Intergalactic Temporal Accord Treaty

Out of that necessity, the Intergalactic Temporal Accord was born: a comprehensive framework detailing the creation and management of a regulated timeline for an interstellar civilization.

Over the coming centuries, this council would morph into a complex network comprising thousands of individuals across dozens of arms.  As the warring in the Raging Territories cooled, though, a new problem arose. Once other nations stabilized and rose to prominence on the cosmic stages, they began to profess the dangers of Syndicate Space effective controlling the regulation of time. Concerns ranging from geopolitical to ethical emerged. The Alliance, not seeking to anger their newfound neighbors by drafting the Intergalactic Temporal Accord Treaty - a document which severally limited the power the Supreme High Council can exert over the GTC.  The Treaty was ratified by all nations on 328.411 PA.
