Species Representation



=Species Representation=

Before there were Mem Reps, species were represented by representatives of their own.

In Example the Saran representative was Saran and would represent only Sarans or “speak for the Sarans.”

This concept was a left over from the First Galactic Council, where individual species (races) held a seat.

As the first Galactic Council dissolved and was replaced basically by the Union [1] (and the second Galactic Council) this “Species representation” was carried over, especially as civilizations generally joined end bloc. (All Klack joined, not each Klack world individually for example), but the Union evolved and so did the Assembly. The trend started with Rick Gorman, a Terran Human becoming the representative of the Ult in 3412.

Other examples followed and the Ult (and all other members) were no longer considered a Species Member, but simply a Union Member [2]





[1] The Union technically replaced the first GC by a multi society super civilization with many of the Original GC members. Even though the new or Second GC was officially its successor. But very few of the original members remained or joined the new GC...but almost all ended up as Union Members.

[2] A member is any community, society or civilization that joins the Union en bloc.
