The Federation and Specter Initiative

FederationLogo.png
Built from the ground up by its founders, Jack and John Weller in the days of near full Kah'Rul dominated Earth, the Risen Earth Federation (Or more commonly referred to as "The Federation") is a body of governing minds which help pave a new society behind the wake of the Specter Initiative as it worked on clearing the space for a new Earth governing body to form. Because of its infancy, both the Federation and the Initiative were originally headed solely by the surviving founder, Jack Weller as a final wish from his brother, John to ensure it was properly founded, and did Earth did not become nothing more than a new "Military State" Planet, replacing one Empire with another. In a short time, allied individuals of high representation formed a council for the Federation, taking over. While Jack remains on the council for the Federation, his focus remains in the operations and favors his time to the Initiative.

The Specter Initiative

![[SpecterBanner.png]] The Original name for the Federation when the rebellion against the Kah'Rul was still young, The Initiative has become the Military equivalent of the forming governing force driving what is now The Federation. While the Initiative came "first," the founders and newly forming council of the Federation felt it necessary to distinguish between them as two sides of the same coin. Effectively, the Federation and Initiative function independently from one another, allowing for potential ease of dissolve and separation should a time come when the Initiative needs to be rebranded or disband, allowing for a proper Federation military branch to take its place in a future merger. "We can't remain ghosts forever. Someday we will need to have a name we can build on, not a name born from our rise from the grave, so to speak." was once said by Representative during discussions to decide the relationship between the entities. This eventually turned into the agreement between the two entities.
