Military Governing Body

 

Delta Freedom Alliance is a conglomerate of worlds that upholds the Articles of the DFA, preserves peace amongst its members and promotes security through the Alliance Fleet.

 

Chetzia is the centre of the DFA and is the home of the Alliance Fleet.

 

The Alliance Fleet is the military protective force for the DFA.  During peacetime, the Alliance fleet is the largest group of scientific explorers in Delta Quadrant. Each person is a highly trained individual, possessing the greatest of skills, integrity and curiosity. The Alliance Academy is the training ground for the officers of the fleet. There, individuals undergo rigorous examinations and personal challenges.  The Alliance Academy resides on Chetzia on the outskirts of the capital.  Member worlds contribute to the upkeep of fleet resources.

 

Each member world has a representative that sits upon the DFA Military Council, each member world is rotated on a yearly basis to reside as chairman.  The representative of Chetzia regardless of whether this person is chairman holds the right of veto.  Worlds that contribute 15% of their GDP also have this right.
