High General

The High General was the head of state and head of government of the Interplanetary-Fleet. The General directed both the executive and legislative—the Office of the High General and the High Council, respectively—branches of government and, during Wartime, was granted emergency powers to preside over IF High Command. As leader of the High Council, the general owned an office suite in the High Council Building located on earth in the IF Capital of Takoradi. The general was elected through a majority vote by the Council Members that represented the various nations or worlds throughout the galaxy. The Charter of the Interplanetary-Fleet limited the general to a 5 year term that was renewable 3 times; as such, no one was permitted to serve as general for a fifth term. The charter allowed for a general to be removed from office though a majority based Vote of No Confidence. During a State of Emergency declared by the High Council, the High General can declare Dictatorship Status.
