Bureau of Ships and Services
this agency assigns unique transponder codes to all of the galaxy's starship. It is often referred to as the BoSS. A bureau office is located in most major spaceports throughout the galaxy. BoSS has been an fixture of intergalactic travel for several millenia, surviving the scourge of the Empire and the birth of the New Republic while remaining totally neutral. Most of the positions within BoSS are filled on a hereditary basis, so the BoSS is as much an intergalactic clan as it is a civil bureaucracy. It ensures its usefulness and independence in two ways: it keeps its computer files stored in nearly indecipherable codes, and it has remained neutral to any galactic confrontation. This neutrality is formed from a simple rule: whoever rules the galaxy "inherits" the BoSS.
