Grand Council

The Grand Council is the paramount governing body of the Free Traders, consisting of a number of captains elected by the Assembly. It has the power to veto the Assembly's proposals, and try disputes between Traders. Appointments to the Council are shrouded in intrigue and bribery, as befits a merchant organization.
  The Free Traders' laws provide for the expansion of the Council by adding new seats, but this is rare and tends to only be done when new members will not upset the current balance of power.
  The Grand Council is also the final stop for resolving disputes between crewmembers and their captain, at least short of filing a sapient-rights grievance with the International Court.
