图鉴：泰拉太空联盟

Terra的主要统治机构。

历史

地球政府，源自二十五世纪初的联合国。尽管人类在银河舞台上并不占据重大地位，像Victor Steele这样的冒险者的事迹极大提升了人类的公众关注度，尤其在冒险者与殖民者为最新Planet Rush排队准备出发时。泰拉远离U.G.C.太空的“边陲”，因此强烈强调自己无法也不会保护国境外公民。这一坚定的本地化政策使联盟核心世界人口显著积累，同时人类海盗和不法之徒可在边陲外国太空畅行，几乎不惧干预。

泰拉太空联盟由设于泰拉的议会统治，所有联盟控制世界皆有经正式选举的代表来代表公众利益。所有成员星球必须遵守联盟法律，但在此框架内可依自身意愿治理：一个人类星球或许是每天接待上千外星种族的都市，另一个则可能是受巨型企业奴役的强权独裁国。

It should be noted that, while the Coalition would like to imply that they are the face of humanity, the truth is there are hundreds of colonies and stations filled with humans outside Coalition jurisdiction. While the T.S.C. is the most prevalent human government, it is by no means the only one. The Terran military is relatively strong and technologically advanced, but highly concentrated in the core worlds. T.S.C.S. Odyssey, the flagship, is one of the most advanced starships in the U.G.C. Most Terran starships are slow, lumbering vessels with exceptional armor and moderate shields, but relatively low weapons power: they rely primarily on firing lines for combat effect, and starfighter escorts and planetary bombers are the primary force projection for Coalition fleets.

With the new planet rush beginning and with hundreds of thousands of colonists waiting and raring to go, Coalition presence in the fringe has increased somewhat, with a small fleet of cruisers and escorts patrolling the edge of Coalition space, ready to respond to emergency distress calls put out by the colonists -- a rare exception to the localization policies the fleet usually observes. However, this does not by any means guarantee safety, and any human colonist or explorer operating beyond Terran space is strongly warned that they may be on their own if disaster strikes.
