Unified Earth Government Senate
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:ArticleName The senate of the Unified Earth Government is the legislative branch of the human government, composed of senators.[1] The senate convened in a congressional chamber on Earth. One of the organizations within the senate was the Senate Armed Forces Committee, likely charged with legislative oversight of the United Nations Space Command. The committee consisted of twelve senators.[2] Despite their positions within the UEG, senators were often kept unaware of the UNSC Navy's Office of Naval Intelligence's more controversial activities, such as the conscription of the soldiers of the SPARTAN-II program.[1]
After a peace conference on Biko was attacked by rogue Spartan John-117 in 2558, a meeting was scheduled between the senate and ONI to discuss the event.[3] The senate meeting was between the senators on the Senate Armed Forces Committee and three of ONI's six directors, along with ONI Commander Michael Sullivan. However, the proceedings were interrupted by journalist Benjamin Giraud; Giraud was given access to the congressional chamber's main display screen by an Insurrectionist leader known as "FERO". Giraud informed the senators of ONI's method of conscription for the SPARTAN-II program and the aftermath of the abductions. Giraud sent the senators files containing proof to back his claims, before his feed was cut off by ONI.[2]
