One Piece Galaxy: The GGG
The Grand Galactic Government, or GGG, is the largest governing body in the galaxy. A league of governments spanning all four arms, they directly or indirectly control life everywhere. While they do keep things relatively safe and orderly for most people, they're also a merciless dictatorship that quells dissent with overwhelming force when displeased. Corruption runs rife in their leadership, and they possess the greatest concentration of military might in the galaxy. Any planet or ship that doesn't accept their management is considered a dangerous rogue element. These are the sworn enemies of all space pirates.
Rex Galactus
The de jure ruler of the galaxy. The title of Rex belongs to the leader of the GGG, who has absolute executive power across all of the Government's territories. The current Rex, Rex Marcellus, is a 16-year-old human boy who inherited the title following the assassination of his father. In his case, and in fact in many cases, the power he holds is surprisingly empty.
The Council of Eight
The actual rulers of the galaxy. A governing body of four humans and four Raiam, the Council does nearly all of the actual governing, with the Rex as a figurehead who exists merely to carry out their will. The Council of Eight are the ones with all the actual power.
The Galactic Navy
The largest space armada in existence. The immense power of the GN is the primary tool that the GGG uses to enforce its rule of law. Space pirates will often find themselves crossing blades and exchanging fire with the GN to avoid capture and execution under the GGG's tyrannical anti-piracy laws. The GN's ships are generally huge, slow, ugly, and covered in guns, overwhelming their enemies with sheer firepower.
The Space Marines
The words "space marine" strike fear into the heart of all enemies of the GGG. Every marine is among the galaxy's greatest warriors, augmented with bioengineering and given the best training and weaponry that money can buy. A single space marine is a threat equivalent to a heavy GN battleship, and a space marine commander is on the level of fighting an entire militarized star system. Space marines are sent to deal with the greatest threats to galactic order, such as powerful pirate crews or rogue planetary governments. As a space pirate, if you see a marine, don't try to fight. Scatter, all of you fleeing in different directions, and hope against hope that some of you survive the encounter. The leader of the space marines is a figure shrouded in mystery, but under them are the commanders of the five space marine chapters, one for each arm and one for the Core and the Grand Line. While nearly all space marines are humans, one of the five commanders is a Raiam equipped with space marine weapons and training, a combination too invincible to even imagine slowing down, let alone defeating.
