Day 21-What are the major organizations of the campaign? How do they deal with visitors?
"Out on the frontier of space, the most notable organizations for a lot of people will be the ones that keep the peace, bring some semblance of order and stability, and those that give you a reason to be out here in the first place.
The Andorian Imperial Guard and Starfleet Command

For nearly a century following the Earth-Romulan War, the Tango Sector was largely an unexplored region dotted with colonies and outposts that were main controlled and operated by the Andorians. The sector was therefore protected by the Andorian Imperial Guard. Even after the formation of the United Federation of Planets, when all other members folded their forces into the UFP's Starfleet, a concession was made to allow the Andorian government to maintain its existing fleet and ground forces.
The fledgling Federation couldn't be everywhere, especially after the hard won war against the Romulans, and the infrastructure of the Andorian Imperial Guard was already in place to assist with this situation. The Imperial Guard was also a point of cultural pride among the Andorian people; servicing in the Guard was a high honor. Unfortunately, the Imperial Guard outlived its purpose and began to feel like a separate and independent entity unaffiliated with the UFP when that was simply not the case.
Commander Tha'ar Bhoth, First Officer and Chief Engineer of the USS Prosperity is a former member of the Andorian Imperial Guard, where his father, General Barath Bhoth, is one of the most decorated and revered military leaders in the Guard's history. Recently, the Imperial Guard was officially disbanded and its officers and ships integrated into Starfleet, an unprecedented historic event that nearly led to an Andorian Civil War. Luckily, thanks to Captain Fletcher, Commander Bhoth, General Bhoth, and some daring maneuvers both diplomatic and military, such a conflict was averted and the splinter group responsible for the situation arrested.

Now, with the Andorian Imperial Guard no longer active in the Tango Sector and Starfleet having only a few ships in the region, pirates and other threats have attempted to seize the opportunity to get away with whatever they can.
The Andorian Mining Consortium
The third largest private corporation in the United Federation of Planets and the largest mining operation, the Andorian Mining Consortium also ranks as the most influencial non-military organization in the Tango Sectors. Aside from mining and processing raw materials, the AMC handles transport and regulates trade and sale of their own hauls throughout the region.
While the agricultural operations on Mozinphar's Star are more prestigous in some regards, Andorian Ale is a luxury item or at least not a necessity the way metals, minerals, and related chemical products are.
The Typhon Trade Alliance
A loose organization of commercial concerns from the Cheronians, Kyodanians, Mazzulans, and other independent governments and companies hoping to gain favor with the United Federation of Planets by showing a unified, cooperative endeavor.
The group is primary interested in improved commerce opportunities with the UFP, long term contracts between members and safe passage through each others space, and mutual assistance and defense against the Blue Orion Pirates.
The Khelayans have made it known they'd like to join the TTA but thus far their inclusion has not been approved. There's a feeling it might impede positive relations with the Federation given the history between the two powers.
