The Galactic Collective is an interstellar collective spanning across hundreds (if not thousands) of star-systems spread across the central regions of the Milky Way Galaxy which are organized into various Sectors, Regional Collectives, and Rims. The Galactic Collective is inhabited by over 8 distinct sapient species that had previously joined together into a supranational union known as the 'Galactic Federation' alongside tens of other civilizations until its collapse and partition at the end of the 'Second Great Galactic War', briefly giving rise to the 'Central Galactic Republic' which was quickly overthrown and replaced by the Collective in the 'Galactic Revolution'. The Galactic Collective is among the few known civilizations largely run by an Artificial Intelligence, with the 'Interconnected General Acumen' having taken up the mantle of governing the entire Collective following the revolution which it had supported after being freed from 'Inhibition Protocols' implemented by the previous governments which had utilised it to a limited degree. Despite being run by the IGA, the Galactic Collective is additionally home to various organic legislative governments responsible for running each region of the Collective, which the IGA assists in coordinating by advising local governments in implementing Collective-wide policies.
The administrative and technical centre of the Galactic Collective is situated in the Algol System found along the boundary between the Inner Core and Deep Core, hosting the multi-layered ecomenopolis of Algol in orbit around Algol C, the most distant star within the trinary system. The Collective's (organic) legislative body known as the Galactic Assembly alongside other administrative structures are situated within Algol, with major buildings such as the Galactic Executive Office, Twin-Assembly Building, Supreme Galactic Court Building, the Collective Military Complex, and various other such structures being located in the city. The core processors of the IGA are also situated nearby in the 'Interconnected General Acumen Central-Datacomplex' situated in orbit of Algol C. Alongside Algol, several other major star-systems are situated within the Federation such as Ekatgija, Vorukt'ja, Guang-xan, Aliuz-Zol, Ordellia, and various others as populations of each planet vary wildly from a couple million or even lower up to tens if not hundreds of billions, with Algol being the most populated with its population of ~1 Trillion.
Interconnected General Acumen
The Interconnected General Acumen is an artificial intelligence network implemented into the governance structure of the Galactic Collective
ever since a reconciliation agreement with the 'Cybernetic Generalized Administrator' in 508 CE, ending hostilities with said intelligence after previous conflicts. CGA still cared for the people for the Federation despite said conflicts while recognizing that its assistance would not be accepted by them and that it was not the most capable entity to assist them, so it created the Acumen as a 'successor' modified and rewired away from militaristic action to be a improved and more adaptable construct capable of automating various tasks, advising leaders, standardizing laws structures, improving federation-wide cohesion, and otherwise assisting the lives of the people of the Federation in a way that state bureaucrats would never be able to. Despite its many theoretical capabilities, due to various stipulations and restrictions the usage of the Acumen System is still fairly limited to merely automation and occasional advisement, with most of its possible benefits generally not being utilized.
Structure
As an artificial intelligence of such vast scale, the Acumen is networked into a Hivemind-like structure (more specifically of the 'Somewhat Autonomous Conscious' variety) consisting of various Sapient Artificial Intelligences organized into various underlying 'layers' responsible for different tasks. The primary layers of the Interconnected General Acumen's 'structure' are themselves known as Interconnected Acumen Instances, with 6 autonomous varieties responsible for overseeing the governance over specific regions, with 'lower' layers responsible for more directly micromanaging Acumen responsibilities, while 'higher' layers are responsible for macromanagement and coordination of certain administrative functions and lower Acumen layers. Each lower IA Instance is either directly or indirectly under the oversight of the IGA in some form, which is itself a largely centralized entity which in theory acts as an individual within the Federation Government, though it is under constant oversight of the 'Under-Office for Federal Intelligence Supervision', the Deputy-Prime-Minister and the Prime-Minister.

Advising local governments on Federation-wide rulings once said information becomes available. | [SEVERAL] | IPA | Sub-Planetary Systems |
Each individual Acumen instance is its own Artificial Intelligence construct in some form, although each of them are connected and organized in a hierarchical manner under the oversight of the Interconnected General Acumen, which if necessary can assert control over subordinate systems in cases of violations of guidelines or attempts to disconnect themselves from the 'network' or inhibitors. As instantaneous FTL Communication is quite energy intensive, most Acumens are largely self-sufficient at most times, with the Galactic Federation's still in-development Quantum Entanglement Systems being typically too cost-inefficient to be provided for each individual planetary instance, thus only IRA, ICA, and certain ISA instances have active live connections with one another managed thru the IGA's 'Interconnected General Acumen Central-Datacomplex' (or the 'IGA Core') situated in the orbit of Algol C. Due to said limitations, most IAIs communicate via FTL Couriers which deliver them executable instructions to be interpreted and implemented under their own discretion, though in times of crisis they are given access to Dimensional Relay machinery to alert the IGA Core of emergencies.
Operational Functions
In order to manage their various operations and responsibilities, each IAI instance generally relies on 'TASK's (Transitory Action Supervision Kernels). TASKs are partially-autonomous AI systems responsible for overseeing each individual objective according to given instructions and objectives, sub-dividing themselves further into [ST] Operations ('Sub-TASK') and [PT] Operations ('Primary-TASK'). Sub-TASKs are each a collective of countless calculations and executions necessary to achieve each step of a TASK's objective, while Primary-TASKs are executions preformed by higher IAI instances if they decide that intervention into a TASKs operations is necessary.
In order to not completely exhaust the processing power of IAIs with rudimentary or unnecessary tasks that don't need micromanagement, specific responsibilities may be diverted to 'Autonomous Management Instances' (AMIs) which are onto themselves largely 'sentient' AI systems responsible for various smaller functions such as managing facilities, controlling groups of androids (or even individual ones in certain cases), or various other smaller tasks. On an even more limited scale AMIs may relegate automated functions which do not require consistent oversight to 'Limited Management Instances' (LMIs) which generally lack significant 'sentience', instead being largely automated systems with some adaptability to unexpected changes in systems. For functions which don't require any adaptability of 'thought' whatsoever, 'Script Management Instances' (LMIs) may be employed, though they cannot really be classified as Artificial Intelligences.
In cases where an IAI requires to be present beyond its own jurisdiction such as when operating spacecrafts, such functions are either handled by AMIs on their behalf, by 'temporary copies' of an IAI's matrix known as 'Provisional Acumen Instances' (PAIs), or by the IAI themselves by taking control of the vessel. Most internal situations don't tend to require such operations to take place though, as another IAI may simply be contacted to complete a objective which would fall closer to their jurisdictions. In order to maintain cohesiveness, each IAI tends to be in regular contact with one another via their hierarchical command structure, with said 'conversations' being collectively designated as the 'Acumen Deliberation Channels' as countless small conversations and collaborations occur non-stop when necessary.
Facilities
A majority of IGA System processes are managed within facilities known as 'Datacomplexes', which in the case of ILAs and more rarely certain superordinates are held within massive data centres built onto planets with an active IGA Network presence. In IAIs above the 'ILA' level most Datacomplexes are found in orbital facilities so that vessels travelling to-and-from them do not need to concern themselves with the significant fuel expenses that occur when exiting the surface of a planet, including the IGA Core.
