Economic Coalition of Terran Corporations

The Economic Coalition of Terran Corporations (ECTC) is a collective of eight MegaCorporations and a promise that if any of them were to be attacked by a non-Human alien threat, all the MegaCorps would join forces and enter an uneasy alliance to defeat the alien menace. It was in existence before and during the time of the Democratic People's Republic of Ipith (DPRI) but eventually lost the majority of its old power and fell to the DPRI and smaller companies whose populations escaped into the depths of space to avoid falling victim to the DPRI.
