Universe 11 was a unified universe, with an organization similar to Universe 7's Galaxy Alliance governing the entire cosmos.
But beneath that unity, criminal organizations kept springing up throughout the universe.
Thus, dealing with these criminal organizations was one of the Pride Troopers' main duties in Universe 11.
