Macross Frontier Fleet Government
The 25th New Macross-class Colonial Fleet or Macross Frontier Fleet has a democratic government. The elected branches include a House of Representatives and an Executive Branch. The fleet is led by an elected president, who is primarily responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of the fleet and maintaining social and economic policies. The president has an appointed military secretary, Chief of Staff, responsible for liaising with the fleet's New U.N. Spacy detachment, passing on orders in the name of the president, and providing military counsel. The legislature, while providing the normal roles of policy making, also participates in the decision making process for certain important fleet-wide actions. For example, taking the entire fleet on a costly long-range space fold must be voted on before preparations begin to accomplish it. By the end of the series there had been five presidents, four voted into office and one succeeding the position after the assassination of the 4th president. It is believed the elected presidents serve for five (Earth) year terms.
