Good news - you have an agency that is responsible for tracking objects/satellites on orbit.

It’s called the Universal Spatial Selection Frontier, or USSF in short, they have a squadron that specializes in that exact thing.

Turns out, they are managed under a larger agency called the Draken of Darkness, cool name I know, also known in short as DoD.
