The Combined Cooperatives of Tir'qa, also simply known as The Cooperatives, Tir'qa or CCT, is an expansive interstellar collective spanning across several star systems in the westernmost reaches of Unknown Space in the Milky Way Galaxy. It is officially organised as a federation of 19 'cooperatives', wherein each cooperative effectively represents an inhabited star system, with the largest and most populous being Tir'qa. In practice, much of its government, economy and defence is highly centralised under the Central Alignment Directorate. It is a one-party state controlled by the Directory of Cooperative Ascendancy. Its designated capital is Harmony, on the planet Kelth.
Whilst the CCT was initially founded to federalise Tir colony states, it has since expanded to include a diverse range of species across the systems it controls. The systems have predominantly been settled by the Tirqi, but the state also houses species such as the Kobuns (native to Ulqari), Rhee (native to Yvel), and Drapnids (native to Vajax). Outside of these systems, Tir'qa is one of the most isolated states in the galaxy with its' known closest neighbour beings tens of thousands of lightyears away. Despite this distance, the CCT is quite advanced technologically, with access to spacefaring technologies and short-range FTL travel. Although its' fleet is small, the Cooperative Integrated Systems Defence Network makes systems difficult to attack, and was vital for CCT survival against Celestial Army attacks during the Skirmishes of Outer Tir'qa.
