Council of Clans

The Council of Clans is the supreme governing body of the Orcish Clans to which it can issue decrees applicable to all. Each clan is represented by its selected Elders and vote on a wide range of matters which affect more than one clan. The Council also serves as the highest court for the clans, including those where the impartiality of the Elders is in question or the matter affects more than one Clan.

In peacetime the Council of Clans meets in the Orcish Sectors of Aldaain upon the petition of three or more Clans, though only during solemn occasions are they required to be physically present. Most issues can be handled virtually through the use of real-time subspace links. During times of crisis the Council may be convened in a virtual reality meeting to allow for the swift resolution of a serious matter.
