The Federal Attorney, located in the Federal Attorney Building at NW Talara Road 3 in the Civic Ring of New Kourou serves as the legal representative of the Federal Confederation of the ExoHumans in the Gamma Age.They act on behalf of the government in legal matters, including criminal prosecutions, civil litigation involving the Confederation, and constitutional challenges.

The Federal Attorney is appointed by the Federal Council. Proposals for suitable candidates are made through the GAIA system.

While the Federal Court, the Federal Sheriff, and the Federal Attorney collaborate in the pursuit of justice, they also maintain their independent roles and functions. This separation of powers ensures checks and balances within the legal system, promoting fairness, impartiality, and the protection of individual rights.

The position of Federal Attorney was established in 2634 as part of the post-Great War legal reforms mandated by the Peace Treaty. The treaty emphasized the need for a centralized yet impartial legal system to manage disputes, uphold justice, and prevent further conflicts with the Native Tribes.

Initially, legal enforcement was decentralized among reservations, leading to inconsistencies in the application of laws. The Federal Attorney role was created to unify these efforts, providing a central authority to oversee the Confederation’s legal interests while respecting the autonomy of local jurisdictions.

Supreme Councilor Aisha Patel was instrumental in creating the office, emphasizing its role in promoting transparency, accountability, and adherence to the Peace Treaty. The position was designed to serve as a bridge between the principles of Communardism and the practical need for law enforcement, ensuring that both individual rights and collective responsibilities were balanced.
