Federation Science Council

The Federation Science Council was one of the principle subdivisions of the Federation Council. The Science Council itself was composed of many different committee councils and subcommittee councils related to various topics and fields of science. As a result, the Science Council was one of the largest and most active of the sub-councils of the Federation Council.

In 2293, the Science Council authorized the formation of Project Sphex, a secret research group dedicated to learning more about an alien force that precipitated the migration of alien refugees that arrived in Federation space in the same year. The project was still active as of late 2339.

In 2339, Dr. Richard Galen served as an advisor to the Science Council. After a colleague brought a potentially significant discovery to his attention, Galen lobbied the Science Council and the Diplomatic Corps to secure the necessary travel permissions for Galen to conduct an expedition into Klingon space.

Also in 2339, the Science Council included the Trill Selem Bor as one of its members.
