The Federal Assembly (Info & Roster)



bDalrjN.png


THE FEDERAL ASSEMBLY
Located in the historic Senate District of Galactic City, the Federal Assembly is the political stage and heart of democracy for the many worlds of the Galactic Alliance. Divided into three primary branches: the Senate, the Chamber and the Office of the Chancellor, it is through these institutions that the Alliance's politicians and representatives work tirelessly to promote the rights and freedoms of their people, establish and seek out new opportunities, and endeavor to restore the Core Region to its former glory.

The Senate is the legislative branch of the Galactic Alliance's federal government. It is made up of thousands of congressmen (senators & representatives) who represent sectors, systems, planets, and even powerful corporations & guilds within the Galactic Alliance’s borders. From the massive Senate Building at the center of the district, the members of the Senate commune regularly to deliberate on important topics, lobby for changes, and introduce, review & submit bills to the Office of the Chancellor to be signed into federal law.

In addition to these tasks, the Senate acts as a supervisory council that oversees the executive branches to ensure they’re conforming to the guidelines of the Common Charter. Because of the large numbers of congressmen and women present, countless committees and lesser councils exist throughout it that focus on specific topics and push for different agendas. However, among these small and often unimportant groups, several informal political factions have emerged and gained more significant recognition. The largest and most influential of these unofficial parties are organized along two axes of conflict and split into four groups.


The second and third branches of the Federal Assembly: the Chamber of Ministers & the Office of the Chancellor, operate out of the district's Executive Building and make up the federal government’s executive authority. The Chamber is composed of eight appointed Ministers who are selected by the Chancellor with the approval of the Senate. Each Minister oversees one of the Alliance's eight federal Ministries, which themselves govern specific domains of public administration. These domains are: State, Defense, Justice, Education, Health, Agriculture, Commerce & Intelligence. The Ministries and their respective chambermen coordinate with one-another to facilitate the day-to-day function of the Galactic Alliance and the many projects of the Federal Assembly.

The Office of the Chancellor, headquartered in the Chancellor's Suite of the Executive Building, consists of those members of the federal government who are directly subordinate to the Chancellor, and aid them with the administration of the government and its staff. Notably, the Office would include the Vice Chair & Staff Aide. The Chancellor serves as both the Head of State for the Federal Assembly and the Commander-in-Chief of the Defense Force, and holds the authority to sign legislation into law, veto bills that the Senate has approved, and issue executive orders on behalf of the Galactic Alliance. To ensure that members of the Office of the Chancellor are held accountable for their actions, the Senate maintains the constitutional right to initiate a 'Vote of No Confidence' should they conclude, beyond reasonable doubt, that the Office has failed to act in accordance with the Common Charter or against the best interests of the Galactic Alliance.

Political Factions
With the Alliance's survival through times where many other galactic superpowers faltered, political alignments fell on new axes. Worries of overextension are matched against optimism in the face of new frontiers and swathes of potential member worlds; the need for intervention and federal power are matched by concerns over sovereignty and centralization. For a slightly more in-depth exploration of the political axes, see our How To Senate Guide. From here, we'll look at the four corners of our political compass:

Isolationist Shepherds seek to remain careful of overextending the Alliance. In a chaotic galaxy, caution is key to success; waste not resources, do not interfere too much, and do not bring in too many members that may destabilize the Alliance.

Isolationist Stewards, though also seeking to regulate new membership and move with caution, are more ready to interfere in affairs both foreign and domestic that concern the Alliance. In order to quell the chaos of the galaxy and move towards a future with a larger Alliance, the Alliance must exercise its power properly -- cultural, economic, and military.

Expansionist Shepherds encourage worlds to become members and seek to expand the Alliance's borders, but without coercion or power as drawing forces. Eventually everyone will be welcomed by the Alliance, but should the Alliance exert too much power, it may drive off those who are different from us. Not everything is the Alliance's business, but everyone benefits from the Alliance's business.

Expansionist Stewards have a vision of an Alliance that expands not only its borders but its culture, its democracy, and its economy across the galaxy. The Alliance, now the largest power in the galaxy, should take the wheel and with steady hands steer to a better future.

There are some Senatorial votes that take place on our faction Discord server (#online-senate-votes). This is typically only done for minor topics that don't need to be as fleshed out with an In-Character thread on the board. Please join us there to have your say!

We strongly recommend choosing a species that is relevant to the planet you intend to represent when making a senator character. However, this is not mandatory.

Additionally, please note that there is a loose activity requirement for senator characters due to their limited quantity. If you have gone inactive by not posting in our senate threads for extended periods of time, it's possible that your character's seat will be put up for re-election. With that said, we understand that life takes priority and circumstances arise at the most inconvenient of times. If you are unable to post for a while, please reach out to the Faction Staff so that we can take that into consideration when updating the roster. Leadership roles are appointed by staff.

Sub Committees (Permanent or Temporary) of Standing Committees:

Sub Committees are smaller branches of larger committees tasked with oversight of narrower topics that would normally be overseen by the larger committees. Examples of this might be a subcommittee specifically for banking under the purview of the Committee of Finance & Commerce, allowing these members to hone in on areas of expertise.


Subcommittee on the Admission of New Members (Ministry of State) - hears petitions from planets seeking membership in the GA and votes to grant them full or associate membership (with the goal of gaining full membership once certain criteria are met).
Members:
Subcommittee on Planetary Development (Ministry of State) - administers short-term funding to planets within the GA to improve the living conditions of citizens and strengthen economic growth.

