Leadership
The city is governed by the Zion Council, which makes all administrative decisions for the city and the war effort. Other officials were recruited to report directly to the Council and carry out their orders on their behalf, including (reluctantly) the supreme commander of the Zion Defensive Forces; Commander Jason Lock. The captains of the Zion Hovercraft Fleet also have strict access to key data in the Zion Mainframe, and have political bearing with the population. Over half of the council is female, and over half of it is non-Caucasian, with Councilor Hamann being the only white male on the council.
