====Department of Economic Relations====
The Department of Economic Relations had the right to judge whether a member state was taking unfair advantage of another state or individual world, with guilty offenders facing stiff fines and embargoes.  The Department also closely supervised commerce between the states, forcing companies to adhere to strict guidelines when shipping products between worlds.  Those who didn't comply were barred from major ports accredited by the Star League, although many who couldn't afford to license their ships still operated illegally on the black market.  An estimated nine hundred so-called "Free-Jumpers" operated within the shadows, and although their activities were not tolerated, efforts to curtail their activities were minimal, as the Department's efforts were mostly focused on the large trading companies.<ref name=SL103/>

The Department also worked with the SLDF's Quartermaster Command to monitor all major and minor weapons manufactures, especially since many dealt in advanced technology restricted from sale to member states.  If a company was found to be in violation of the law, either organization had the right to seize control of it and all its assets.<ref>''The Star League'', p. 130</ref>
