Like that Preciprik guy said, the Golgotha kind of fill that role, but I'm seriously surprised nobody has mentioned creating an opposing council. Sort of the warsaw-pact to my NATO if you will. The golgothans of the Resurgent Mandate are fanatical killers-not necessarily politically opposed to ideas put forward by the Galactic Council. Maybe something to think about?

My view on the matter would be that directly opposing the Unity Accords would appear to many nations as an excessive risk while the threat of the Mandate still exists - fragmenting might leave them vulnerable, after all. However, if strong dissensions arise in the Council, the possibility of an organised schism occurring at some point would not seem to me to be unlikely as the memory of the war grows more distant and nations gain more confidence. Then again, disagreements may stem from the current situation as well - for instance, the Palathyn Collective being, as we see, in favour of combating the Golgotha with more radical methods, which the UA are against.
