Interplanetary Merchant League in the New Universe

The Interplanetary Merchant League with it's corporations is still the leading economic power in the United Republic of Earth (see also United Republic of Earth in New Universe). In 3190 N.E., it negotiated a deal with the Independent Horsehead Empire and the Golems (see also Golem space in the New Universe) to the creation of a politically independent Corporate Sector under control of League corporations in order to bolster the local economies of the worlds and solar systems of said sector.
