Interstellar Commerce Commission (Earth-7149)

"The thing to remember is there are going to be a lot of heavyweights in there. You've got the Interstellar Commerce Commission, Colonial Marshals, insurance company guys..."

- - Colonel Carter Burke to Ellen Ripley

The Interstellar Commerce Commission (ICC) is an American/British organization responsible for the regulation and monitoring of interstellar and intrastellar trade between colonies. Each and every commercial freighter must hold an ICC license for service, and each freighter has their own identification code. It is based on the 20th century's Interstate Commerce Commission of the United States.

History
In 2560, the ICC, alongside the Weyland-Yutani Corporation and one of its subsidiaries, the Concordance Extraction Corporation, interviewed Ellen Ripley, the former Warrant Officer of the USCSS Nostromo, one of the organization's registered ships, and who was the single survivor of two massacres that occured in the freighter and the outpost Con-Am 27 in 2552 and 2557. There, she tried to convince them of the existence of the xenomorphs, but it fell into deaf ears, as the ICC denied the existence of an alien species. The board of directors eventually decided she acted "with questionable judgement" and discharged her from service.
