Cybertron

## System of Government

### Cybertronian High Council

The High Council is the leading force in governing the citizens of Cybertron. First established by Nova Prime, it was formed during the Age of Expansion as a better way to smoothly establish the different colonies within the different uninhabited planets in their star system. This would later change, and become the main government force that rules in current-day Cybertron

#### Prime (Supreme Commander)

the highest ranking title to cybertronian society as a whole, carefully chosen by the citizens as well as the high council. The title of Prime is usually only given during times of war or sudden changes during the different eras of Cybertron's history. This individual would be bestowed upon the legendary artifact known as the Matrix of Leadership, giving him/her the same strength/knowledge of the past Primes before them. If any individual suddenly declares themselves as a Prime without the Matrix of Leadership, it would be seen as a sign of the highest level of disrespect and would be comparable to an act of treason. The 13 Primes are an exception to this as this tradition was made after the 13's era

##### Notable Primes:

* Guardian Prime- chosen during the Age of Wrath, Guardian Prime was the figurehead that jump-started the revolution that freed the Cybertronians from the tyrannical rule of the Quintessons
* Nova Prime- formerly known as Nova Major/Nova Magnus, he would bear the title of Prime after Guardian's death and lead the expeditions that would start the Age of Expansion
* Nominus Prime- he would be chosen after Nova's disappearance, his reign as a Prime is not remembered fondly, as he is the one who introduced the classist system that heavily oppresses the citizens of the impoverished states.
* Fire Prime- Nominus would later be overthrown as he fled after the Rust Plague spread all across Cyberton. Fire being a former Iacon Archivist himself, would aid in formulating a cure for the Rust Plague, which would later earn him the right of becoming a Prime.
* Sentinel Prime- After Fire Prime's retirement, Cybertron needed a new figurehead that would aid the newly formed council in overseeing this new Golden Age. Sentinel would be chosen, because of his exceptional results in leading the Cybertronian Elite Guard.
* Optimus Prime (The Great War)- As tensions between Megatron's loyal followers and the Autobot citizens continue to worsen, after Sentinel Prime's death. Orion finally accepted the Matrix of Leadership, leading the Autobot Resistance throughout the duration of the Civil War. Eventually sacrificing his own spark to return the life back to their dying planet
* Zeta Prime (Age of Peace)-
* Rodimus Prime (Unicron War)- Optimus Prime's true successor, initially rejecting the Matrix as he felt that he was unworthy of gaining the title. Rodimus would eventually step into the role, once the forces of Unicron's army grow to conquer Cybertron.

##### Prime Candidates:

* Big Bang

#### Magnus (Chief Commander)

normally the head figure of the council before a Prime is chosen, a Magnus serves as the main head of the Council and the second in command to the current Prime of the Era.
