When it came down to it the Federation did not really have any rules for counting votes or operation with them. Not all inhabited planets were present but in respect they would follow either the ruling of Lucius or of Dutonis. A perfect example would be Helmnet as the ruling class were being given immense luxuries they could only dream of upon their agreement to join Lucius.
“With this in mind, my fellows in humanity, will you join in our righteous Crusade to retake the stars and claim humanity’s birthright.”
When it came down to it the rules for legislation simply became those that were already established, “Horus Lupercal, I ask that you remain upon the floor during deliberation and the coming vote as Protocol demands. Those of the Federation, do you have any questions for the Commander Horus Lupercal of the functions of our coming agreement.”
There might have been silence if one of the people present was not Alexander Borgius, “Horus Lupercal, what do you expect from us to give to your Crusade? I know the Knights of both Borgius and… Navaros would enjoy that chance for glory but we cannot afford to send our citizens to your cause.”
The Commander nodded as he gave the Prince a smile, “That is something for you to work out between yourselves and the Priests of Mars. Magos Orellinous, care to explain Mar’s desired contribution.”
The Magos nodded as he walked forward and took the stage himself. A synthetic voice much like those of Lucius took centerstage, “The agreement between Mars and Terra states we are expected to provide munitions, heavy support, and technical expertise for their Crusade. Accordingly you will not be required to send out your citizenry but this Federation will be expected to give support in all forms previously stated.”
The Prince looked a moment agitated at the roundabout way things were stated but simply gave a nod before conversing with his fellow Dukes and Counts. One could say TalOS was a little surprised at the words of the Prince.
“Magos Orellinous, Horus Lupercal.” Arch Magos ADM1N began, “I understand that we are to provide War Engines and Tech Priests to the Crusade, but what of our more experimental forces.”
