The Senate
The government of the Dominion is organized around a legislative body called the Senate. Primary members are represented in the Senate by a Senator. Each Senator has a single vote, regardless of the population represented. A Legate, who may speak in general sessions of the Senate, but may not vote on official Senate business (to avoid dual representation), represents affiliate members on Fuller or serve in the Senate's various working bodies.
As a body with a large & potentially unlimited membership, the Senate-in-whole is an almost impossibly unwieldy structure for getting work done. Consequently, the Senate’s councils, committees, and commissions perform most of the real governance. The daily business of the Senate proper is primarily speech-making and public debate. Councils are appointed bodies with autonomous decision-making & appropriation authority over some segment of government operations outside the Senate proper (for example, the Defense Council, which oversees the Armed Forces). The most populous & powerful members of the Dominion are disproportionately represented on the Senate's councils. Committees are elected bodies with the authority to administer various aspects of Senate operations, including the general budget. They are semi-autonomous; in the event of a unanimous committee vote, the approval of the Senate-in-whole is not required (however, the Senate-in-whole may override a less-than-unanimous committee decision with a three-to-five majority). Commissions are voluntary bodies with an advisory capacity only. They may prepare reports on issues of concern for presentation to the Chief Senator of the Senate, to the Chief Advisor, to the Khan, to the Supreme Commander, or to the general membership; schedule & conduct hearings; and contract for independent research.
The Khan
Until recently, An Emperor, led the Dominion. The Khan is the Chief of State of the Dominion & Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.
However, in 11 ABY, Caesar Alejandro Valtane, following popular demand, was crowned Emperor of the Dominion. 5 yrs later, He assumed a new title…That of Khan
If the Khan should become incapacitated, incommunicado, or die, the chair of the Ministry Council selects an acting Chief of State from among the following: the current Chief Advisor, or a former Chief Advisor. It has happened that another person has been selected as Acting Chief of State
The General Ministry
The General Ministry is the non-military bureaucracy of the New Republic. It is organized into several large permanent Ministries, smaller task-oriented service Agencies, and several semi-independent Institutes. The various Senate councils have oversight & financing authority over the corresponding Ministries.
The Cabinet consists of the heads of the various ministries and is headed by the Chief Advisor. This body is the link between the Chief of State and the Ministries.
The Chief Advisor, appointed by the Ministry Council with the approval of the Chief of State and the Chief Senator, heads the Confederate General Ministry. He reports to the Chief of State.
The Court of Justice
The members of the Court of Justice are selected by the Senate Justice Council from a list of nominees presented by the Chief of State. The other members of the Court from among their number elect the First Justice. Nominally, independent, the power of the Court of Justice is limited by its narrowly defined jurisdiction: to review charges of violations of the Constitution by members of by the other branches of the Confederacy's government. The Court of Justice does not serve as the court of last appeal for ordinary civil and criminal cases; local judicial authorities on member worlds settle those.
The Dominion Military
The Armed Forces Command is the military arm of the Dominion. It has overall command of the various sub-commands, and coordinates actions between these sub-commands.
The Supreme Commander, appointed by the Defense Council with the approval of the Khan, heads the Armed Forces Command. He reports to the Chief of State.
The Dominion Service Force
The Special Forces, also known as the Dominion Service Force (DSF), are a part of Military Intelligence, and are made up of a number of individual soldiers selected after training, as a trooper is complete, on the merits of their physical and mental abilities. These soldiers undergo a more rigorous and lengthy training process than the average soldier, during which time they become familiar with all weapons in use by enemy and friendly army groups. They are trained as commandos, able to handle any situation deemed delicate. The many specialties of DSF Agents are infiltration (terrorist), demolitions, techs (slicer's), security (anti-terrorist) and - when called for (which is very rare) - assaults of "impossible targets". The actual number of DSF personnel is left unknown for security reasons. The largest DSF units usually to be found are Company sized, and are commanded by Captains or Majors, although larger units are known to exist.
Special Air Service
Trained in everything and specializing in most, these soldiers are the elite of the Dominion. Able to go anywhere & survive anything, they are trained over years & tend to be much older then the average trooper. Their weaponry is chosen by mission specifics.
The Praetorian Guard
A sub-section of the DSF, these elite guardians of the Khan are specifically picked for their loyalty and abilities while serving in one of the many anti-terrorist units within the DSF. Formidable warriors underneath their golden & crimson armor, they carry AT-1 blaster pistols under their garments as well as BR7-A3 Blaster Rifles. Formerly known as the Imperial Guard.
Special Boat Service
These troopers are specifically trained for zero-G combat & ship actions. Posted with the Navy, they are the elite assault troops for boarding actions. Wearing space armor similar to that of the feared space-troopers of the Dominion, these soldiers float across space to deal out their special brand of combat. Also used for planetary scouting missions in advance of landing army units
Code of Honor
The Mandalorian code is composed of three simple facets of life: Strength, Honor, and Death. To a Mandalorian, strength is equated with life. The strong have the right to rule and conquer the weak. If an opponent fights back then they are not seen as weak, even if they can not defeat the Mandalorians; the act of defending oneself instead of capitulation is seen as giving one both spiritual strength and honor.
To the Mandalorian, honor is very important. Honor is gained by fighting, no matter the odds or situation. Once battle is engaged, victory brings honor. And while defeat is not desirable, even fighting and losing gives honor to the defeated for at least they acted and fought. It is considered more honorable to die fighting than to survive though dishonorable means.
Death is another important part of the code. Everyone dies. But what matters to the Mandalorian Warrior is how a person dies. Do they pass on with Strength and Honor, or some other way.
The Mandalorian Code of Honor
Strength is life, for the strong have the right to rule. Honor is life, for with no honor one may as well be dead. Death is life, one should die as they have lived.
