Secretary of the Defense

Secretary of the Defense

Union official office - until 3800 then made obsolete by Assembly decission.

Secretary of defense was an office attached to the executive branch of the Union Government. A branch that had always been controversial and has been abolished completley by the year 5000. The SoD was a middle man between the highest officers of the Military and the Commandeerr in Chief. the Secretary of Defense was never a very important office and had been a left over from the War ministers of Saran, the War Senators of Pan Saran and the Secretary of Defense of United Earth. All these offices were translated into the SoD, but the Union government works differently. it is the UnioN Citizens who via the Assembly make  all decissions. There is no higher authority than the Citizens of the Union. The Assembly is advised by the Military Council in peace times and the Commander in Chief in war Times. No single endity or even group can delare wars, declare who is an enemy and who is not. Even Diplomacy is now done via the Assembly and Union diplomats receive their charge and instructions from the will of the Citizens and not from political parties.[1]
