Societies in the Elite Universe can be very diverse, because star systems can have many different government types and customs. This is mostly the case in the [[Alliance]] and independent systems where each system is governed independently with their own culture, values and government. | Societies in the Elite Universe can be very diverse, because star systems can have many different government types and customs.
