The Deep Galactic Trade Organization (DGTO, 深銀河貿易機構, Fuka ginga boueki kikou) are the major antagonists of AKB0048. They control planets such as Baltistar, Funghistar, Kasumigastar, LancastarSagittariusstar and Tundrastar and uses the Destroy Entertainment Soldiers (DES) to enforce their entertainment ban and their rule in the galaxy.

History[]

During the discovery of FTL technology and the subsequent discovery of Dualium and Kirara, the DGTO fought a war on Earth with supporters of the Kirara Drive which had left the planet completely devastated and countless other planets' surface destroyed by orbital bombardment. As a result, people had forced to flee planet Earth and resides in various planets.

Society and Culture[]

DGTO society is seen as both industrial and corporate, shunning the old values of entertainment and culture in the name of progress. They have become a brutal corporate oligarchy which enforces the ban with various degrees of severity. Places with Dualium rich deposits have harsher bans since they attract Kirara, while planets with less Kirara deposits are less harshly enforced. The colonization efforts also have a detirimental effect on the planets as they often conduct massive strip mining efforts and heavy industry to construct their empire.

The Entertainment Ban is enforced by the Destroy Entertainment Soldiers, consisting of a mix of armor, assault suits and power armored infantry supplied by the corporate oligarchy. The maximum sentence for defying the ban is 48 years in prison.

The press is tightly controlled by the empire, and the government only allows speech that supports it and the ruling organisation itself. Media reports in DGTO controlled planets are often one-sided and exaggerated, playing "little or no role in gathering and disseminating vital information true to facts" and providing propaganda for the regime. Only news that favour the regime is permitted, whilst news that covers the economic and political problems in the country or criticisms of the regime especially about entertainment ban and its related issue or the idol group AKB0048 itself from abroad is not allowed. Domestic media and the population itself are not allowed to carry or read stories by foreign media and can be punished for doing so.

Schools are mostly state schools and syllabus permitted by the government are allowed to be taught, including government policy, especially Entertainment ban. Strong patriotism is being nurtured in its people to show loyalty to the rising empire such as flying the empire's flag.

Economics[]

One of the major supporters of the DES and the DGTO is the Zodiac Corporation, a State-owned enterprise which produces military arsenal, fabrications and drones. DGTO also owned an illegal casino at their military base in Vegastar.
