The Grand Council

Structure

Members of the Grand Council come and go but there are always at least three and a maximum of thirteen. Members of the council are required to have achieved at least a bronze or Hero level uniform. Guardians are rarely seen on the council as they’re far too valuable in their home systems to leave. A Sentinel would be more commonly seen as would a Celestial.
Every species in the galaxy is eligible to sit on the council provided that they’re aware of the galaxy at large. Less advanced species, such as humans, have never had a council member. This policy isn’t meant to be exclusionary, but is instead meant to both protect the less advanced worlds from knowledge they shouldn’t yet have and to prevent the council from having members who aren’t familiar with how things are done away from their home worlds. The general rule of thumb is that a species has to have been advanced enough for interspecies relations for at least fifty years to even be considered.
Council members temporarily relocate to Rihyad to serve out their decade long term. If they aren’t killed in office, they select a successor from among the available candidates. Hero-level sehashi aren’t common enough that there are many to choose from. It’s not unheard of for a seat to go vacant while a suitable replacement is found.
The current Grand Council only has three members. Nainqroiks, a scirqeox from Walafon IV. Veesaell, a qondreonfrom Tirizar. Megell, a chihur from Sheromi.

History

Not all sehashi were good people. They may have all started out that way but power has this tendency to corrupt and sehashi have the potential to become very powerful indeed. It wasn’t often that things went badly, but it happened. There was at one point a governing force of sehashi, a Grand Council. They had their headquarters on a planet called Rihyad in orbit around the star that the people of Earth call Kochab, located in the Ursa Minor constellation.
It didn’t often do much, leaving most worlds to govern themselves, but when a crisis came up involving more than one world they became useful. When a sehashi went bad, or more than one—as has happened from time to time—they rallied the sehashi to bring those rogues down. In this way, peace was maintained.
