Aetherilae Joviorum, or non-military satellites, are man-made orbital constructs that serve as infrastructure for whomever launched them. Military satellites are outside this classification. Aetheriliae may perform such tasks as relaying communications, broadcasting telescreen programs, observing the earth and extending logistical control of a country's possessions into orbit.

abstract
| - Aetherilae Joviorum, or non-military satellites, are man-made orbital constructs that serve as infrastructure for whomever launched them. Military satellites are outside this classification. Aetheriliae may perform such tasks as relaying communications, broadcasting telescreen programs, observing the earth and extending logistical control of a country's possessions into orbit. There are only three countries with the technology to launch satellites into orbit: Maya Conglomerate; Roman Empire and Japanese Shogunate. Formed of these states, the Alliance of Earth is the primary organization for the regulation of space travel. Its unchallenged hegemony of the aetherial plane sustains longstanding efforts of the Alliance in keeping non-member countries from starting their own space programs. The history of aetherilae begins with the humanity's first launch of an artificial object in 1935, followed two years later by the first artificial orbiting body - a man-made satellite. These milestons are owned by the Conglomerate. Their Tepeu-series was designed to study the upper atmosphere and probe the firmament between air and the vacuum. Despite many successes, the Maya were soon overtaken by Rome in the space race through the latter's unmatched applications of robotic and propulsion technology.
