Template:Mergefrom The UNSC Security Council[1] is the governing body for the United Nations Space Command. As an emergency military government, the Security Council is largely made up of military personnel, tasked with governing Earth and other UNSC colonies and coordinating the operations of the UNSCDF. It temporarily superseded the Unified Earth Government, formed after the Interplanetary War, as humanity's overall governing body during the Human-Covenant War. However, it is apparently beneath the UNSC Security Committee. The fact that the Security Council is guarded by UNSC Marines suggests that it is mostly centered around naval operations.
The Security Council is apparently based in Sydney, Australia, deep underneath UNSC HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6. It was mentioned during a meeting of the UNSC Security Committee, presumed to be an independent administrative military branch. Although Sydney was devastated during the Battle of Earth, Bravo-6 itself remains untouched and continues to be the Security Council's headquarters in the post-war era.[2]
The UNSC Security Council is likely to be similar to the UN Security Council prior to the formation of the Unified Earth Government, but with military personnel instead of national representatives.
