The '''Consuls of Traken''' were five [[Trakenite]]s who governed the people of the [[Traken Union]] under [[Traken law]]. [[Keeper of Traken|The Keepers]] ruled for thousands of years with the power of [[The Source (The Keeper of Traken)|the Source]]. Towards the end of his rule, the Keeper would start to lose his hold on perfect harmony throughout the Traken Union and would select a consul to be [[Keeper-Nominate|their successor]] and the next Keeper of Traken.
The '''Consulate of Traken''' was the ruling body of the [[Traken Union]].

== Organisation ==
The Consuls of Traken were led by the [[Keeper of Traken|the Keeper]], who ruled for thousands of years with the power of [[The Source (The Keeper of Traken)|the Source]]. The Keeper was connected to all the minds of the [[Traken Union]]. The Keeper was able to protect them mentally from all evil that threatened their paradise. The Consuls, however, protected them physically and had the power to command the [[Foster (Traken Union)|Fosters]] (Workers) and the Proctors (Security) like [[Neman]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Keeper of Traken (TV story)|The Keeper of Traken]]'')
The Consulate was made up of five [[Trakenite|Traken]] consuls, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Keeper of Traken (TV story)|The Keeper of Traken]]'') appointed from the elite class. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Primeval (audio story)|Primeval]]'') Towards the end of the life of a [[Keeper of Traken|Keeper]], the Keeper would select one of the consuls to act as their successor upon their death, until which the selected consul would be known as the [[Keeper-Nominate]].

== History ==
Circa [[BC#2nd Millennium B.C.|1000 BC]], [[Keeper of Traken|the first Keeper]] was the [[Fifth Doctor]]. He defeated the inventor of [[The Source (The Keeper of Traken)|the Source]], [[Kwundaar]]. He gave the title to [[Shayla]], who held it for an unknown time. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Primeval (audio story)|Primeval]]'')
In the early history of [[Traken]], five Trakens served as Priest-Consuls to [[Kwundaar]], high priests in the worship of the living god. The Priest-Consuls became the first Consuls of Traken following the activation of [[The Source (The Keeper of Traken)|the Source]] and Kwundaar's banishment circa [[BC|3550 BC]], beginning the [[Primeval Times]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Primeval (audio story)|Primeval]]'')


Circa [[1981]], as his end approached, the current Keeper contacted the [[Fourth Doctor]] for his help. He explained about the [[Melkur]] on [[Traken]] and asked for help preventing the evil from taking control of the bioelectronic Source which was the keystone of the Keeper's power and of Traken civilisation. The Doctor and [[Adric]] agreed and the Keeper pulled [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] to Traken.
