[edit] General Information
The Star Confederation (also known as the StarConFederation, the ConFederation, the Federation or StarCon for short) is a loosely-organized coalition of planets, asteroids, and other planetary bodies. It has what appears to be a centralized government, with the ability to raise taxes. The various arms of its government appear to be afflicted with different levels of corruption (such as that seen in the Pukoid incident).
It is represented by a fleet of space-faring vessels, ranging from garbage scows (such as the SCS Eureka) to heavy star-fighters (SCS Goliath). Officers in the pseudo-military organization commanding these vessels are trained at the StarCon Academy, near Xenon, where StarCon is based. Ranks in the organization range from Janitor 2nd Class to Cadet to Admiral.
StarCon's in-flight magazine is the Milky Way Today.
[edit] Game Involvement
StarCon first appeared in Space Quest 5, and played a large role in Space Quest 6, though it is likely that it was in existence some time before this. Roger Wilco was/is a member of StarCon, and has served as both an officer and as a janitor. He appears to have been the subject of a conspiracy within StarCon (see Project Immortality).
