User:144-Patient Appelant/Orion Council

The Orion Council is the governing and commanding force of the United Galactic Alliance and the species' represented by it. Housed in the Orion Center, the Alliance Council uses it's power to oversee all matters of the Orion Arm of the Galaxy.

History
The Orion Council was founded in 2560, four years after the United Galactic Alliance was concieved. Formed by Humanity and the Sangheili, the Council was a way to control the alliance and the terms of the alliance. The Orion Center was created as an equal home for the Council, seeing as how it wasn't built on a planet belonging to any single race. Originally, there were only Human and Sangheili councilors but later on, the Huragok were introduced into the Council for their increase in political influence. The Unggoy had their first councilors soon after them, due to the Sangheili's attempts to pay reparations for all of the Unggoy sacrificed during the Human-Covenant War. The Lekgolo were last to be admitted into the council only due to their overall apathy toward politics and the newer communications technology recently developed. Under the Alliance Council, the Orion Arm has been a mostly peaceful place.

Orion Fleet
The Orion Fleet is a massive armada of starships under the control of the Council. Possibly the most important force in their arsenal, the Orion Fleet is composed of thousands of Human and Sangheili vessels. It is used to protect major UGA colonies, including the Orion Center, and it patrols turbulent areas. It is commanded by the flagship, the UGA Orion's Sword, an Arbiter-Class Dreadnought.

UGA Military
The UGA boasts a more powerful military force than the Covenant. Just as the Covenant’s military was a conglomerate of each races military force, such is that of the United Galactic Alliance. The UGA’s military consists mostly of Humans and Sangheili. They take multiple roles as infantrymen, pilots, Shipmasters, and many others. Mgalekgolo are used for anti-armor, demolition, and heavy offensive operations. The Unggoy have less of a combat role than they had in the Covenant, save for the few spec ops Unggoy forces, a small attempt by the Sangheili to partly makeup for the many preventable deaths of Grunts in the Covenant. They, along with the Hurgok, have much more intelligence and communications roles.

Uniform and Dress
Members of the Orion Council wear very formal clothing. While every species may wears a different style of the uniform, it is overall the same. Humans wear dark blue and gold jackets, black t-shirts, and dark blue trousers with black shoes. They also wear dark blue, gold, and black hats. The blue represents courage while the black represents strength and the gold represents justice. Sangheili wear a similar style, with blu and gold armor with black detail and a golden 'mark of shame' in a grey circle. Unggoy usually wear simply all silver or blue apparell while the Mgalekgolo will wear either blue armor or golden armor.
