Latest revision as of 02:15, 25 September 2011

I've added more detail to this page so when we are writing for the elections we all have something to work from. The list of councillors is endless (we should have under 200 members of the Federation I think!). Dan are you happy with all of this? - MJ

I don't think naming so many of them is a good thing.suppose a future writter wants to create one of them.Captain Davies

It's open to change, without a doubt but once we start getting in to the story when those councillors are mentioned we need to make sure we have them written down! -MJ


What you have written down here are just random names assigned to a planet.This infobase is supposed to be for canon Fe material.If someone can go in and change any councilor they wish when they write about the council then whats written here is not fe canon.Any established councilors can stay i say the rest should be deleted until referenced in some sort of fiction or sim.Captain Davies 22:57, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Albert is right, that is the idea of the FEIB, to show what is canon. Not just to provide some background fluff for people.

  • I've cleaned this out. Despite doing my best to try otherwise, I'm aware I may have deleted some legitimate characters, because it's hard to distinguish the 'random pointless name' from the 'actual referenced character'. Mostly, any I didn't remember, who didn't look right, or didn't have an Infobase entry, and didn't pop up in Paul's fic, I wiped. I may have got rid of some legitimate people, but I have better things to do than wade through canon and fluff. --Oook 15:13, 30 May 2007 (UTC)


Slightly unrelated, where do the Council now meet? I don't think it should be at the Palais, it would make an incredibly powerful legislative branch look weak and beholden to the Presidency rather than as a power in their own right. They need their own seat of authority, really. It says here that they don't meet at the Palais any more - the President entry says that they do. So where? And if it's at the Palais, could we look into moving it? --Oook 00:20, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

It was at the Palais...its now at the Federation Headquarters...it got too big so was moved! MJ

Since Kur'rk is running, would it not make more sense for him to be the counsellor for Qo'noS?? (This is why leaving the blanks is better!)

Meeting Times

It states in this that the Council only meets once every 4 months. Three times a year? That sounds like a debacle of a way to govern a planet, let alone the whole Federation. I'm changing it, unless anyone has a good reason why it should only be every four months. Someone should burn that damn book... --Oook 15:17, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

It doesn't say how long they meet. A new session might start every four months, but that doesn't mean that they don't meet for the whole of the four months, start a new session and continue. - Nadrojneirbo 20:39, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I changed it so the sentence "all Federation Councillors must be present at the beginning of a session in order to participate in future meetings of the Council; those that are not present must wait until the next session convenes" no longer has "in four months" at the end of it. It just didn't seem to make much sense that if you weren't present at the very opening session, you couldn't take part in any Council debates for four months. Or am I getting the wrong end of the stick with that? --Oook 22:16, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Vulcan?

Why be there a Vulcan councillor there still? They lefted us!

~Dan 20:43, 1 June 2007 (UTC)


I would say no.Captain Davies 20:47, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

The planet did, but what about the probably sizeable Vulcan population still in the Federation? They're not likely to go back considering a lot of the ones on Earth etc. are likely to be the 'old' emotionally controlled ones. What interest would they have in returning to an emotional Vulcan, as a community? Would the Vulcan community stay within the Federation, and as such, would they be recognised as needing representation on the Council? That was what I assumed. --Oook 22:13, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
I was working under the idea that the Council is made up of member worlds still, so when their member world left the Federation they lost thier representation and just became another refugee group in Sol - it adds to the whole second class citizen thing we have going on for Vulcan's. But who knows, I might be wrong :) :~Dan 22:18, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

they left us screw the logical green blooded sob's! Captain Davies 09:20, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Okay, makes sense for the Vulcans with a second-class citizen perspective. So the general ruling is that the Planet is still officially a part of the Federation, then they have representation. This applies to rediscovered planets who have maintained their membership, and to planets which are still 'missing' and thus are 'assumed' to still be members. In short, so long as any planet which joined the Federation hasn't got around, by decision or absence, to rescind their membership, they're assumed to still be there? So lost planets (Bolarus, for eg) still have reps? --Oook 12:33, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

However one thing is by removing the Federation Senate, it meant that all citizens of the Federation were represented by a member of thei race on the Council. - MJ
