Glossary Entry: United Free Trade Planets

United Free Trade Planets, also known as Seven Planets, is both a place (or places) and a division of Crown and Scepter, Ltd., which is the incorporated Family Bajar (that family descended from PAHM Bajar), its planets, palaces and holdings, as well as several divisions and offshoots of the corporation. So, United Free Trade Planets is both an import/export business and the government of Seven Planets and its various colonies, territories, outer territories, satellite worlds and mining operations. Ostensibly founded by GHMM Bajar, son of PAHM (see: Dictator, the Dread), but only on paper, the brain behind Crown and Scepter was that of RSVdG Bajar, a minor child at the time. The fact that GHMM Bajar met his death in an “iffy” boating accident less than a week after his son and successor came of age made headlines in the interglax noos and was a hot topic for holochats and docudramas of the day. The general conclusion drawn by those chats and dramas was that it’s very hard to die in a boating accident on a desert world. However, RSVdG Bajar was subsequently cleared of any wrongdoing by the High Court of Seven Planets, a division of United Free Trade Planets, which was, in turn, a division of Crown and Scepter.
