A bureaucratic organization designed to police the corporations and keep them all in check. The organization is, for lack of better words, quite incompetent and is bullied into complying with the wishes of the larger corporations very often. It is almost always forced by Mirage to do its bidding. Despite this, the OAE passively attempt to defy Mirage, such as providing less than adequate forces or sabotaging Mirage enforced efforts. With the formation of Alliance at the end of Nexus, it is assumed that the OAE was dissolved.
