Bureau of Ships and Services/Legends



The Bureau of Ships and Services (BoSS) was a galactic agency responsible for assigning unique transponder codes to starships and tracking their movements through space.

A fixture in intergalactic travel since almost 18,000 BBY, the Bureau of Ships and Services fields offices in most major spaceports. Its unique structure and neutrality, complete with its own customs, traditions, and unique personality, allowed it to operate across political borders and through the transition of major galactic powers. Offices and field positions were often filled through hereditary means, so much so that after millennia the Bureau was both an closely knit family and a civil agency.

The galaxy's record - keeper when it comes to starship and spacer information, It keeps extensive information on starship registrations and transponder codes, captains' flight certification, and upgraded weapons loadouts on all ships in the galaxy. It also keeps track of astrographical and navigational information as well as data on hyperspace routes used in nav computers. The bureau's databanks are continuously updated and transmitted to starports, systems, and enforcement agencies throughout the galaxy. Files bearing information on the millions of registered starships were held in secure, encoded computer cores.

BoSS has been the keeper of starship information since time began (or so it seems). It's not really a bureau attached to any government or other institutions like other bureaus, it does not owe loyalty to anyone.
