Galactic Federation

The Galactic Federation was the political entity that succeeded the Earth Empire as the dominant Earth-led galactic power. Humans, Draconians, Alpha Centaurans, Ice Warriors and Arcturans were all members of the Federation. The headquarters of the Federation were located on Io.

Philosophy and Mission
The Federation was designed to ensure peaceful relations between the many species in the galaxy, with emphasize on cooperation rather competition in matters trade and policy.

Law
Federation law allowed for only unanimous decisions so when an issue is put to the vote all must agree. The federation also guaranteed full planetary sovereignty to its member worlds, meaning that the federation council could not interfere with the local laws and customs of individual planets.
