The Galactic Overall Development Company is refered to as "GODCo" by the less reverent. It is located on Hentz, which is ruled by a religious clan, the Family of One. While not an overly fanatic or expansionist religion, the one thing the Family does dictate is that that everyone who lives on Hentz or works for GODCo must wear a uniform denoting his job and social position. The science of terraforming may change the structure of the entire Frontier over the coming centuries as whole worlds may be made inhabitable. Only planets that have no intelligent life form may be terraformed.
