Legend

this was the primary legislative and governmental body of The Expanse region of Tapani Sector. It was led by a Prime Minister, and was made up of representatives from the seven Houses of the sector. Each House had a certain amount representation, depending on its size and current status. During the New Order, House Mecetti was the dominant House in the Great Council. The Great Council was made up of several, smaller subcouncils, with the Senate being the strongest body. The Council of Ten was the most select of the subcouncils, being made up of an inner circle of representatives and handling several key roles. Each of the five primary planets in the Freeworlds Region also had representation on the Great Council, but they lacked the power of even the lowliest of the seven major Houses.
