Council (United Earth)
The Council was an important body for United Earth during the Terra Prime crisis of 2155. ()

The crisis began when the terrorist organization Terra Prime hijacked the verteron array on Mars and threatened to destroy United Earth Starfleet Command if all non-Humans did not leave the Sol system. It was the opinion of the Council that the United Earth starship  be ordered to destroy Paxton's facility on Mars, even though doing so risked causing a massive explosion which could destroy Utopia Colony.

The Council came to this decision because the hijacking of the verteron array disrupted plans to redirect comets to the Martian ice caps, threatening the integrity of the domed cities if the comets were to impact surface settlements. The Council felt that the risk of losing Utopia Colony was acceptable to stop Terra Prime and save other settlements. Fortunately, Captain Archer and his crew were able to seize control of the array from Terra Prime leader John Frederick Paxton without destroying his facility. ()
