The Citadel Council's primary challenge has been the constant struggle to balance the city's limited resources with the need to maintain order. They are the arbiters of scarcity, tasked with distributing food, water, and medical supplies among a population desperate for survival. This responsibility has forced them to make difficult, often unpopular, decisions. They must navigate the competing interests of powerful factions like the Hydro Hegemony and the Shadow Syndicate, while also ensuring the basic needs of the city's most vulnerable citizens are met. The Council's ability to maintain a fragile peace depends on their ability to manage these competing interests, to negotiate compromises, and to enforce their decisions with the support of the Solar Guardians. Their leadership is a constant balancing act, a tightrope walk between survival and collapse.
