## Overview

Alien Contact is a special Military program tasked with undertaking peaceful and mutually beneficial first contact with newly discovered intelligent, spacefaring alien species. It had been mathematically proven that intelligent aliens must exist, and the Alien Contact charter had been in place for centuries.

The Program was activated for the first-time during *Earth Star* in 2789 when an unmanned alien probe approached Earth and stopped in a geostationary orbit above Earth Africa.

## History

Alien Contact Program was established by General Marshall Tellon Blaze because of his serious concern of the threat humanity would face when meeting intelligent, spacefaring aliens. He issued standing orders, both open orders for preparation and closed orders for the event when humanity actually met aliens.

## Protocol

Everything related to Alien Contact is classified code black. According to the Alien Contact charter, Joint Sector High Congress Committee must be immediately notified that the Program has been activated, and they may then convene to elect whether notify the full Parliament of Planets and/or the general public. Alien Contact has two known premises that must guide all decision making:

**Premise One** - Conflict should be avoided, if possible, since attacking an alien race of inferior technology is unnecessary, while attacking one of superior technology could result in the extinction of the human race. As such, an unprovoked attack should be avoided.

**Premise Two** - If aliens find humanity before humanity finds aliens, it should be assumed that they have superior technology.

## Emergency powers

Because of the importance of ensuring a peaceful first contact, Alien Contact has a virtually unlimited budget, and all tactical decisions remain in the hands of the Military unless overridden by a vote of full Parliament.

Once activated, Alien Contact uses pre-empts to quickly and directly portal vast amounts of materiel and personnel to the Alien Contact base without the public questioning why so many military personnel are traveling to a specific location.

If necessary, the protection of humanity laws can be overridden under Alien Contact in order to safeguard the survival of humanity. In Earth Flight (Earth Girl 3), these laws are overridden when the implantation of Jarra's immune system control web encounters complications, and brain regrowth and brain pattern restoration are required.

## Bases

Prior to the activation of the Alien Contact Program, Alien Contact had an unknown number of Military and CAS bases preparing for the eventual activation and contact with Aliens.

In 2781 Drago and Jaxon became aware of the secret Alien contact base located in space around Academy and staffed with a group of CAS specialist, lead by Supervisory Command Sergeant Major Keller, when they had to use one of the experimental ships to travel to the Drop Portal Dead Zone around Sol to repair and replace one of the Solar Watch satellites.

Very rapidly after the Alien Contact Program was activated in 2789, Military Base 79 Zulu was established on Earth. After the alien home world was discovered in Zeta Sector, a new command base named Gateway, was established on a nearby, barren planet.
