Description
Colonies:

This is a guide that explains what types of colonies there are in space and what each GCC member views a colony as.

Types:
o Government-owned: These are colonies that are established or acquisitioned from a private source. Can be industrial, military, research, or just a residential colony. Depending on what government they are usually controlled by various forces within the colony, but the government in the colony has the final say so. Private organizations can be found within.
o Industrial: Can be private or government owned. Usually under control of a corporation, but allied with a certain government. They can also be completely staffed with personnel or be a primarily production based colony with other various operations inside. Various industries can be located within the same industrial colony.
o Private-owned: Sometimes owned by a group, person, and/or corporation. They can be self sufficient (very rarely), but mostly they are aligned with a government. Mostly its private companies with the Federal Stellar Union and United Earth Federation that establish new colonies ( can be industrial, research, or residential colony).

Views on Colonies:
o UEF: Colonies are usually (72% ) established by private on industrial forces and then recognized as UEF territory. They are primarily governed with the same laws as most of the UEF, however the border colonies in an outer solar system’s edge may be watched for pirate activity especially. Only few government owned colonies exist, because, after establishment, they are turned over to private forces, but government forces remain to keep control. Most government bases are industrial and military bases.
o Xilien Hegamony: All colonies are government owned, but private organizations are welcomed to trade and flourish within them.
o Supreme Collective: All colonies are under Collective control, but they are viewed each as an organism that basically ties into one major “colony” that is the Collective. No private organizations are allowed, unless severely restricted by the government.
o Federal Stellar Union: Few government-owned colonies, primarily they are controlled by private industries or groups that are recognized as FSU colonies.
o Horde of Akelon: Evenly broken up between private and government-owned colonies. Usually controlled by a member of the Horde of the Cult of Arn that is alliance with the Horde.
o Gadaru Cosmic Confederacy: Primarily private owned colonies, but there are some colonies that are used for military purposes that are owned or occupied by the government.
o Economic Union: The government is run by private-owned groups, so it’s hard to say whether they are truly privately or government owned at times.
o The Kushan Imperium: Most colonies are government owned, but there are privately owned industrial colonies within the Imperium.
o The Betan Freehold: Colonies are controlled by oligarchs that represent the government, but are usually heads of private groups.
o The Megan State: All colonies are government owned. Colonies are justifiably part of the State, so therefore must be controlled by the State.
