Union Fleet and Union Explorer Fleet -Regulation "First Contact Procedures" Excerpt:

These are general procedures :

 * b)The Union School is required to teach the basic rules


 * 1) Upon encountering a sentient life form that is unknown or perceived unknown take a passive role. Maning no arming of weapons, no aggressive behavior. (First Contact Procedure may be omitted it the contact is violent from the start)


 * 1) Attempt to Establish Communication : ALl Union Computronics carry the basic mathematical sequence. (It has been observed that 99% of al sentient beings are able to comprehend basic mathematical concepts.
 * 2) Ensure the new Contact that the Union has peaceful intentions

a) If the Contact occurs in neutral space continue with information exchange and attempt to determine the intentions of the New Contact.

b) IF the Contact occurs within Union space make the Contact aware of it, try to establish intentions. Contact the Union State Department as soon as possible and ask the new Contact to wait for a Delegation of Union Officials

c) If the Contact occurs on a planet or region that is claimed by the new Contact, make sure they know that we have no imperialistic intentions and that we will leave if no contact or isolation is requested.

Hostile first Contact situations should be avoided if possible, but Union Assets and lives can and should be defended.
