Authority

The Authority was a major interstellar state originating from the center of the galaxy. Technologically advanced and millennia old, the Authority was founded under the absolute rule of a group of sentient beings worthy of their own existence in the cosmos. The Authority was dedicated to imposing their vision of "order" upon the universe, by any means necessary.

Government
The Authority was organized under a strict hierarchy, which was referred to as the order of things and even the slightest deviation from it was punishable by death. Their decisions could not be questioned under any circumstances.

Military
Their military was not composed of ragtag bandits or poorly trained local interplanetary militia but professional soldiers who are the best trained, best equipped, deadliest and most disciplined fighting force in the universe. They always obeyed orders and show no fear even in the face of impossible odds.
