Oo, I like that!<br/><br/>The CLI would make a good contrast to a planet based federation and kind of explain why the ICTA would come about. On the one hand, it would be easy for the spacers to try and control the jump lanes, but on the other, a lot of the wealth is on the planets, and space colonies are<em>fragile</em>.<br/><br/>So they compromise and create a third party that ostensibly works for both of them.<br/><br/>Also, I'm desperately trying to figure out a way to add a T to the end of that acronym, because I am terrible. xD<br/><br/>The "coordination of landless interests treaty"?<br/><br/>Or maybe something else...<br/><br/>Society for exoplanetary interests, or SExI?<br/><br/>Alliance of space-born sentients?<br/><br/>Alliance of space-born people would actually be pretty good and not as silly :3
