The Star League is a major interstellar government from the movie, The Last Starfighter.
Attributes
The Star League appears to be a democratic government with government offices on the planet Rylos. Only one government official (the Star League President) was seen, but representatives of several different races were seen in the League's starfighter base on Rylos.
Military Recruitment
The Star League uses an electronic test, referred to as the "Excalibur test", to determine if potential recruits would make good gunners for their Gunstar starfighters. These tests are used by independent recruiting agents. These agents seem to have a large degree of freedom in their actions, though there are laws regulating their activities (such as not administering the Excalibur test on planets that are not yet League members). No matter how new gunners are recruited, there appears to be a financial bounty paid to the agent for every recruit they bring in to Starfighter Command.
At least one of their agents, Centauri, is known for his less then honest methods in recruiting new "starfighters". He has more then once used the Excalibur test in less then legal methods of recruitment. Most recently he invented a new test for use on worlds not yet inducted into the Star League, a human technology video game.
Threat Assessment
Star League territory is protected by an energy barrier known as the Frontier. Internal threats are handled by the League's fleet of Gunstars. There is no evidence of any other major League military assets. The League does not appear to be interested in expansion, and worlds within its territory that are relatively undeveloped are left alone until they "mature".
