Peace Station Interspecies Treaty
Also known as the Inter-Stellar Peace Treaty or simply "The Treaty", the Interspecies Peace Treaty was forged some time after the devastating First Bacterian War between the Gigerdians, Bacterians and the United Orcs.
The treaty was drafted by Hemmoian diplomat K'ags Oiduts and it outlined the creation of a common committee that would decide on matters of galactic importance together and in a civilized manner, as well as the construction of a space station in neutral territory that would house this committee and various other diplomatic facilities. Work on the treaty was finalized by Hemmoian year 3,0128 and it was signed in 3,0129 by all participants.
The common ground diplomatic station outlined in the document was eventually named the Peace Station and work was soon started to build it in a neutral system somewhere near the Galactic Core. The station was finished in record time in the year 3,0130.
Sections
Preamble
"Between all these worlds - planets, moons and star systems - may eternal peace reign."
The Safeguard Mechanism
The Safeguard Mechanism as outlined in the Treaty is a committee that can be gathered where there exists a threat to interstellar peace. It has permanent representation from the Bacterian, Gigerdian and Orcish sides, with additional non-permanent members elected with one year terms. Members must always be present at the Peace Station so that the Mechanism can be invoked at any time.
All signatories are obligated to comply with decisions reached by the committee. In some cases, the Safeguard Mechanism can resort to imposing sanctions or even authorize the use of force to maintain or restore peace and security.
