Supreme power, according to the D'Vatta, lies with the Senate (Deihuit), made up of 300 Senators (Deihu) from a range of aristocratic families, military leaders, or those with considerable wealth. The Senate appoints its own members. Many seats have been held by the same family for generations. There are many committees that are focused on individual policy areas.
The Continuing Committee is the most important one in the Senate. This eleven-member executive board is made up of representatives from all branches of government. It is meant to allow each side to voice their concerns and work towards determining consensus on policy. Current membership is made up by:
- 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 has a seat on the Continuing Committee.
