The Alliance Council was the legislative council of the Alliance in an alternate timeline where Montgomery Scott rescued James T. Kirk before he could be absorbed into the Nexus. The Alliance Council was that timeline's counterpart to the Council of the United Federation of Planets, and appeared to fulfill roughly the same function. Unlike the Federation Council, member states appeared to have more than one representative; the Cardassians had at least three. The Council did have some rules and traditions that it imposed upon its members.
