Contact - Concealed Contact

Contact - Concealed Contact

These are normally Pre-Ascent civilizations of TL 1 to TL 3   somewhat limited abilities  to cope with external contact but the general concept of possible life beyond their planet or civilization may exist. TL 3 civilizations may already engage in sub light space travel and research.

The Science Council via the Science Corps -Universal Anthropology Department - might issue Contact Level restrictions.

Within Union Space :
Contact - Concealed Contact results in an Assembly briefing. Since a civilization of this type is in general aware of at least its solar system. No Union Protectorate is created (exceptions do exist)

This type of Contact might be restricted to SCUAD, as this type of contact is often used to prepare the civilization for the next steps of Contact. ( Limited or Open).

Concealed means agents of the Union may move and interact disguised with the civilization. As this is a sensitive task and by Union Assembly Decission such Contact preparation must be bias free. (Allowing the civilization to make their own decissions regarding next contact levels and Union exposure. ) The SCUAD usually prohibits or very strongly limits any civilian or private entity involvement.

As with all Union laws and restrictions. Any Union entity may approach the Assembly directly and Assembly decissions supercede any laws.

Outside Union Space:
Union Law is limited outside Union Space but Union entities are still expected to uphold Union law. However Union Law permits civilian parties to establish Concealed Contact
