The Tellarite Technocracy is the governing body for the planet Tellar as well as the immediate surrounding space of the 61 Cygnus star system. The Technocracy was founded in the early 19th century, shortly after the Tellarites had discovered warp drive, and is a unique tri-cameral legislative body representing the will of the general public, the various Tellar city states, and the technical corporations which form the economic foundation of the Tellarite Technocracy.
The three chambers of the Tellar Congress combine to form a Grand Council which is the responsible executive agency for the Tellarite Technocracy. The Citizens Legation is directly elected, the City State Senate through indirect election by city leaders, while the Corporate Chamber is appointed by the various Tellarite technological firms.
The Tellar Congress
While Teller possesses lower courts for criminal and civil matters, there is no supreme or executive court at the planetary level, with all decisions of the government settled through vigorous debate. Within the Coporate Chamber, decisions are usually deferred to the more powerful corporations, such as the Tellarite Mining Consortium.
The Tellarite military consists of a planetary defense force, various city state guards, as well as a small fleet. As a result of the Tellarite's proficiency in engineering skills, Tellarite ships are capable of reaching speeds in excess of warp seven and are generally considered to be among the best constructed space vessels.
​
Although often seen as an argumentative and rude species, the Tellarite Technocracy generally avoids conflict and prefers peaceful coexistence.

The Tellarite Technocracy has held a treaty of cooperation with the Vulcan Confederation since the mid 1800s, while trade contacts with the Earth Cargo Service have existed since the 2130s. Formal first contact between the Tellarite Technocracy and the United Earth occurred in 2142.
