New Antaea

An old, fully-terraformed world with a population of nearly three billion, New Antaea (or New Anthea as the Asendowians spell the name) is home to half a dozen prosperous polities with diverse cultures. They operate a joint System Defense Fleet that can be supplemented with auxiliary cruisers from their vast merchant fleets. There are at least two major factions operating out of New Antaea:

• The Royal Anthropological Society, financed by the Kingdom of Vroegland, is a scientific organization dedicated to exploration and research. They will pay for information regarding lost colonies, exotic visitors and even media from other parts of the galaxy, but they also have a tendency to get themselves into trouble and require rescue with alarming regularity.
• The Baselmann Conglomerate, a shady corporation that mostly trades in advanced technology, which they sell to the less developed polities within their general region of space. They'll hesitate to take sides in any conflict for fear of endangering present or future business relationships, but they're equally concerned about their public image as people who do the right thing. They also look down on transhumans.

New Antaean deep space patrols will also lend assistance to ships or outposts that require it, but won't endanger themselves or go out of their way (too much) for people from other planets, unless there's a treaty in place. They simply don't have that many hulls and personnel available most of the time.
