It has 100 systems. New Hartford is a planet among countless thousands within the OSC. But central authority collapsed 300 yrs ago & the OSC has been in a state of constant warfare since, devolved into the state of feudalism akin to that of old Earth. Politicians fancied themselves nobles, constantly warring over land, succession, or any petty squabbles. Conscription & chain of being are the norm, social mobility nonexistent. High illiteracy rate. Education reserved for the nobility. Infrastructure lies in ruins, the scant remains are nobles' property. Vehicles, warmachines, aircrafts, starships are rare. The OSC constitution has been corrupted & twisted to serve the new nobility, the new nobles are also the new clergy. State Troopers are just conscripts, given poor quality weapons & armor. Pulse weapons are considered cheap & weak. Plasma weapons, power armor, energy shields & any other advanced equipment are reserved for nobles. OSC starships are boxy, elongated, large rear engines. OSC means of FTL travels & FTL communication relies on putting their ships or sending their messages through networks of Warp satellites & Warp Relays. These Warp Satellites & Warp Relays are managed & maintained by SigComm Inc. They charge their services via SigMarks. This makes SigMarks the new de-facto standard OSC currency, replaced the previous OSC Orvalt Credits. The following is OSC nobility title ranking from lowest to highest.

Sigcomm Inc. claims to be neutral, but often use their powers to manipulate & interfere OSC affairs. This makes various noble houses pay tributes or tithes to earn SigComm Inc. good graces.
