My guess is that you should take some governmental similarities from the United Citizen's Federation of Starship Troopers.

That would be a great idea, initially the majority get but over time it is only those who served that can rule very Clans but with a Starship troopers twist

As for the name Star League in Exile does have one issue for me it's got the name Star League in it.

I know they are the Star League Defence Force but calling themselves the Star League screams having a First Lord which could bring tensions which is why I think Kerensky should make an announcement: The Kerensky Proclimation

"My fellow citizens of the Star League we have come a long way. We have turned our backs on the petty differences of the Succession Lords to focus our Defence Force on its primary objective: Peace.

The Defence Force was created to protect humanity from wars that would bring it to the edge of destruction, wars that only madmen could envisage. We, together, defeated the Usurper and we together travelled to these Pentagon Worlds which we call our own.

With this Proclimation I and the members of the High Command have decided that there will be no First Lord for our Defence Force until we return to our rightful place defending Terra.

However ours is an Army and Navy without an enemy. We can tame these Pentagon Worlds but what next you may ask? Why serve? With this decree I write into law that everyone that can hear my voice today is eligible to be a Star League citizen and going forward all members of the Star League Defence Force will be considered Citizens with all the rights attached.

I have also ordered that our Army and Navy create Exploratory Divisions. These will explore deeper into the Periphery and discover more worlds for us to exploit and colonies. We will also continue to do what our Defence Force was created to do and defend our people by patrolling the Exodus Road and nearby Periphery realms. All threats to our population will be dealt with severely as we are the Star League Defence Force and this is OUR Star League.'

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.

I see 10 Divisions (or unit of appropriate strength) all with WarShip support

5 to defend the Pentagon Worlds and any nearby mining systems or moons. These would rotate in assignment every year to two years so no one builds loyalty to one posting or another

3 to explore the Kerensky Cluster we know it was discovered early but not explored until the Clans arrived. These would swap with those in the Pentagon Worlds regularly

1 to patrol the Exodus Road with an aim of destroying any Succession Lords patrols/pirate parties. Gathering intelligence is key. Every two years this unit would rotate with one that is on the Pentagon worlds.

1 to patrol the Periphery between the Pentagon and the Lyran Commonwealth same orders as those on the Exodus Road.

Each division is commanded by a member of the High Command who answers to the Commanding-General

Not bad DC. I'd like to go a little farther with these Kerensky Remnants and address the 'Successor Lords' which perhaps news (intelligence ops) could bring the Pentagon Worlds. 'The former High Lords of the Council have been infected by the Usurper's nightmare of violently seizing power over the entire Human Sphere by force of arms. We know first-hand that this tyrannical delusion is fool hearty in the extreme as no one can be forced into eternal bondage.' Needs more I know but it is escaping me right now.

I still have to run the numbers on the canon demobilization.

And just what do citizens have the ability to do? Do they vote on Kerensky's successor for example? A new High Council or legislative body? What are the benefits of citizenship?

I sort of envisioned the Intelligence, Signal and Special Forces all to be involved in the two forces facing the inner sphere. I could see them pushing as close to the Inner Sphere as they dare so Intelligence gathering will be well up there (scaring with the population with Succession War stories is a nice idea)

As for citizens the military rule but you need people who can run trade, medical, manufacturing, housing, education, law enforcement, prisons and courts. I think Citizens would be high in these industries. They could also own land and maybe have unrestricted access to travel off world without that your stuck at home

I wouldn't go with elections if it's a military government then command passes by rank but Citizens could run advisory boards on all walks of life and run the day to day civilian side of things

Basically think the Clans (which is what a military government with citizen warriors is...) we're creating a Star League version of the Clans (which I only really realized when I wrote that last bit)

How about The Star Citizen's United Federation? That way it sounds like they have created something that not only serves tribute to the past but also heralds the future.

This could serve as a way of having it be simultaneously similar yet different from the OTL Clans

I'm almost in favor of something like the Neutron Stars, White Dwarves, or Stellar Remnants to describe this rump Star League state.

I hear ya Dragon Cat, I am thinking outloud.

The Terran Supremacy stuff is intriguing namar. I'm aiming to pull directly from the SLDF.
