United Terran Forces (UTF)

The creation of the UTF in 2310 marked an important point in the history of its members. The level of cooperation that developed among the races was unprecedented and resulted in prosperity beyond any level originally hoped for. The UTF serves as a prime example of how unique and distinctive individuals can come together to form a group with capabilities far beyond that of its individual members.

The UTF is organized around a central government composed of equal representation from each race. The Governing Council has three seats for each member race – Humans, Necrons, Grimalkins, Andarians, and Garians for a total of 15. The odd number of council members prevents a tie vote and ensures that any controversial initiatives don’t halt the decision process. Every five years the council members are elected on their respective homeworlds by any citizen registered on that planet. In this way a small cross-pollenization occurs in the voting pattern and keeps each member from being elected exclusively by any one race. The councilors serve only a single term and cannot be elected twice to the same level of government. Each year the council chooses one Principal Director from its membership that acts in a supervisory capacity. The Director can only serve for one year and then must return to their regular council seat to be replaced by their successor.
