-Dr. Varsha Singh is the Junior Legislator of the 1st District, serving alongside Speaker Fonténe. A former investment banker at [[Goldman Sucks]], Dr. Singh strongly supports financial and corporate interests and is considered the de-facto leader of the unofficial "conservatives" caucus, which desires maintaining the status quo. Since votes in the Legislature are weighted per district by economic output, the 1st District has substantial weight, lending Dr. Singh enormous political sway (especially since Dr. Fonténe usually abstains as neutral speaker). The 1st District Junior Legislator seat is the most competitive electoral race in Trattoria with the possible exception of the presidency, sharpening into Dr. Singh into an absolutely ruthless psychopath even by Trattorian standards. Rumor has it that she takes excursions to third-world star nations to vent through randomly hunting and murdering minifigs there.

 They are the Legislators of the 50th District of Trattoria, which includes the [[Trattorian Planets#Commercium|Commercium]] system on the outermost border of Trattoria. Most trade and foreigners pass through this system for inspection. The amount of smuggling, illegal immigration, terrorism, and mafia activity that Commercium residents have to put up with on a regular basis from being Trattoria's gateway to the rest of the galaxy has resulted in them electing the two most xenophobic, racist, and socially conservative Legislators in Trattoria.
-Dr. Muthu Ramachandran on the right is the Senior Legislator. A former Legal Department Attorney notorious for his harshness in enforcing Trattorian customs and immigrations laws, Dr. Ramachandran was sued in Trattorian courts several times for murdering entire families of illegal immigrants and setting up "detention center" concentration camps during his tenure as 50th District Commissioner. Although Trattoria is naturally uncaring to the plight of foreigners, Dr. Ramachandran's behavior attracted criticism from even within Trattoria for his brutality and its potential ill effects on Trattorian diplomatic relationships. Nonetheless, this hardline stance elated 50th District constituents and resulted in his election as Senior Legislator. He currently serves as the Chair of the Legislative Committee on Foreign Relations.

 Dr. Rem Minase on the left is the Junior Legislator. A notorious conservative firebrand in Trattoria, she makes even Dr. Ramachandran look moderate in comparison. In her former job as a physicist in the Science Department's Trattorian Navigation Commission, she was responsible for computing new FTL routes for Trattoria (often from the Commercium system). She is considered a computational genius even by Trattorian standards, crunching through the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner relativistic formalism and metric tensors like they were basic arithmetic. Dr. Minase has proposed some of the most outrageous bills in the Trattorian Legislature. These have included closing off all trade and immigration with the rest of the galaxy, authorizing a neutrina bomb strike to wipe out the entireties of [[Bavaria]] and [[Police State of Venice|Venice]], restarting the [[AN-TA War]], and withdrawing Trattoria from the [[Allied Nations]] after [[Mobfather Scratch]] won the Secretary-General elections - all of these bills failed, most by wide margins. She also sponsored a bill to assign the death penalty to same-gender intercourse, which passed, but was struck down as unconstitutional by the Trattorian Supreme Tribunal in a rare move after a legal challenge (the Supreme Tribunal ruled the punishment for same-gender sodomy must be the same as different-gender sodomy, which is jailtime and not death). She is also on record for supporting the designation of the [[Space Mafia]] as a terrorist organization and [[Police State of Venice|Venice]] as a state sponsor of terror. Dr. Minase currently serves as the Chair of the Legislative Committee on the Armed Forces.

		+	Dr. Shiina is the Stratego of the Sector III fleet, which includes planet Mirai and its naval shipyards. Known for an extraordinary trading acumen and general intelligence, she was a former professor of mathematics at TTI, and then Partner and Galactic Co-Head of the Sales & Trading Division at [[Goldman Sucks]], and had an almost supernatural ability to read the markets and piece together unconnected information. She quit under mysterious circumstances to become a Stratego after the restructuring of the Armed Forces. She proposed the classified Operation Monodromy in an internal Armed Forces white paper, related to the [[Immortal War]]. Dr. Shiina has a quiet demeanor of few words, and is an avid painter and art collector.
		+
		+	==== Stratego Dr. Desroches ====
		+
		+	[[File:FM3OqX2.jpg\|640px]]
		+
		+	Dr. Desroches is the Stratego for the Sector V fleet, responsible for protecting Trattoria's borders. An arrogant former scientist, Dr. Desroches considers himself superior to his conscripted, non-Ph.D. subordinates and regularly abuses them, sometimes hitting them with his staff. He ignored numerous warnings about an incoming Immortal fleet and panicked when it did arrive, hastily setting up a no-fly zone. Afterwards, largely due to luck and the incompetence of the Immortal commanders, the Trattorians won overwhelmingly with small casualties and damage to infrastructure. Dr. Desroches took all the credit for this victory and received commendation from the Trattorian government.

-Dr. Fonténe studied under a dual JD-MBA program at Harvard University before earning Ph.D.'s in econometrics and information technology from TTI and MIT. He became a partner at a private Trattorian law firm, [[Kump, Kasting, & Krane LLP]], specializing in the tax code and collecting billions.

After retiring from the position, Dr. Fonténe finally decided to try his hand at the legislative process, running for election in Trattoria's 1st District and winning.

 Dr. Trinetta Wood, once a biologist, is now the Senior Legislator of the 43rd district, and calls the Yokomo Habitation Ring her home. She was a major proponent of automating the military, and was responsible for the creation of the Mechanized Operations Division as a prototype of such. She eventually went on to sponsor the Army Automation Appropriations And Authorization Act (A6), a landmark law that repealed centuries-old prohibitions on military robotics dating back to the AI Rebellion 300 G.R.'s ago to the delight of companies such as [[Sun Engineering Corporation]] and [[Misaka Analytics]].
