The Galactic Laws

The Galactic Laws are a treatise created by a group of business entrepreneurs to govern neutral space so merchant ships and trade routes could be more secure while traveling long distances, thus opening greater range for diplomatic connection and intergalactic cooperation, and subsequently increasing their profits. Backed by the money of the mercantile group, the Intergalactic Police enforce these laws.

Origins
==== Interpol, the United Nations, and other archaic international organizations laid the foundations for the ''Galactic Laws. ''The idea of a general government appealed to the mercantile societies that operated within the so-called civilized territories of the Andromeda Galaxy. ==== Although some sovereign planets refused to participate, a group of business entrepreneurs gathered to establish a small court. Interweaving peacetime treaties and planetary laws from across several solar systems, the group wrote the treatise, The Galactic Laws. A lofty novel that in truth had representation in less than 1% of the galaxy.

Nevertheless, the organization created a police force to enforce the treatise and declared all neutral space subject to these laws. Superior armament and weaponry backed by the entrepreneurs conglomerate did the rest.

Current Status
The Intergalactic Police represent the Galactic Laws with the same complicated efforts as the police in any metropolis. Many do their best to upload the laws, keep the peace and protect those who need it while others use their positions delve into the galaxy's darker aspects to undermine the very societal structure for which they work.
