Colonial Territory

A Colonial Territory (CT) is the term used for the largest administrative entities on colonial planets and a limited number of non-planetary objects suitable for human inhabitation. The Colonial Territories are governed directly by the Union of Nation States, through a smaller administration called the Central Colonial Administration (CCA). The various subsidiaries of the CCA each rule a Colonial Territory. They are referred to as Colonial Administrations.

There are several hundreds of Colonial Territories divided over 120 planets and two moons. There are no Colonial Territories on the six home planets. A separate administrative entity was created for planets that don't allow normal human inhabitation (due to atmospheric pressure, temperature, atmospheric condition, terrain or other causes) and non-planetary objects (with the exception of the two moons governed by the CCA). These Administrative Territories may or may not have semipermanent or a limited number of permanent inhabitants.
