The Alliance

The Alliance
A lumbering, ancient beuacracy, the Alliance has endured thousands of years of internal strife and external war. By and large, a fair enough government, but there's always room for corruption here or there, and have their fair share of dirty secrets.

From the top down, there is the Supreme High Chancellor, the most powerful person in the entire galaxy. He in turn, sits on top of a senate of thirty High Senators, who are usually the final say on most matters. Below them, there is the Office of Galactic Representation, for which each planet under Alliance control has at least one seat. Working in tandem to pass and postulate laws and edicts, is the Assembly of Representative, a body of six-hundred souls.

Lastly, there are planetary governors, who are affectively the leaders of the world they are stationed on. As long as inter-stellar laws and taxes are made, the Alliance does not often interfere in local planetary politics, each world often looks after its own needs. That being said, most worlds under their influence operate in a consistant fashion, usually lending to a very orderly array of system rule. This is one of their strengths.

The Alliance Navy is vast, and powerful. They do not have many enemies at the moment, but the innumerable ships are always ready to fly to the galactic borders, to settle disputes, provide aid to sympathetic factions under-going siege, or simply to remind everyone how powerful they still are.
