Broad question about "Star Control" organization

The corporate overlords had detected a trend in reduced profit had decided to invest in creating a space exploration and mining venture to increase their bottom line.  probably not that but it's a viable answer.

I'm sure that with everything going on right now about the the legal rights to the intellectual property and how Stardock plans to incorporate them, this may be totally reworked, but I do remember a lot of the original details that Paul Reiche wrote about the back story of Earth's introduction into the conflict.

If you revisit the original 1990 game manual for SC1, there is a narrative excerpt of Earth’s entry into the Alliance of Free Stars. Aside from that, there wasn’t a whole lot said about how Star Control operated independently on Earth before joining the Alliance. Paul Reiche did not go into abundant detail on it.

I always imagined it to be fundamentally the same idea as Starfleet in Star Trek, basically an interplanetary (and later interstellar) extension of the navy and air force. Similarly to Star Trek, the countries of Earth were united into a global government in the aftermath of a cataclysmic war. The “high provost” of the government was named Ivana Or-Kochov and was essentially the president or prime minister of Earth who signed the treaty to join the Alliance, although I guess she was technically separate from Star Control or any other armed forces.

Keep in mind that even Paul retconned some details of the canon between SC1 and SC2. For example, there were adjustments made to when the story took place. SC1 was originally set several centuries further in the future than SC2. Many background details of the story were told in an anecdotal format in the manuals and and it’s challenging to refer to a single accurate timeline between the two games.

I've a feeling that since SCO predates SC1 and it's a reboot anyway, all this canon is likely to be rebooted and/or reworked as well.

The intro text for SCO gives me this image in my head for how Star Control's director would be someone like Werner Locksmith from Planetes. Absolutely driven in his ambition of seeing humanity reach out further and further into the universe, whatever the cost in wealth, sweat, and blood.

Star Control was formed after the departure of the “Synths” also known as the Lexites. When they left, they gave the world an ominous warning that danger was coming and they did not plan to stay for it. 

The primary mission of Star Control is to find out what happened to the Lexites and protect Earth from any extraterrestrial dangers (which has to do with some findings on Ceres).

It is an international organization with members from most nations represented.

So is all this going to be covered solely in-game or does Stardock plan on releasing some additional media, whether it be in the form of trailers or (very) short stories or the like to flesh out their interpretation of the universe?

Hoping for Star Control shirts, hats and patches (the organization logo more than the game logo) to be sold or given away via contests or some such.  

Beyond that, I'd love for more lore about Star Control's structure to be released.  Ranks, internal branches (Corridor Nine, etc).  I'd just like an idea about how the organization's set up.  

We will get that taken care of
