Clan Council

The Clan Council is a self-elected group of the warrior caste of a Clan which rules the entire affairs of the Clan and Clan law.

Each caste of a Clan is governed by a Caste Council. The warrior caste Council is also the Clan Council. This council is almost always made up of Bloodnamed warriors.

Military command

Military command higher than Galaxy Commander rests with the Clan Council. When the Clan requires military action above the small scale skirmishes that are Trials of Possession, the Clan Council becomes a Kurultai (War Council) and it elects from within a council member to become a Khan. The Khan (though having much more influence) can't interfere with Clan laws/society; that is still in the hands of the Council. He/she is, however, commander of the entire Clan's military assets, including the touman, and becomes the top of the military hierarchy that doesn’t exist without a Khan.
