Vogan Leadership Council

Planetary Governance and Crisis Leadership during External Invasion Threat

Description

The fracturing apex organization of the Vogan ruling class, comprising diverse factions united only by the immediate threat of Cyberman invasion. This council serves as the central political body where Tyram, Vorus, and Kellman exercise power through their respective factions (Tyram Faction's armed militias, Vogan Guardians' martial apparatus, and Kellman's independent scheming). Public accusations of treason, the collapse of a planned rocket trap, and Harry Sullivan's intervention expose deep distrust and fragile cohesion among members. No shared ideology remains beyond short-term survival. Interacts with: Harry Sullivan, Professor Kellman, Vorus, Tyram, and the Guild Room Lobby.
