This consisted of three Standing Justices, andwhich each served a three-month term from 19 September to 18 December 2020, and an Alternate Justice, who served a two-month term from 23 October 2020 onwards. The final members of the 19th Supreme Court were Chief Justice Illyrian States, Minor Justices Libertasnia, and Vandensia, and Alternate Justice Eloren.
