The following pertains to any thread taking place in the cohesive universe containing Osiris, and not only for threads on Osiris itself.
- The major governmental body is the Terran Alliance. Osiris, for instance, is a Terran Allied Colony within Terran Allied Space. Planets and cultures within the Terran Alliance maintain their individual governments, but have charters detailing the terms of their membership, including taxation and interactions with other systems. Non-members within Terran Allied Space are extremely limited in what they can and cannot do.
- Travel between solar systems and galaxies utilizes a warp drive. Warp drive is both expensive and taxing. Ships must be either extremely large to absorb the forces involved without harming the ship's contents, or extremely expensive in order to utilize the latest materials to do the same. Personal ships capable of warp drive are relatively rare, and usually the owners of those ships use them for work. More common is the utilization of an interstellar carrier service, similar to a ferry.
- The universal currency within TAS is credits, exchangeable through wireless exchange, cards, and chits. Less sophisticated criminals tend to prefer untraceable plats, small discs of platinum lacking any distinguishable features. One plat is worth approximately one hundred credits.

I'm going to be making very regular edits to this, I'm locking it just to keep things tidy if I want to link to it as a resource. If you want something added just send me a message or make a thread in OOC, and if you have a link to an infopage on the thing in question that's even better. Anything tagged [WIP] was mentioned in passing and can be picked up or expounded upon by anyone at any time.
