Interstellar Relations
The High Senate is isolationist and pacifistic, though it maintains powerful, well-equipped armed forces. It is reluctant to intervene in the affairs of other worlds, but its naval- forces vigorously defend free interstellar trade and patrol as far as 5 parsecs beyond the borders. Its warships engage pirates, perform customs inspections and prevent smuggling, escort merchant convoys, and “fly the flag” at neutral ports.
Government & Politics
Each member world is divided into Districts based on population and economic output. Each District is represented by a Senator and his staff, who meet at the Hall of Assembly on Denirad. The head of state is the President.
The High Senate is run by a civil service bureaucracy divided into Offices of State, each responsible for a specific aspect of government such as Revenue or Agriculture. The High Senate collects taxes, using them to finance internal development and to fund defense.
