The Syndicate, also known as the Intaki Syndicate, is an independent state on the borders of the Gallente Federation. Its a haven for all of the undesirable elements of society without being too rough and tough. The Syndicate have fostered their role of mediators between merchants from the empires and the outer regions, which makes trading with Syndicate space brisk.

The Syndicate is not political group or organization in any sense. Having been denied the right to colonize planets in the region, the Syndicate instead operates exclusively from its network of autonomous stations, but they cooperate on security and information issues.

Each Syndicate station has its own governor who has complete authority and is the undisputed master over their station and its surroundings. These governors either are the same, or descendants of those, that were instrumental in constructing the station all those years ago. The Syndicate's main headquarters is Poitot station.

Currently the de-facto leader of the Syndicate is Silphy en Diabel which has turned out to be just as resourceful and ruthless as her late father and former leader Dorn en Diabel.

The Syndicate wants their space to be relatively trouble-free, so as to encourage people to visit and spend their money. With empire policing infrequent, they employ their own police force known as the Intaki Space Police to enforce the peace. Though Syndicate space is considered a pirate haven, it still retains enough civility to allow pretty much anyone to travel there to do business.
