The Bureau of Space maintains governance and infrastructure on the Vekllei moon, other celestial claims and in outer space. It is a unique government organisation with the fascinating role of facilitating civilian life in Vekllei’s offworld settlements. On smaller, scientific settlements like Station Mars and Station Venus, the bureau assumes a direct governance role. On older and more established settlements, it retains a functional administrative approach that supports local government. In the Vekllei Lunar Settlement and Space Station Veletia, the bureau conducts maintenance and improvements, and also manages affairs between councils in the settlements.
Although formal celestial and space diplomacy is conducted through the Parliament of State, the Bureau of Space may conduct regular trade and administrative actions on behalf of off-world settlements as a representative of Vekllei citizens in space. The bureau also generally manages or supports any day-to-day affairs of civilian space settlement, including interstellar transport routes and construction material delivery.
