Terran Conglomeration of Worlds

The Terran Conglomeration of Worlds, or the TCW, is an organization overseeing the governance of multiple planetary systems colonized by Humans from the planet Terra. The Conglomeration is constantly sending out colonization expeditions to new worlds via interstellar conduit, usually comprised of a "Seed Ship," with a single Human operator in stasis and an AI core that will become the operating AI of the eventual colony, followed by one or more colonist transport ships.

The TCW itself is known to be a somewhat bloated and slow-moving bureaucratic organization at the Human level; thus, much of the major decision-making is performed by the TCW Alpha-AI. Naturally, Humans insist on yammering on and banging gavels about the various decisions made by the Alpha-AI, so it's not at optimal efficiency, but every little bit helps.
