<p>The Trans-System Authority is an independent
body funded by 37 trans-gov powers (governments
or super-corporations that own and operate
phase gates between solar systems), and
given jurisdiction over trans-system affairs:
as defined by a document called The Charter.
The Charter is a comprehensive document,
covering disarmament, fair trade agreements
(most importantly, sharing phase gates),
and certain basic civil rights that had
become blurred (or tossed aside) during
the dark times of the Expansion.</p>
<p>To enforce The Charter, the Trans-Govs
chose Admiral Rathine Studaber, former head
of the revived British Secret Service, and
gave her a budget for a small military force
&#150; which proved hard pressed to stop those
same greedy and quarrelsome powers from
violating almost every agreement they had
made: often concerning their own citizens
(termed &quot;population abuse&quot;). It
was not very long before the TSA had to
resort to military police actions. Its surprising
success against the vastly more powerful
and far better equipped Trans-Govs earned
it the secret hatred of the same powers
that created it. They have long been angling
to curtail the TSA's powers, slash its funding,
or even dissolve it entirely and replace
it with something they can control. So far,
their distrust of each other, and intense
media scrutiny, has kept the TSA alive.
The TSA sees itself as the only sane player
in trans-system politics, and has become
an unappreciated (and often vilified) champion
of human rights.</p>
