The Covered Committee

Great Assembly of the Unites Stars Covered Committee

The United Stars of the Galaxies is an open and free community where every citizen has fundamental rights and where the Citizen are the government. Where the power comes from the people and where representatives are employees of Citizens and not rulers or leaders. This simple yet powerful framework, this very foundation of our society was put into place by four civilizations and has since been adopted and accepted by almost five thousand civilizations today. The government of the Union has and is still developing and evolving. It began as a democracy that voted for representatives and changed to a Union Citizen based Community. Where Citizenship must be earned and consists of both unprecedented rights and benefits as well as duties and responsibilities.

In order to create a safe and free society, it was also recognized that a society must have secrets that needed to be protected from outside forces that do not share our values. It was agreed by the Assembly that it is imperative to maintain intelligence and counterintelligence force and organizations. This was a dilemma right from the start. Posed by the necessity of keeping secrets. The fundamental rule that the Union must always adhere to higher moral standards and be accountable to its citizens was debated for a very long time during the creation of this Union. The second amendment to the Union Constitution clearly states that: No one and nothing is above the laws ratified by the Body of all Assembly members. Yet in order to function and keep the wolfs at bay. Secret services cannot always adhere to laws and morals.

Before the institution of the Security Council developed into its current form, there was the Covered Committee. A body of one hundred individuals selected to guard the Unions Secrets. The selection process itself developed and changed over the centuries and was significantly changed after the Peace Hawk debacle.

Today the USCC is the governing body of the Security Committee and secretly the agency of the Gray Ghosts.
