About the BaPhy Standard

Union Fleet/ Army  Union Fleet Service Capable Species  regulations are in place for for many hundred years. But in 4012 when the Boloth joined, the Union Bill of Rights was amended. Species like the Bandurpo, Camogi,Lyrham, Bellebee and similar species (already excluded from the armed forces) had to be served like everyone else by Hotels, Businesses, Restaurants, Space Bus and other Union services as it was required by law. But in those cases it was simply not possible.

So the Assembly used theArmed forces BaPhy as a guide line (It is not the same) to create the BaPhy classifications to amned the law.

It meant that restaurants did not have to provide facilities to serve Boloths, that smaller space ports did not have to have toilet facilities etc.

The amendment was carefully worded and the laws adjusted to not create grounds of discrimination, but to allow services to remain lawful.

The reason for this was the case of Aaron F. Shyster a lawyer who sued Arthur Swine and Dine at Blue Moon Port III for not providing facilities for a Boloth. By the law as it stood back then, the Boloth was entitled to such facilities.

But if the law suit was successful it would have meant an avalance of law suits and trillions of credits and forced many businesses into bankrupcy. Also every Union service would have to provide services for every possible Union Citizens which in some cases was simply impossible.

The CEO of Arthur's successfully argued his case that led to the "Common sense amentment" to the Union Citizens Bill of Rights.
