All power lies within the Senate (Deihuit), made up of 300 Senators (Deihu), all of whom come from either aristocratic families, of great wealth, or served with distinction in the military. The Senate appoints its own members with many seats being held by the same family for generations. There are many committees that are focused on an individual policy area from foreign affairs to defense and transportation.

The most important of these is that of the Continuing Committee. It is regarded as an executive board to determine policy and was redesigned to foster compromise between the various levels of government. It is made up of the following eleven individuals:

  • Praetor Morror Kassus, Chair of the Committee
  • Proconsul Enellis Vellon
  • Vice-Proconsul Clavius Romdar
  • Jaridan Consul Alidor Jarok
  • Nej'ahar Consul Chatak Tela
  • Suketh Consul Teret Kayton
  • Jol-Tan Consul Tenar Quellar
  • Phi'Tlaru Chairman Vaebn Koval
  • General Ayel Nevet
  • General Korel Rendak
  • Admiral Taskar Devix

There are numerous political coalitions that exist within the chamber representing the spectrum of political opinion in the country including:

  • Jardian (pro-military and territorial expansionism)
  • Jol Tan (law and order)
  • Suketh (slow expansion, involvement in international affairs and alliances, domestic issues)
  • Nej'ahar (economic growth)

Membership within the coalitions are constantly in flux and a member siding with one group on a specific matter may not be with them on another. The Senate appoints a Proconsul and Vice-Proconsul to run the day-to-day affairs of the Senate. They are typically members of different coalitions as part of an arrangement within the chamber. Each coalition is led by a consul who is given a seat on the Continuing Committee.
