The Nul Objection

The Nul Objection was the name given to the sizable minority of Nul who initially opposed the idea of joining the Union when their ruler announced that he had decided to do so.

Leary of the idea of entering another alliance (which is what they initially considered was the case,) the Nul Objection reminded their leader what had happened the other times the Nul had attempted an alliance.

Rather than trying to convince them himself, or simply overrule their objections, the Nul leader ordered the overall leader of the Nul Objection, Ang to attempt to find a reason not to join. Nearly two dozen other members of the Nul Objection followed as well.

For nearly a year they reported to what they observed, and once they had been convinced that joining the Union was a good idea, they decided on an individual basis to immigrate.

The leadership of the Nul Objection continued to work together until over 90% of all adult Nul were Union Citizens. Indirectly through their activities they prevented an attempt by the Shiss to disrupt the Nul joining the Union.
