Earth Coalition

Summary
The Earth Coalition was formed in the year 2120, and is the main governing body of the Terran Empire.

They operate at a high level to ensure peace throughout the Empire, by providing security and guidance to citizens. They are headed by the EC Council, a group of 200 diplomats from all regions of Terran space who make decisions on behalf of the people.

Organization
The Earth Coalition divides the Terran Empire into 8 Sectors for the purposes of organization and taxation. The Terran Empire is also divided into three "rings": the Inner Rim, Middle Rim, and Outer Rim. These designations are less political and more of a locational descriptor dating back to the early days of expansion. Rumors of Inner Rim favoritism are simply not true, and must be ignored.

Military
The Earth Coalition Space Corps (ECSC) is commanded by the War Council, a sub-committee formed from experienced members of the EC Council. They are divided into a few distinct branches: the Imperial Guard, Imperial Army, Imperial Navy, and the Ministry of Interior Affairs. The Guard watches the borders of the Terran Empire, doing their best to dissuade any foreign incursions. The Imperial Army directly combats any foreign or domestic threats by providing planetary combat forces. The Imperial Navy works in concert with the Imperial Army, but generally has access to larger fleets of battleships and space fighters. They also contain the ECSC Marines, a division of specially trained soliders well versed in zero gravity combat and ship/station combat. The Ministry of Internal Affairs operates as an internal police force, watching internal borders, protecting the Warp Lines and generally keeping the peace and enforcing law throughout the empire.
