Galactic Council of Alliances/Pre-2254

The Galactic Council of Alliances, also referred to as the Council of the Milky Way, was the governing body of the Eclipse Empire. It consisted of many galactic councillors who represented the many worlds of the galaxy, and was led by the current Clan President of the Eclipse Empire that was elected by and from the representatives. Its primary concern was mediating disputes between varying worlds and dictating the laws and regulations necessary to maintain the Eclipse Empire.
=== Powers ===
The Galactic Council would serve as the primary ruling body of the Eclipse Empire, possessing the authority to levy taxes, declare war, declare free trade zones and manage almost every action necessary to preserve the stability of the Empire. Despite its vast authority, it did not prosecute offenders, leaving the judicial system in the hands of the Presidency Council and peacekeeping efforts largely in the hands of the Eclipse High Council.
=== Security ===
The Galactic Council's security force is the Shock Trooper Guardsmen where they also serve as a special assault unit for the Eclipse Army, but rarely see combat. During the Sol Civil War, the Guardsmen were called to defend every known Galactic Council installation and building as well as safeguarding Galactic Councillors.
