Does an organization like this exist in Starfinder?

Is there some organization like Amnesty International or the like: something like the "Society For Sentient Creature's Rights"? I figure they would exist on multiple planets and be LG be default but probably allow any non-evil people to join.

The Android Abolitionist Front is a canon organization attempting to free the many androids still in slavery. They seem more CG than LG, but they are fighting for at least some sapient creature's rights.

The Knights of Golarion are an offshoot of the church of Iomedae (LG). They work as protectors for humans and all the 'children of Golarion' among other things. One would assume at least some of that is attempting to protect the rights of sapient creatures.

The Starfinder Society has an alignment and missions all over the Neutral to Good map. At least officially they don't allow evil members. Some of what they do is look for and make contact with sapient creatures.

The Stewards are closer to LN, I think, but LG might be valid. They're essentially a combination of Interpol/FBI, the Coast Guard, and the State Department. But they're closer to a government organization than a non-profit like AI. At least some of what they do is protecting the rights of sapient creatures.

Those are the only canon organizations I can think of that are close. But I'm hoping for more organizations in future Pact Worlds style books. There's a Near Space book coming out in March, maybe we'll get lucky and the Veskarium or Hobgoblin empire has something like that.

Speaking of which, maybe my brain is escaping me, but what are the pact-wide laws? Are there any? I know that for the most part the laws depend on the planet/station you are on.

I would say that the "pact-wide laws" count at Absalom and the space between the planets of the Golarian system as well as the protectorates without a own unified government (Diaspora etc.).
Also, as far as I understand it, the "pact-wide laws" even count on the planets, as long as the planet hasn't it's own laws which overrules them.

@Topic: I would go with the Knights of Golarian if you are looking for THE "good guys".


The Church of Sarenrae would also be very much in this territory.
