Editing Stfcouncil (section)

== The Purpose of the Council ==

The Council of Star Trek : Freedom shall be a separate ruling body, whose purpose is threefold and under constant revision to best suit the needs of the game.

1. To oversee operations of Star Trek : Freedom, and put into motion proposals and edicts for the good of the game.

2. To oversee larger conflict resolution that has progressed beyond a duty-station CO's ability to mediate. The reprimands and decisions of the council are both final and binding within Star Trek : Freedom.

3. To keep every member of Freedom informed of possible changes, and to carefully consider any changes that are mentioned or proposed by any or all members of the Fleet.

The power of the council is placed above that of the Duty Station CO's, though most routine decisions are made by a joint list of the entire COs. The Council has no say in the day to day operation of those vessels. Instead, their power rests in directing the Fleet as a whole to new paths and directions for the greater prosperity of all. The Council finalizes changes that will affect the whole of the Fleet, both in and out of game, and the Council also passes all items that change the way the Fleet operates.
