Goals
The government seeks to support trade and corporate profitability. Manufacturing and resource development are vital to their continued survival.
History & Background
Primarily a corporate entity, the Concourse was formed by a union of fragments of the Viyard Worlds which broke away from the Galian Trade League over a century ago, and a military alliance of worlds bordering Crucis Margin originally known as the Collective.
The nominal capital of the Concourse is Viyard/Gateway [1829]. The old Collective capital at Balaclaron/Gateway [1637] still figures prominently in Concourse politics, however.
The Concourse is currently engaged in a protracted struggle with the Galian Federation over a number of independent worlds which lie between the generally recognized borders of the two governments, including Alphaaric, a world in the Ariel subsector inhabited by an advanced but enigmatic non-human civilization. Although open war has not been declared, numerous skirmishes and border incidents have brought the area to a fever pitch. The recent Treaty of Granth allied the Concourse with the Hochiken People's Assembly to coreward, a move which is viewed with alarm by observers who see this as a means by the HPA to separate the Plavian League from its Galian ally.
Government & Politics
The Viyard Concourse government is characterized as having an average degree of centralization, which gives local/regional/planetary governments more power than most governments, but sacrifices uniformity on many issues. The Viyard Concourse government is usually classified as a Concourse with strong elements of Corporatism, a form of a Federation.

Their technology lags behind some of their neighbors. It also varies from planet to planet, TL–10 is most common with limited TL–11 available for some items.
Military & Intelligence
The Viyard Concourse Corporate Fleet has several strange ship designs.
Sectors & Astrography
The Viyard Concourse is an interstellar state composed of a number of star systems.
