The Origin colonial authority is formed from founding corporation Alexylva Paradox, The Origin Colonial Authority and The Office of Central Reconnaissance. The Colonial authority was unceremoniously founded around mid-YC 115 during first establishment of planetside habitation on Renaissance in order to better manage the planned colonisation effort on various planets. It would soon find its present resources stretched thin by establishment of Foundation on Renaissance.
With the creation of the first city in the Origin System the Colonial Authority needed to expand its capabilities and resources. As a result the Council of Directors was established with assistance of Alexylva Paradox, a new division of authority was established splitting existing command structure into three branches: Alexylva Paradox, The Origin Colonial authority and Office of Central Reconnaissance.

==Alexylva Paradox==
The capsuleer corporation. Since the governmental reform Paradox is responsible of majority of spacebound assets such as orbital customs facilities, starbases and various other related infrastructure. The corporation is also responsible for the system’s safety and security from hostile capsuleer corporations. The wider Colonial Authority interacts with Paradox primarily in an advisory manner, consulting with the capsuleers in their decision making, leaving most of the decisions up to the Corporation’s dedicated leadership of directors and sub-coordinators.

==Origin Colonial Authority==
The Colonial Authority’s responsibility is not only governance of the wider populace but also the related infrastructure and institutions. The authority is lead by a representative council of experts and representatives of different demographics present in Origin, numbering roughly 300.
While at first glance the Colonial Authority’s role is seemingly purely administrative, their influence reaches further than most think. As the council’s experts manage anything from new road building and water reclamation to aiding various research groups and organizations in origin, such as the Radio telescope on Renaissance’s moon Synesthesia.

==Office of Central Reconnaissance==
The OCR is responsible of majority of the intelligence gathering and protection of Origin’s citizens from internal and external threats in a manner akin to their larger empire equivalents such as the Federal Intelligence Office. While their primary function is protection of Origin’s citizens they do not report to Colonial authority and are maintained under the sole supervision of Saede Riordan, only giving peripheral support to Colonial authority and Alexylva Paradox.

+===The Digital Council===
 The Digital Council is a virtually run cellular democracy. Within this system, each localized area, of about 500-1000 people form a clan, district, or other bottom level governmental organisation of which they mostly run, tax, and enforce laws themselves. The voters in the district elect a council. The small size of districts allows for more informed voters at a smaller cost. Representatives, plus one alternate, are elected to the council. This is a 'first order' council. A region containing 10 to 20 neighborhood districts then vote for a "Second Order Council". Each first order council elects a regular representative and an alternate to the second order council from its own regular membership. This system continues upward to the top level, with planetary regions submitting representatives who become elected members of the Board of Coordinators, who legislate the system at a federal level. The majority of the legal activity within Origin occurs within the digital council, with districts and clans setting their own laws, taxes, and policies for their communities on a local level, leading to a libertarian upper government.
-=The Board of Coordinators=
+===The Board of Coordinators===
 The Board of Coordinators exists partly of positions chosen by the directorate of the Alexylva Paradox on basis of merit, partly elected by the Digital Council, and partly chosen by the Scientific Conclave. The overall policy of the system is decided by the board of coordinators. A 90% consensus is required in order to enact policy at this level, with the goal being to limit the overall power of the Federal system and encourage policy based on objectivity and scientific understanding.
-=The Scientific Conclave=
+===The Scientific Conclave===
 The Scientific Conclave is a hierarchic system with positions chosen by merit and talent within its positions. Roles within the conclave are appointed based on knowledge and skill, with the goal being to put the person best qualified for a position into that position. The Conclave runs the larger scientific ventures of the system, as well as managing resource distribution, property management, and transportation infrastructure. Funding for the Conclave is provided by the Board of Coordinators. The Scientific Conclave also oversees the Sentient Equilibrium, and establishes management directives for it.
-=The Judicial Convention=
+===The Judicial Convention===
 The Judicial Convention is responsible for the enforcement of laws set down by the Board of Coordinators, and includes judges, police forces, rehabilitation centres, and prisons. The top tier of the Judicial Convention is the Grand Judiciary, chosen by the Sentient Equilibrium, with the power to overrule and strike down laws created by either the Digital Council, or the Board of Coordinators, if those laws are found to be in violation of human rights and freedoms established in the Exodus Charter.

+===The Sentient Equilibrium===
 The Sentient Equilibrium is a strong AI overseen by the Scientific Conclave, whose purpose is to oversee the management of automated systems, ensure fair rights are granted to nonhuman intelligences, and acting in an advisory capacity to both the Board of Coordinators and the Digital Council overall.

		+	=Governing Documents=
		+	The legal system for the Origin system is laid out in a series of publicly available documents established by the Alexylva Paradox and later by the population of Origin.
		+
		+	===Corporate Policy Agreement===
		+	The Corporate Policy Agreement of the Alexlyva Paradox is a set of basic employee agreements governing behaviour of corporate employees. The policy agreement is far more basic then that of most megacorporations, and is established with each employee acting as a subcontracted entrepreneur. These agreements govern day to day policy of the Alexylva Paradox, and dictate chain of command, conflict mediation, corporate law, and other vital functions. These documents apply exclusively to Paradox employees, and are a signed agreement made between the employee and the company. They do not apply to the majority of the Origin colonists.
		+
		+	===Exodus Charter===
		+	The Exodus Charter is the legal backbone of the Origin system. Co-written by over 23,000 colonists over the Origin Colonial Subnet, and ratified by 75% of the population in late YC115, it dictates the operation of the core functions of government. Beginning with the most basic functions and powers of the branches of government, rights of the citizens, and the legal system, it extends out to encompass all areas of government operation. Tax laws, penal codes, land rights, and the various offices of the Colonial Authority, are all detailed out within the Exodus Charter. The Charter is considered a living document, and regularly scheduled and organised citizen referendums modify the charter on a frequent basis.

		+	The [[Origin]] System is a privately funded independent colony settled by the Alexylva Paradox in YC115. Lacking an official designation, much of the government of Origin remains in an ad-hoc state, and it has yet to be recognized as a legitimate government by other nations. The government itself acts as primarily a mediator and equalizer among the largely independent colonists and colony projects of the system.