Subcommittee on Galactic Infrastructure (Ministry of Commerce) - Recommends infrastructural projects across Alliance territory and outside of it where it would strengthen trade. Designates proposed budgets for these projects.
Members:
Subcommittee on Foreign Interference (Ministry of State) - Investigates reports of state-driven aggravations and seeks action to ensure national security when these issues arise.
Members:
  • -Chair

TpwTGCN.png


Special Committees of the Senate:

Special committees of the senate are given the authority to oversee very narrow issues and are rarely given the freedom to explore topics that are not expressly in their jurisdiction. Their position in the senate can be permanent or temporary depending on their brief.


Special Committee on Force Affairs - Provides oversight, guidance, financial supervision, and representation for the New Jedi Order. The committee provides the same for force-sensitive criminals and prisoners of war.
Members:
  • Chancellor's Pick
  • N/A - [NJO Rep]
  • N/A - [NJO Rep]

TpwTGCN.png


Select (Temporary) Committees of the Senate:

Select committees are temporary committees given authority by the full Senate to investigate or oversee very specific topics. Unlike Special Committees which are often permanent due to their brief, Select Committees are more often temporary due to the investigative nature of their work. Once these select committees have met their mandate or their purpose is no longer necessary they give a report to the full Senate and disband.

Select Committee on the Peaceful Transition of Kuat (Expired)
This Select Committee was charged with overseeing the peaceful transition of power on Kuat and the just treatment of the previous rulers. This committee's mandate expired when Kuat accepted the rule of Julius Loghain in a free and fair election.

Active SENATE ACTIONS

TpwTGCN.png



Vote to grant clones autonomy and outlaw the creation of new sentient clones.
-Thread:
Guv'nor
-Description: As more worlds that still retain Imperial power are brought into the Alliance, the weight of clone's fate is heavy. On one hand, the benefits the Alliance could see from utilizing such resources would be infinite. On the other, there is a moral conundrum regarding the right to self-autonomy.
-Outcome: Passed. Ultimately, cloning was banned and all clones given the same options for full citizenship.


Vote to ban the production and utilization of disruptor weaponry without a government contract/license
- Outcome: Passed


Vote to establish the Outbound Flight Project
-Thread:
On the Rox
-Description: After the destruction of Csilla, the need to both chart and secure the Unknown Regions was paramount. This would not be solely a military operation; the Outbound Flight Project would consist of a combined civilian-NJO-military effort to explore the Unknown Regions and bring new members into the fold.
- Outcome: Passed

Vote to create the Galactic Alliance Credit
-Thread:
Denonination Doubts
-Description: The solvency of the Alliance came under threat as the value of the Galactic Standard Credit began to fluctuate. A proposal was put forth to create a new Alliance Credit, and explore alternatives to secure the value of the assets of all citizens.
-Outcome: Referred to the Finance and Commerce Committee, who recommended the creation of the Galactic Alliance Credit.

Vote to increase military spending and repeal ban on cloning

- Thread: Triq-or-Treat
- Description: With the looming threat of the Brotherhood of the Maw, particularly in the wake of the attack on Coruscant, defense spending bills have come once more to the forefront. The Senator of Bilbringi proposed a bill to help strengthen planetary defense forces and repeal cloning. After a heated debate, the latter part of the bill was removed.
- Outcome: Passed


Vote for the Southern Interplantary Linkages (SILK) Trade Route Act

- Thread: Sharing is Kayri-ng
- Description: The sudden collapse of the Confederacy has left the southern systems in disarray. Vital manufacturing worlds, important cultural centres, and untold natural resources are now open to incursion and influence by hostile governments. The SILK Trade Route will reconnect these worlds to bring safety, stability and prosperity back to the region. With the GADF stretched thin in its war against the Brotherhood to the west and the SIA countering the NIO threat to the north, it is proposed that the responsibility for developing and operating the SILK Trade Route is granted to allied corporations, who have clear commercial interests to quickly and effectively open up the region.
- Outcome: Passed


Vote for investigation on Denon and limitations on corporate ownership of planets
-Thread:
Ophideraan The Schedule
-Description: A peaceful protest outside Sakedo Tower on Denon turned violent, with CorpSec officers using excessive force against the protesters, who then began to fight back. The Alliance must respond to this clear violation of sentient rights. This bill proposes a response plan and resolutions to prevent anything similar from happening again. Resolutions include:

  • An official statement from the Galactic Alliance condemning the actions of the CAD and their security forces.
  • Empowerment of Alliance Marshals and SIA to investigate the events of the riot and the current state of affairs on Denon.
  • Increased restriction on corporate stewardship of Alliance worlds by any corporate entity.
  • Strengthen antitrust laws, particularly in relation to ownership of planets and property.
Outcome: Passed

- Thread
: Bacta the Future
- Description: Distracted by war, the Alliance has left humanitarian efforts to the wayside. The commissioning of a dedicated relief fleet for Alliance humanitarian efforts.
a. Ships should be donated to the Alliance from member worlds
b. Staff should be volunteers who perform rotations of duty
c. Services to be offered to any planet suffering from aftereffects of war, lack of medical personnel and supplies on their world
d. Funding to maintain the fleet should become part of the Health and Wellness budget as set aside by the Alliance Budget and through donation drives.
Outcome: Passed


Vote to censure the member for Skako

- Thread: Commen'or Leaving?
