Free Space Treaty

The Free Space Treaty Part of the Armistice Contract agreed upon and signed by representatives of all Civilizations involved. The Big four and several hundred smaller civilizations agreed to designate an area of space as Free Space. An Area where no Fleets or Warships are allowed to operate for whatever reason, either in planetary or interstellar space. The Treaty specifies also Para military units such as police or Law Enforcement. By treaty none of the Big Four are allowed to settle, colonize or occupy any structure, object or planet within the Free Space zone. The Treaty was amended with a clause also prohibiting scientific research of any kind if carried out by any official Government group (It was specifically aimed at the Union Explorer Fleet but extended to all) Civilizations and communities native to this are of course permitted to change their allegiance and file for membership with any of the Big Four, but a committee of the Big Four must be allowed to check if that Community is indeed native and does it on their own free will. The Treaty was broken by the Kermac but ratified again and named the Second Treaty. The Treaty was amended once again in 5030 after the Nul joined the Union. A third Conference was held by very nervous Galactic Council and Shiss representatives The Union agreed to honor the existing Free Space agreement but also signaled that this was the last time.
