Types of Midway Creatures
Type		Origin and Description
1.	Primary Midwayers	the more spiritual group, are a somewhat standardized order of beings who are uniformly derived from the modified ascendant-mortal staffs of the Planetary Princes. The number of primary midway creatures is always fifty thousand, and no planet enjoying their ministry has a larger group.
2.	Secondary Midwayers	the more material group of these creatures, vary greatly in numbers on the different worlds, though the average is around fifty thousand. They are variously derived from the planetary biologic uplifters, the Adams and Eves, or from their immediate progeny. There are no less than twenty-four diverse techniques involved in the production of these secondary midway creatures on the evolutionary worlds of space. The mode of origin for this group on Urantia was unusual and extraordinary.
"The midway creatures have a threefold classification: They are properly classified with the ascending Sons of God; they are factually grouped with the orders of permanent citizenship, while they are functionally reckoned with the ministering spirits of time because of their intimate and effective association with the angelic hosts in the work of serving mortal man on the individual worlds of space."

"The chief executive of a local system, the System Sovereign, is always supported by two or three Lanonandek Sons, who function as first and second assistants. But at the present time the system of Satania is administered by a staff of seven Lanonandeks... This executive group of seven Lanonandeks constitutes the expanded emergency administration made necessary by the exigencies of the Lucifer rebellion."

The Expanded Constellation Government
Vorondadek Rulers of Norlatiadek ^[1]
1.	The Constellation Father	The present Most High ruler of Norlatiadek is number 617,318 of the Vorondadek series of Nebadon. He saw service in many constellations throughout our local universe before taking up his Edentia responsibilities.
2.	The senior Most High associate
3.	The junior Most High associate
4.	The Most High adviser	the personal representative of Michael since his attainment of the status of a Master Son.
5.	The Most High executive	the personal representative of Gabriel stationed on Edentia ever since the Lucifer rebellion.
6.	The Most High chief of planetary observers	the director of the Vorondadek observers stationed on the isolated worlds of Satania.
7.	The Most High referee	the Vorondadek Son intrusted with the duty of adjusting all difficulties consequential to rebellion within the constellation.
8.	The Most High emergency administrator	the Vorondadek Son charged with the task of adapting the emergency enactments of the Norlatiadek legislature to the rebellion-isolated worlds of Satania.
9.	The Most High mediator	the Vorondadek Son assigned to harmonize the special bestowal adjustments on Urantia with the routine administration of the constellation. The presence of certain archangel activities and numerous other irregular ministrations on Urantia, together with the special activities of the Brilliant Evening Stars on Jerusem, necessitates the functioning of this Son.
10.	The Most High judge-advocate	the head of the emergency tribunal devoted to the adjustment of the special problems of Norlatiadek growing out of the confusion consequent upon the Satania rebellion.
11.	The Most High liaison	the Vorondadek Son attached to the Edentia rulers but commissioned as a special counselor with the Faithful of Days regarding the best course to pursue in the management of problems pertaining to rebellion and creature disloyalty.
12.	The Most High director	the president of the emergency council of Edentia. All personalities assigned to Norlatiadek because of the Satania upheaval constitute the emergency council, and their presiding officer is a Vorondadek Son of extraordinary experience.
"The rotation of the Most Highs on Edentia was suspended at the time of the Lucifer rebellion. We now have the same rulers who were on duty at that time. We infer that no change in these rulers will be made until Lucifer and his associates are finally disposed of."
^[1] "And this takes no account of the numerous Vorondadeks, envoys of Nebadon constellations, and others who are also resident on Edentia."

The Four and Twenty Counselors ^[1]
Seat	Member
1.	Onagar	the master mind of the pre-Planetary Prince age, who directed his fellows in the worship of “The Breath Giver.” (981,390 BC)
2.	Mansant	the great teacher of the post-Planetary Prince age on Urantia, who pointed his fellows to the veneration of “The Great Light.”
3.	Onamonalonton	a far-distant leader of the red man and the one who directed this race from the worship of many gods to the veneration of “The Great Spirit.” (~65,000 years ago)
4.	Orlandof	a prince of the blue men and their leader in the recognition of the divinity of “The Supreme Chief.” (~200,000 years ago)
5.	Porshunta	the oracle of the extinct orange race and the leader of this people in the worship of “The Great Teacher.” (~300,000 years ago)
6.	Singlangton	the first of the yellow men to teach and lead his people in the worship of “One Truth” instead of many. Thousands of years ago the yellow man knew of the one God." (~100,000 years ago)
7.	Fantad	the deliverer of the green men from darkness and their leader in the worship of “The One Source of Life.” (~350,000 years ago)
8.	Orvonon	"the enlightener of the indigo races and their leader in the onetime service of “The God of Gods.” (a few thousand years ago)
9.	Adam	the discredited but rehabilitated planetary father of Urantia, a Material Son of God who was relegated to the likeness of mortal flesh, but who survived and was subsequently elevated to this position by the decree of Michael. (37,848 years before 1934)
10.	Eve	the mother of the violet race of Urantia, who suffered the penalty of default with her mate and was also rehabilitated with him and assigned to serve with this group of mortal survivors. (37,848 years before 1934)
11.	Enoch	the first of the mortals of Urantia to fuse with the Thought Adjuster during the mortal life in the flesh.
12.	Moses	the emancipator of a remnant of the submerged violet race and the instigator of the revival of the worship of the Universal Father under the name of “The God of Israel.” (~3400 years ago)
13.	Elijah	a translated soul of brilliant spiritual achievement during the post-Material Son age. (9th century B.C.)
14.	Machiventa Melchizedek	the only Son of this order to bestow himself upon the Urantia races. While still numbered as a Melchizedek, he has become “forever a minister of the Most Highs,” eternally assuming the assignment of service as a mortal ascender, having sojourned on Urantia in the likeness of mortal flesh at Salem in the days of Abraham. This Melchizedek has latterly been proclaimed vicegerent Planetary Prince of Urantia with headquarters on Jerusem and authority to act in behalf of Michael, who is actually the Planetary Prince of the world whereon he experienced his terminal bestowal in human form. Notwithstanding this, Urantia is still supervised by successive resident governors general, members of the four and twenty counselors. (B.C. 1980-1886 )
15.	John the Baptist	the forerunner of Michael’s mission on Urantia and, in the flesh, distant cousin of the Son of Man. (7 B.C. - 28 A.D.)
16.	1-2-3 the First	the leader of the loyal midway creatures in the service of Gabriel at the time of the Caligastia betrayal, elevated to this position by Michael soon after his entrance upon unconditioned sovereignty.
17- 20.	Reserved	not permanently occupied. They are temporarily filled by the unanimous consent of the sixteen permanent members, being kept open for later assignment to ascending mortals from the present postbestowal Son age on Urantia.
21- 24.	Reserved	likewise temporarily filled while being held in reserve for the great teachers of other and subsequent ages which undoubtedly will follow the present age. Eras of the Magisterial Sons and Teacher Sons and the ages of light and life are to be anticipated on Urantia, regardless of unexpected visitations of divine Sons which may or may not occur.
"These four and twenty counselors are (Michael's) personal agents on Jerusem, and they have authority to represent the Master Son in all matters concerning the roll calls of Satania and in many other phases of the scheme of mortal ascension on the isolated worlds of the system. They are the designated agents for executing the special requests of Gabriel and the unusual mandates of Michael."
^[1] "These selected personalities [1-16] are exempt from the ascension regime for the time being, on Gabriel’s request, and we have no idea how long they may serve in this capacity."
