Its powerful. Immensely so. What started as a joint business venture between two (of the four) R'll Clans, has grown into a superpower that spans the 'verse. For the longest time - and still, but to a lesser point, thanks to the Sica Corporation - anything you had to pay creds for while in the native sector could be traced back to the Commerce Alliance. They had their fingers into everything - from starship cargo runs, to off-planet travel, to local garbage collectors.The Commerce Alliance grew so big that it eventually bought out the R'll homeworld's various governments - establishing themselves as the species' government. They withdrew from the Volan-N’Ra Ko (loosely translates into the Vic’Tarian-Mycabri Group, the sector’s military force) and for the longest time employed various mercenary groups to provide where protection was needed, and troubleshooting was required.”“Okay, so where do the Regulators fit in?”“Getting there.  With time, however, the "peoples" of the Mycab Sector grew dissatisfied with the way the Commerce Alliance ran nearly every type of trade. Riots, walk-outs, strikes, and worst was brought to bear against the enormous corporation/government. The Commerce Alliance was losing people, property, and worse...profits at an unsustainable rate. The Commerce Alliance needed a police force, a group they could use to keep customers in line.  They decided drastic measures were needed.Measures that were easily implemented, since the Commerce Alliance bank-rolled the majority of the penal colonies scattered around the Mycab Sector....”“Felgato.  Convicts?”“Exactly.  When the first Regulators were used, it was in secret. However, a force that destructive...that violent..... it couldn’t be contained. It started out as merely conspiracies, then rumors...but those rumors grew. They grew into what is down the hall from you now.Death-row prisoners that have been given another lease on life - even if that new life is the complete servitude to the Commerce Alliance.”-Recorded conversation between Adar “Bryce” Allens, black market arms dealer, and Jovanni Tist, Collective Marine Corps deserter, currently serving as a Commerce Alliance Regulator, moments before Adar was killed resisting arrest.The grenade blast rocked them, that was for sure.  Both Regulators laid sprawled out in the hallway, their armored longcoats damaged.  The slightly taller Regulator began to stir first, groaning slightly before pulling himself up to his knees.  He glanced over to his partner, saw he was in worse shape.  The slightly taller Regulator reached into his longcoat and withdrew a small black bag.  Inside, two advanced medi-jects sat in a protective cushion.  The Regulator removed one of them before putting the black bag back inside his longcoat, and moved over to where his partner laid.  The advanced medi-ject was – technically speaking – a black-market only item, since it was only manufactured within the Collective and possession of such an item, unless you worked for the Collective government, was strictly prohibited.  However, the slightly taller Regulator could’ve really cared less about rules and regulations – especially those that applied to people outside of the Commerce Alliance.  He knew it was his handler that gave him the medi-jects, and he knew that his handler was fully aware that the Regulators were above the law.  Hell, they were the law.  He jabbed the self-contained syringe hard into his partner’s leg, knowing that in mere seconds the medical nano-bots injected would begin to repair the damage that gorram grenade did.Once it did, once his partner was conscious, the Regulators were going to finish the job.</blockquote>
