Fiction:The Core Federation/High Court of the Core

"Order, delegates, Order!"

"Order? In the Ravenrii's courts there is no order, only politics."

- High Viceroy Kendron Vy'rii and Senator Gandra Yrid

The High Court of the Core, also referred to as the Great Court or the Congress of the Core, is the judicial and legislative branches of the Core Federation. The High Court is a uni-cameral senate that is composed of it's speaker and moderator, the High Viceroy of the Federation; and over five-thousand delegates, also called senators, each of whom represents one of the Federation's sectors in it's main realm at Xanthrus Spiral. The Court's main duties were to create and review laws, mediate trade and intergalactic issues related to the Federation, judge and interpret laws in hearings related to only the most important Federation-related issues, and relay orders to the Court of the Core, lower courts found in all of the CorFed's worlds.

Overview
The High Court is led by it's speaker, called the Speaker of the House, who relays the court's decisions to the High Viceroy of the Federation. Although the Court elects (and removes) it's speaker freely and elects a new High Viceroy after he/she is killed or removed from office, it has no executive powers, which all correspond to the High Viceroy and the 25 Viceroys of the Federation, as well as (in smaller amount) to the Queen of the Federation. The Court is composed of 5,000 Delegates, each of whom represents a sector of the Federation's Main Realm (Xanthrus).
