Temerant Alliance
The Temerant Alliance is a confederation of several member states situated in the coreward half of the Temerant arm of the galaxy, reaching just short of the region where the brighbank run connects it to the outer core sectors about halfway through. At the tail end of a socio-economic boom that lasted throughout the previous century, things have ground to a halt after its contact and subsequent conflict with the Concordat of ten stars, which lasts to this day.

Concordat of ten stars
Representing the dominant faction on it's core planet, the Concordat is an autocratic, militarist faction that more often than not finds itself at odds with the Temerant Alliance.

While the concordat has long since expanded it's territory past these, the ten original systems are still clearly the "favored children" of the faction.

The Yough Lakhai
The Yough Lakhai are what could best be described as a "Semi-Hivemind". While not completely unified, the Yough Lakhai consist of numerous "small scale" conglomerations of consciousnesses. This leads to the situation where although the Yough Lakhai homeworlds are inhabited by billions, They consider themselves as only numbering in the thousands, in terms of personhood. From the perspective of the Yough Lakhai, most planets and stations are only inhabited by roughly as many people as there are functions neccessary to operate.

Dal Karst Committee
Also neighboring the Temerant Alliance is the Dal Karst Committee. While its remote location has prevented it from playing a more prominent role in the grand scheme of things, this might also explain its continued independence, as it's often considered too "backwater" to be of interest for would-be conquerors. In recent decades, however, a tight network of alliances seems to have brought some degree of interstellar organization to the region, which has already caught the interest of some.
