The Captains Council is the lower of the two staff bodies which has been sanctioned by the UFOP Constitution to run the day-to-day operations of the community. Purpose Generally, the CC is tasked with IC issues. The list of reserved powers for the CC is as follows: Creation of "official" alien races; Recognition of plants, races, concepts, weapons, scientific advances, religions, political movements or developments, philosophies or other things or ideas as being an official part of the UFOP milieu once those ideas, concepts or things have been discussed in simulated plots; Serving as the first appellate forum for discipline of commanders and junior officers; Creation of new awards or discontinuance of old awards except those applicable to flag officers only; Creation, alteration or amendment of the requirements for advancement to the rank of full commander; To call upon the EC by majority resolution to act on any issue. If the EC shall not act within 30 days of the EC magistrate receiving word of the resolution from the CC magistrate, the right to act shall return to the CC who shall act subject to the other articles of this CONSTITUTION (including EC veto powers and discipline). If the CC does not act within 30 days of the resolution return, the resolution becomes null and void as if never passed. Membership See also: Constitutional Bylaw 7: Membership of the Captain's Council Captains and Above The CC is composed of all officers who have officially been ranked as Captain, which is defined as having passed the captain's exam and having been officially recognized and awarded said rank. This also includes, of course, anyone who is above the rank of Captain. FltAdml Tristan Wolf, although eligible to vote in CC matters, generally does not. Commanders The CC also allows any officers who have been officially ranked as Commander to view and participate in discussion among the CC.
