World Military

The primary interstellar enforcement arm of the League of Suns is the League Survey Service, a scout organization with military appendages. Kokkelen is home base for the LSS naval/military arm, which has been stationed here for most of the League's history as a check against Alntzar. However, the facilities on Alzenei are now being upgraded to co-equal status, as a counter to the Descarothe Hegemony.

World Law (L)

Kokkelen has an extreme law level which covers every area of interaction. Laws are complex, detailed, and difficult to understand. Every interaction with the government requires an Advocate. Law enforcement is omnipresent and strict. Legal proceeding can take months to years to resolve and may involve dozens of people. A few worlds with this law level may be a Red Zone and others will be an Amber Zone. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (with no exception for private residences; visiting starships are only protected so long as they stay within designated starports and approach corridors).
