The Stellar Consortium was initially the largest player-based organization on Otherspace, and was one of the three main regions in the game during the first six story arcs, the other two being the Fringe and the Parallax. The Stellar Consortium (not to be confused with its successor, the Solar Consortium), was an alliance of worlds that included Earth, Luna, Mars, Castor, Sivad, G'ahnlo, Phyrria, Demaria, Antimone and Centauri. Its headquarters were on Earth, and it was patrolled and defended by the Vanguard. The Consortium was led by a ruling council headed by an elected President.
