] a boutique starship manufacturing company, operating in Glisten sector and Imperium wide. It's a very small company compared to LSP. Best known products are yachts, but it also produces and maintains merchant craft. 

* [[Imperial Navy]] A training ground for Imperial Nobility. They fly the Marine's taxis. 

* [[Imperial Scout Service]] the Third Imperium's combination postal service, census bureau, and intelligence agency. Many love or fear their floral print bowling shirts. It's a short, short life in the scouts!

* [[McClellen Factors]] is a pure shipping and trade company, HQ on Mertactor and Trelaxion in District 268. They have a hypercompetitive attitude, typical of Mertactor merchants. Most of their current development is on areas outside the Imperium, but the company is lobbing Sector Nobility for expansion of Imperial Boundaries. Victory in the Fifth Frontier War make this possible, if not likely,

* [[Senlis Foederate]] petty micro space empire in [[Trojan's Reach]]. They claim to be strong supporters of the Third Imperium. However, they are little more than Scum and Pirates.

* [[Spinward Main Sophent Association]] A charitable organization operating in the Spinward Marches. Dutchess Daphene of Mora is a sponsor.

* [[Third Imperium]] In the '''Grim Darkness of the Fifty-Seventh century''' there is only the spiritual heirs of the British East Indies Company.
