The administrative unit in the Alliance that registers vessels with originating tags by planet or polity. [1] Ships are tagged based on their originating planet within the Alliance unless they are government-owned, with the exception of the basic Alliance registration which can be requested by anyone.
Allied governments can request their tags also be registered in the BOV database, which cuts down on red tape and misunderstandings when different ships cross political boundaries. A ship might have a different call sign among its own nation (particularly in the case of alien nations, such as the Faulfenza), if that nation was already a spacefaring one before their encounter with the Alliance. In some cases, treaty partners do not cross-register (as with the Chatcaava).
Conventions:
- Liner - Usually operated by a business for passengers.
- Merchant - Usually operated by a business for cargo.
- Private - Usually registered by a person or for a single person's use.
