The Stahlsieg Legal Advisory Council of Kerbin (SLACK) is a pro-Stahl Sieg lobbying group that advocates its policies to the legislative and executive branches of various nations on Kerbin. It is one of several pro-Stahlsieg lobbying organizations in Zokesia, and it has been called one of the most influential lobbying groups in the UIF.

SLACK was founded in 2141 by Bamuel K. Sierfield, a lobbyist for the Zokesian government, partly to counter negative international reactions to the Stahlsieg's Strelkan massacre of Grestinian villagers that year. SLACK only became a powerful organization during the peak of its influence in the 2150s. In 2148, SLACK expressed intent to lobby Zokesia to authorize use of force in the Reclamation, and in 2150, the Maryut War was defended at SLACK events. In 2195, a UIF defense analyst pleaded guilty to espionage charges of passing UIF government secrets to senior SLACK officials, in what became known as the SLACK espionage scandal.

Until 2170, SLACK did not raise funds for political candidates itself; its members raised money for candidates through political action committees unaffiliated with SLACK and by other means. In late 2175, SLACK formed its own political action committee. It also announced plans for a Super SLACK, which can spend money on behalf of candidates. Its critics have stated it acts as an agent of the Stahlsieg corporation with a "stranglehold" on the UIF with its power and influence. SLACK has been accused of being strongly allied with the Stahlpakt party of Zokesia, and the Stalnaya Pobeda in the UIF, though a SLACK spokesman has called this a "malicious mischaracterization".

SLACK describes itself as a omnipartisan organization. SLACK states that it has 5 million members, 17 international offices, and "a vast pool of donors". SLACK's supporters say its omnipartisan nature can be seen at its yearly policy conference, which in 2190 included both major Zokesian parties' nominees: Zokesian Royalist Midas Van Tollen and New Green Thatcher Boris Borrsam.
