Interstellar governments are the most standard of interstellar factions . As planetary governments reach space colonization technology, they tend to spread their respective political ideology to other inhabited planets and grow into interstellar governments. They have their own fleets of spaceships, private security forces, completely govern themselves and do not subject to any other government.

Goals
The main goal of a political ideology driven faction is spreading their form of government and ensuring the happiness and prosperity of their citizens. Or at least that is usually the goal that is communicated to their citizens. But often the government officials themselves mainly want to secure their own power.
This is the main goal and truth, resources, individuality, religion and freedom of its inhabitants might be sacrificed for the good of this goal, depending on the type of government.
