Heavy WIP. Imma just slap the images in here for now.

Background:

Millenniums ago, the Elemi and the Bijou were forced to flee their homeworld of Matteria (Planet ES-03, as documented by PTO and Arcosian ledgers) after it became too uninhabitable to support life. Both species unknowingly returned to this galaxy but a century ago under unexplained circumstances. Despite their thousands years of waiting they’ve come to discover their homeworld still hostile. With many of the habitual worlds being controlled by other species, the Elemis and Bijou faced a choice: either live on other planets and assimilate, or stay together and try to preserve their sense of community. The vast majority of the Elemi have taken away in their own ships to this planets and made home. Many more would have gone this way if their leader hadn't found a way to keep them together.

This aforementioned leader, Zenon, had a dream. A dream to one day restore the destroyed planet of Matteria. He had united many of the Elemi and Bijou under this ideal, and a new society was formed around it. And thus the Homeworld Restoration Effort was born. Their belief and their goals kept them together and preserved their own believes and culture. They built upon their own spaceship. A project so large that it eventually became the space station they would call HOME. This large artificial satellite currently hovers around the abandoned planet, outside of

Organization Information and Structure:

The Homeworld Restoration Effort is a society as much as it is an organization. It is run by a council that keeps to ten members; A leader and nine. Zenon is the current head of the council. Despite this the council of ten are all of equal standing and act more in line with an oligarchy than a true republic or democracy.

Everyone who is ranked below the council members has to answer to them directly without question. Individually, Council members have the power to make decisions regarding members ranking below them. Promotions, demotions, and other aspects are just a few of the things that council members have complete control over. It isn't uncommon for a council member to employ certain members as bodyguards or as members of a squad under their direct control.

For bigger issues such as declaring war, all the council members must vote and agree in partaking in a certain action. They typically end up going in the direction that the head votes in. Although it should be noted that war is the last resort that the council would partake in. While they are willing to do whatever it takes to restore their homeworld, they don't resort violence until they've exhausted every other possible option.

Challenging the council:

As stated before, the council makes all major decisions regarding what rank someone has. However, it is possible for a lower ranking member to rise to the council and replace someone on it. There is, of course, forcing one’s way into the council through power. The more civil and proper approach to this however is to become recommended and favored among other council members and wait for another to resign. Nobody not at least a half breed of Elemi or Bijou has attempted to take a spot or overthrow the entirety of the council to date. Such a proposition would be met by opposition from a majority of those within the HWRE, even though they are fine with outsiders joining among their lower ranks.
