The United Mercenary Coalition
The United Mercenary Coalition is a faction of mercenaries (Mercs), pirates, and bounty hunters. Although the faction itself has rule of law, those laws rarely are enforced on many planets and solar systems within this faction's influence. However, there are a few laws that are always enforced and followed, one being, the Law Of Binding And Payment.
The UMC is a faction that is run as a coalition of likeminded solar systems which spans roughly 48 light years within the Known Sector of the galaxy. A confederate would be a good way of putting it, but the UMC hates calling themselves this.
The coalition is controlled by a ruling Merc president whose title is Overseer. He or she resides within the UMC capital solar sytem named Myrmidon on the planet Ninriov
The president is an elected member of the UMC who was born within the UMC and is elected by member planets of the UMC in a pure democratic manner with all citizens who reside under the UMC's borders having the ability to vote during the voting time which occurs once every year. The same president is able to be reelected as many times as desired, however, there are only a few laws that can be affected by the president of the UMC.
The president can affect laws such as tarrifs, taxes, and other monetary type laws with regard to maintaining a steady money flow into the central government which is used to maintain an army, government officials such as administers, police officers, teachers, etc.
The president is unable to affect laws such as the Law Of Binding And Payment and he/she is also unable to affect any other laws that define the original idealogy of the UMC being, "Live Free and Get Paid!"
Although murder of those within the UMC is considered illlegal, outside of UMC jurisdiction, there are no retributions taken to those who kill for profit. As such, killing contracts and pirating jobs are perfectly acceptable contracts to bring to a Merc, as long as the killing is taken outside of UMC jurisdiction such as within another faction, the Uncharted Sector, or the Scavenger Faction.
