Far Space
Out here UEF member states, non-governmental bodies, private concerns, and corporate entities may establish manned or unmanned facilities on celestial bodies for scientific investigation, commercial use or human settlement. Such endeavours however must be registered with, and regulated by, ICA law.
Apart from a few obvious exceptions, ICA presence and influence at colonies in this region is limited, usually no more than a small Settlement Welfare Team. Corporations or other concerned parties may come to local commercial arrangements with each other when engaged in ventures out this far. ICA law runs only as far as to cover crimes against Federation personnel, or criminal events on or concerning Federation spacecraft in as much as Federation spacecraft must abide by the principles of Space Law. Apart from a few exceptions there is generally no active policing of Far Space outside of the larger colonies. Most small colonies in this region have learned that as long as they keep their heads down and noses relatively clean, ICA control is a remote form of government at best.
It can be a dangerous, lawless place, as the only star systems with anything like a substantial UEF/ICA presence are those bordering the breakaway regions of space formed after the Colonial Wars.
