=== The Galactic Council: The United Galactic Federation (Lilo & Stitch)===

King: The Galactic Council

The Galactic Council is a sprawling legislative body composed of dignitaries from a thousand worlds. Androids, reptilians, mammalians, mollusks, all known forms of sentient life can be found represented in the raucous throngs of representatives aboard the GalFed’s enormous flagship. Such as it is, corralling such an immensely large governing body is no mean feat, and thankfully, a number of influential voices have emerged from the faceless crowd to propose consensus and mediate between disparate interests.

* The Grand Councilwoman is the de facto head of state for the Galactic Federation. Although her powers are limited and her position largely ceremonial, her shrewd diplomacy and austere presence holds sway over the entirety of the Galactic Council. Whenever councilmen butt heads, all heads immediately turn to the matronly Grand Councilwoman to resolve the dispute. The Councilwoman acts as the face of the Federation in all foreign affairs, meeting with leaders from rival polities and drafting treaties, trade agreements, and accords with the approval of the Council. If ever a party does anything on a scale large enough to earn the GalFed’s attention, it can be assured they will be met by the Councilwoman soon enough.

* Minister of Defence Gantu is much less adept at negotiation than the Grand Councilwoman. He is, however, a very very large man with a very very large gun, and so his fellow officials tend to agree with him anyway. As commanding officer of the GalFed’s military division, the hawkish Gantu has no patience for the bickering of the Council, and fears that with enemies surrounding the fragile alliance on all sides, their indecision may spell the end of the Federation as they know it. If ever the Council passes legislature that Gantu viewed as an excessive impediment to the war effort, the GalFed could very well face a military coup.

* Although the Bureau of Planetary Conservation was once considered a laughably obscure office of the GalFed, recent affairs involving primitive worlds such as Earth have brought it into the spotlight of galactic affairs. Minister Pleakley, though lacking the presence of Gantu or the charisma of the Grand Councilwoman, has managed to exert influence over GalFed policy regarding the treatment of indigenous life forms, in part thanks to a particular brand of exuberant enthusiasm for his field of research. With more and more of the Federation’s limited resources diverted by the eccentric Plorgnarian towards ecological preservation efforts, he has made himself a powerful enemy in Minister Gantu and earned the ire of militarists among the Council.  

Land: The United Galactic Federation

The Galactic Federation is widely known as “The Sick Man of the Galaxy”, and not without good reason. Though the once-proud alliance still retains the trappings of the dignity it once commanded, not even its borders are respected by the newer entities that have cropped up in defiance of its claim to sole galactic authority. Hostile craft come and go as they please within their borders, and much of the sectors they claim jurisdiction in are actually hotly contested warzones over which they have only limited control. Between incursions from their enemies and local insurrections by former member races departing the ailing Federation like rats off a sinking ship, they continue to lose territory just as fast than their strained military can recapture it. All it would take to crumble the anemic Galactic Federation would be a single decisive defeat at the right point. 

With the threats outside their borders absorbing much of the attention of their armed forces, internal criminal elements have grown bolder flaunting the Federation’s laws. Illegal genetic research thrives in the wake of the criminal genius Jumba Jookiba’s breakthroughs in the creation of artificial organisms, spawning a new breed of criminal armed with gene mods to make themselves faster, smarter, stronger, and more deadly than ever before. Roving gangs terrorize solar systems, taking as they please and ruthlessly exploiting helpless primitives the Federation has failed to establish adequate protections for. Some rumours speak of an army of twisted creatures --living weapons-- gathered in silence by a former colleague of Jookiba’s, who plots to lie in wait until the time is right to rise up and seize what remains of the once proud federation for his own personal empire.  

Rule: Nobody Gets Left Behind 

With its eons of history, the Galactic Federation is steeped in an eternity's worth of legislature. Bylaws on top of bylaws make even civilian transport between nearby worlds an excursion through mountains of paperwork. Some joke that if ever the military failed to hold the line, the armies of bureaucrats employed by the GalFed would be more than enough to bury the enemy in bodies. The Galactic Federation’s insistence on maintaining a presence on every single world under its control has stretched it to its limits and made it no shortage of homegrown enemies who reject their intrusive meddling in planetary affairs. Regardless, the patronizing Galactic Council continues to see itself as sole caretakers of all that lies within their borders, insisting that they know what’s best for the federation even as it burns to the ground around them.
