Quarian Confederacy

The Quarian Confederacy is the reestablished government of the quarian after the retaking of Rannoch. It was built on a similar basis as the Migratory Fleet.

Government
The Quarian Confederacy was based around the concepts of the migratory fleet. It is a federal democracy, consisting of several separate districts, which are represented in the Conclave. Each districts elects a representative, which holds a seat in the Conclave. The Conclave then collectively elects the three members of the High Council, which head the quarian government; the Council selects one of them to be the Grand Councilor, who manages many of the affairs. The Conclave is capable of limiting the powers of the Council, and the Council must have the Conclave's approval to declare war.

Role of the Geth
Geth are granted equal rights from a societal perspective, having the right to own property, and even hold positions of power. Unfortunately, quarian prejudice can sometimes prevent the geth from going very far, the furthest some of them going being high ranking military officials, or being members on a district council.

History
After the defeat of the Reapers, the quarian and geth returned to their homeworld, and worked to build a new, stable government. Though they intended to keep it democratic, the inherent belief in a series of powerful leaders lead to the establishment of the High Council, which were first lead by the Admiralty Board. Their government solidified, the quarians began to look to the possibility of colonizing other worlds, so as to give themselves a presence in the galaxy. They were granted an embassy on the Citadel, an office which Tali'Zorah filled.

Military
The quarians still maintain the largest fleet in the galaxy. Since there is no longer a need for civilian ships, all vessels are equipped for war, giving the quarians immense space power. However, it lacks the advancement, or the sheer power of the turians or the krogan.

Geth Forces
The quarian miltary is further strengthened by the newly formed association with the geth. All geth ships were assimilated into the quarian navy, as were all geth forces. Geth also occupy most of the quarian ground forces, and are considered vital to keeping the quarian military stable; some geth even are granted high ranks such as admiral, though they are always outranked by at least one quarian.

Relations
Due to the quarians role in the Reaper War, the galaxy was for the most part welcoming to the Confederacy, and were willing to accept them back into a galactic community. Some, however, distrusted the geth that the quarians were now associated with, and that lead to some races being hesitant to establish relations. The salarians and asari were cautious when meeting with the quarians, though they did agree to working with them. The turians, the krogan, and the humans were quick to establish relations with the quarians, having fought together during the Reaper War. Tali'Zorah relationship with Commander Luther Shepard, also lead to positive relations.
