The Telart Pact

The Telart Pact began as a simple merchant's pact that grew to an unprecedented size via the luxury goods trade. It is suspected that they may have grown a great deal of their wealth on the Black Market. They moved into armored transportation once the First War began. The Telart Pact consists of many independent companies that do various things and all pool a portion of their income to one giant organization, The Telart Pact, it is neither a government nor a company, it is an entity that holds money, land, and powerful influence that is headed by a council of 6 people, whose identities are hidden. These sorts are (or were) classified as Galactic Entities by the Intergalactic Union. They have a populace who lives under them, however those are all collections of citizens of other nations that put their time into their parent entity. Eventually The Telart Pact gets established as an Independent Nation once it reaches a certain population and were required to settle somewhere, so they chose to make their new capital The Planet of Velir. "Another great power that began to rise was one to naturally gain power in the midst of the antebellum. The Telart Pact was an empire so economically advanced, it rose to power on the luxury market. Officially it didn’t claim territories until well after the Corlexian Republic was at war, but it’s influence was everywhere, on both the black and the legal market, it was infallible. Eventually, all shipments made by the Telart Pact was given an armed escort, making it the most secure form of moving loads, especially valuable ones. - Galactic History"""
