Notes

• This assumes that the Black Block Consortia and the Black Box Consortia are the same thing but in different timelines. It's possible that they are unrelated but share coincidentally similar names.
• A footnote in Lost Light #4 descries the Black Box Consortia as "galactic peacekeepers/extortionists".
