Galactic Council (Earth-7045)

The galaxy is a big place, filled with thousands of intelligent spacefaring civilizations—and somebody needs to try and make sure everyone sticks to the rules. The Galactic Council has taken up that responsibility: a vast coalition representing thousands of intelligent biological species. A peacekeeping force first and foremost, the Galactic Council negotiates non-aggression pacts between its various member worlds, and employs a mighty navy to make sure everyone honors said pacts. The Council has other divisions related to civilian life, mostly notably its academic arm Curricula.

The government consists of an inner council that is made up of the leaders of the major empires under its jurisdiction and an assembly of representatives from thousands of its worlds. The inner council is the primary decision making body in the organization, leading the Galactic Council in war and in enforcing & making policy. The assembly has over 10,000 representatives by the start of the 21st century.

The primary goal of the Council would be somewhat easier if it weren't for pernicious races and their petty conflicts, which has ruined entire galaxies and gotten countless innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire. This understandable grievance has seen the Galactic Council permanently blacklist the most warlike empires & races from ever joining them. The devastation wrought by such conflicts as the more destructive & far-reaching Third Cybertronian Civil War & the more ancient Kree-Skrull War, would shape the modus operandi of the Council significantly: member worlds pay the Council a chunk of their natural resources for protection from such menaces, and amidst the rank and file of the Council's military, anti-mechanical sentiment has flourished into full-blown anti-Cybertronian racism.
