The Joint Ruling Council is an Langara based intergovernmental organisation that aims to improve collaboration between its members-states on Langara and is part of fragile first step to the peace process in Langaran politics.
History[]
After the destruction of Anubis' mothership in the atmosphere of Langara, a Joint Ruling Council was forged between Kelowna, Tirania, and the Andari Federation (the planet's three rival nation-states) to negotiate towards peace. The parties only agreed to this panel if Jonas Quinn represented Kelowna, having served with SG-1 in fighting the Goa'uld for the past year. (SG1: "Homecoming")
Later, Langara's Joint Ruling Council sent an ambassador from the Terrania and Andari Federation to join First Minister Dreylock on Earth. One of Terrania's first representatives to the council was Vin Eremal. One of Andari's first was Lucia Tarthus. However, their continued bickering caused the Tau'ri to end their efforts to relocate the Langarans to another planet. Jonas later commented that the incident seemed to shock the council members into being less hostile towards each other and he and Dr. Daniel Jackson hoped that it would last. (SG1: "Fallout")
