Federation Sector

The United Confederation of Human Planets, known colloquially as the Federation, is a democratic alliance of planetary governments. To be a full member, a planet must have at least a million people and not be a colony or dependency of any other government. The Federation Assembly is the governing and lawmaking body. All laws passed are subject to review by the High Council, composed of five representatives from each Federation member world. The method of choosing representatives is left to each individual planetary government. Enforcement of Federation law is carried out by the Space Rangers, the law enforcement and patrol arm of the Federation. Individual worlds are responsible for their own planetary defenses, but the Federation also maintains military capability through the Space Marines. The Federation is currently engaged in a fierce territorial conflict with the Phoenix Domain.
