Corporations and Organizations
Corporations are groups of people who are treated as a single entity for the purposes of conducting business. These companies often purchase rights to regions of space including moons, planets, or entire systems, depending on the regulations set by sector governments. For example: In Schema space, corporations may never own the entirety of a solar system and are regulated by the House of Departments. Whereas in Union space, corporations may own any claimed territory on which they have infrastructure, and are only beholden to their own internal regulations and competitive practices. The Gor Adukk Ma and The Family will fund corporation without affording much autonomy or rights. Across all sector governments, though, all corporate patents and copyrights are recognized.
