== Enceladus Corp. ==
The Enceladus Corporation is the local government of the massive O'Neill cylinder station Enceladus Prime, which orbits Enceladus. It holds an effective monopoly over all miners within the Saturnian system, as Enceladus is the only moon close enough to the rings for rapid cost-effective transit. In 2184, it was the focal point of the First Enceladian Gold Rush after an asteroid impacted the then-in-construction station, revealing an abundance of rare elements within the A-Ring.
While the corporation recognises the need for policing in the A-Ring on account of pirate activity, it does not have an active military, nor a wish to field one. The rule of law is instead enforced through the weregild system, where compensatory fines are issued to ships dependent on the severity of their transgressions. The Vilcy, an organised group of bounty hunters, have taken great interest in the system, and are the rings' de-facto police force.
Enceladus Corp. registers ships that operate in their region of space under the "SE1" designation.
