Yes, but not part of his immediate family.

Sort of. The WDF are essentially mercenaries; right now they're under contract to the UFP, but that doesn't make the WDF the Federation's bitch. :) If the Federation's behavior gets too unsavory (and the determination of this is rather arbitrary, since it's made by the WDF Supreme Commander and his or her staff), the contract can be cancelled and the WDF can go do something else. Or even try to topple the Federation government if need be. We did it to Salusia once...

>Also, is Norkio the head of the WDF? That was my feeling from one of

She's Grand Admiral of the WDF Navy, but not Supreme Commander; that, at the "present time", is Field Marshal David Ritchie of the WDF Tactical Corps (formerly Eight-Ball Two).
