Terran Federation
An intergalactic government claiming custody and responsibility over all worlds in the Milky Way (and the few colonies beyond who'll pay their taxes). While not outwardly xenophobic or discriminatory, their society is governed entirely by Terrans (humans from Federation worlds) and xenos (aliens) are not permitted to hold positions of significant power. Known insultingly as "Feddies". They wish to expand further than the Milky Way, and already have focused efforts on developing and holding their colonies beyond.
Sovereign Colonies
A blanket term for the many loose governments, factions, and independent worlds who exist outside of Federation space, primarily in the Novus-Asteria Galaxy, Andromeda, and the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy. To differentiate themselves from those who live under a Federation flag, they typically introduce themselves under their colony (ex. Halcyoni, Vistani, Jasperian) or simply as a "Colonial". No single government holds domain over these planets due to their scattered and individualist nature, which has led to many problems among these worlds.
Lykaian Empire / Lykaian Outworld Navy
An intergalactic empire made up of the Lykaian race and their protectorate races. The Lykaians are a near-canine like race, although they sport some strange features unique to their race. They began as middle of the food chain scavengers on their home world of Lykaia, but quickly rose to conquer their isolated homeworld and begin spreading across the stars. They are not conquerors, not quite - but believe that together under their banner, the universe will be better defended and prosperous.
SY-M-D / Solar Years-Months-Days
The most common unit to measure time for galactic recordkeeping and standardization. All Federation worlds use this, as well as many Sovereign Colonies (somewhat begrudgingly). These units are typically used in conjunction with the measurement accurate to the planet or installation.
UBIs / TKs / Ticks
Universal Blockchain Increment Tokens, more commonly known as tokens or ticks. Due to its digital and universal nature (many worlds developed their own digital currencies which are often compatible) it is the most common form of currency across the universe.
FoodCorp
"Hungy? Think food!" The latest of thousands of catchphrases and marketing lines for FoodCorp, a conglomerate mega-corporation who distribute their thousands of food products across the stars. With their focus-tested mascot - Mr. Food, they have conquered the market. Across the universe, wherever you go you can find FoodCorp FoodPaste, a quick (and possibly carcinogenic) meal for next to nothing.
