Galactic Federation

The Galactic Federation was the political entity that succeeded the Earth Empire as the dominant galactic power.

Philosophy and Mission
The Federation was designed to ensure peaceful relations between the many species in the galaxy, with emphasis on cooperation rather competition in matters of trade and policy. It was formed to help the unstable economy of the Galaxy after the collapse of the Earth Empire.

Governance
The headquarters of the Federation was located on Alpha Centauri in 3375, though Jupiter's moon Io was eventually chosen as the Federation Chair. (MA: The Dark Path)

Each member of the Federation took a chairmanship for a limited term. Any decision must be made by majority vote. (MA: The Dark Path)

Law
The Federation 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. (DW: The Curse of Peladon, The Monster of Peladon)
