An up-and-comer in the Umbrian Republic's AI and predictive analytics market, Cianave Systems achieved early success by developing artificial intelligence platforms which were lightweight enough to be used to manage everyday electronics and other personal devices.

Axios Frontier Solutions was one of a handful of early entrants to seize the opportunity presented by the Republic's expansion into the Frontier. Originally a small specialty goods manufacturer, Axios would go all in on the colonial market, shuttering its existing manufacturing facilities in the inner portion of the Republic and establishing itself on Tratirne, Ghiave-Fouteena, and beyond.

Viceroys are individuals appointed by the Senate to manage the affairs of both budding habitable worlds and systems where the Umbrian presence is confined to artificial habitations, and therefore considered impermanent. They serve a standard term of four years, though that term can be renewed at the Senate's discretion.

The Umbrian Republic is the central government of the Umbrian people, the organizational force which serves as the foundation of their society. Centered on their home world of Umbria, the Republic represents over one hundred and fifty billion people, spread across 80 habitable worlds and hundreds of lesser outposts.

Each system colonized by the Umbrian Republic has a chief executive responsible for the management of that solar system, whether the Umbrian presence includes terrestrial colonies on habitable worlds or isolated stations and outposts located near valuable resources.

At the dawn of the Umbrian Republic, its founding statesmen believed that executive authority was too great, and too prone to corruption, to rest in a single person. Instead, they devised a system whereby those responsibilities would be split between three equals, and decisions reached by majority vote.
