The Allech-Atreus UN Office, located on the remote Brackthan's Asteroid, is the headquarters and liason between the rest of existence and the sprawling intergalactic Empire. The very existence of the UN itself is a closely guarded state secret, for a variety of cultural and security reasons.
Currently, the Delegate to the UN is Landaman Pendankr dan Samda, the Marquis of Khaylamnian Samda, and third cousin to the Emperor.
Involvement
Allech-Atreus came into contact with the UN, and ultimately the outside world, when scientists opened a portal on Brackthan's Asteroid, connecting to the Union of Independent States. After joining that Union and rediscovering the outside world, the Imperial government joined the UN.
Policy
The official government policy is to suppress any knowledge of the UN, or the Union of Independent Nations for that matter. Official policy holds that is the knowledge that there exist worlds and nations outside of the scope of Imperial power or knowledge would cause chaos and rebellion within the Empire, where citizens are taught the supremacy of the Empire and the inevitability of it's domination of all life.
With the Imperial government being the preeminent disseminator of information throughout its dominion, and the with the incredible number of citizens under its sovereignty, it is not difficult to suppress the goings-on at an obscure station well outside Imperial space (Brackthan's Asteroid is located outside the bounds of Imperial space, in an isolated part of the omniverse).
However,the upper echelons understand the importance of membership in the UN, and as such appoint powerful, important, and trustworthy figures to head embassies and delegations to both the NSUN and other nations. The relationship between the delegates and their handlers has led to some friction, however, but despite this the Empire continues to delve deeper into UN involvement, recently joining the NSO.
The Thanmazhal Incident
The Empire only recently began sending delegates to the UN, and Landaman Pendankr, the current delegate, was preceeded by some five delegates. However, not all delegates had the same powers or privileges. In fact, the previous delegates became quite powerful, wielding influence and using their votes to gain strngth for themselves. This culminated in Likhmar Thanmazhal, the Marquis of Abdian Qulda, who was "assasinated" (liquidated by Imperial forces) in the very hall of the UN, while in his offices.
Thanmazhal had voted multiple times in the UN for proposals that weakened the sovereignty and government of the Empire, which gained the ire of the Lord Provost, who eventually became fed up with Thanmazhal and his stylings, and had him killed. The Star Chamber scaled back the delegate's powers, reducing him to nothing more than an Imperial mouthpiece. Thanmazhal was replaced with Landaman Pendankr, the Baron of Khaylamnian Samda, and the 3rd cousin of the Emperor.
