The National Space Exploration Agency was ratified January 1, 2200 after almost a decade of research, preparation, and political wrangling. It is the result of the United States need to organize the complex interaction of technology, space travel & colonization, economics, politics, and national security. The Agency is a combination of NASA, the State Department, the Pentagon, and the NSA. Its biggest contractor is Chromium Industries.
The Agency has pioneered space colonization. There are human as well as robot colonies throughout the entire solar system as well as the planets of the two nearest solar systems, Alpha Centauri and Epimetheus. These colonies mine raw materials, experiment with new technology, and research a variety of scientific fields. Subjects include astronomy, aerospace technology, and immunology.
The Agency is extremely powerful as it can call upon many branches of the federal government for hardware and intelligence.
