League of Neutral Worlds

The League of Neutral Worlds was a political organization that consisted of star systems that did not side with the Kiros Alliance or Valzovech Pact before or during their war. The League was headed by Premier Alyndra Paxalim of Honnervus.

## Description

The League of Neutral Worlds was a group of planets and systems that were led by Premier Altndra Paxalim of Honnervus and included representatives from Sambre, Talzev, Troisnom, Aku, Vinto, and Enosdin.

Most of the economies of members of the Council of Neutral Systems needed free trade with both the Kiros Alliance and the Valzovech Pact in order to have sustainability, and wanted what was best for their planets, although it should be noted that some members attempted to seek war profits.

The official holiday of the League was Peace Day, and has been celebrated on the first of Vrila every year since CY 1884.

## History

After the Zaolian Wars, Valzovech and Hisperians quickly emerged as interplanetary rivals and dragged their allies into their disputes as well.  The two rivals distrusted each other for various reasons.  The Hisperians were suspicious of the Valzovech for refusing aid after their planet was devastated in the war, and seeming miraculously recovering within only a few years. Meanwhile, Hisperia and their allies, all of whom had been at war for less time, took much longer to rebuild.  As Zaokosk, a hidden moon of Zaolia, and its resources were known only to the Valzovech, the Hisperians thought that the Valzovech may have worked with the Zaolians in the late stages of the war and were withholding information and resources from their planetary neighbors.  This distrust was further fueled by the Valzovech’s adoption of Zaolian technologies and their construction of a large space fleet, which was largely composed of Zaolian ships that had been decommissioned with their defeat.  This prompted Hisperian special forces units to begin research into Zaolian technologies as a means to close the technological gap.  The Valzovech eventually discovered the endeavours of the Hisperian Special Forces and this fueled the distrust between the two nations.  Tensions were at an all time high in the early 1880s, and as the Valzovech began constructing military bases and listening outposts and recruiting allies that encroached upon the Hisperian territories.  This culminated in the Skirmish on Travo, which saw Valzovech and Hisperian forces clash above Travo.  Thirty people died in the skirmish, and representatives from both the Valzovech Pact and Kiros Alliance rushed to minimize tensions.  The result was the CY 1884 Treaty of Troisnom, which saw the Hisperian Imperium reduced in size (losing Honnervus, Talzev, Vinto, and Aku, all of which had been vying for independence, as well as merging the Duchy of Ôuestenländenn with the Princedom of Zonne) and the Valzovech Pact pulled back militarily and economically from the Bayyron and Kondu systems.  The second part of the treaty called for the formerly Hisperian worlds to form the League of Neutral Worlds.  The Treaty was signed on 27 Çanan 1884.

The Covenant of the League of Neutral Worlds was signed on 28 Çanan 1884 as Part II of the Treaty of Troisnom, and it became effective together with the rest of the Treaty on 1 Vrila 1884.

The first meeting of the Council of the League took place on 5 Vrila 1884, and the first meeting of Assembly of the League took place on 15 Erund 1920.

## Goals and Mission

The organization's primary goals, as stated in its Covenant, included preventing wars through collective security and disarmament and settling interplanetary disputes through negotiation and arbitration.  Other issues the League addressed included labour conditions, just treatment of native inhabitants, sentient being trafficking, drug trafficking, the arms trade, medical development initiatives, prisoners of war, and protection of minorities throughout various systems.

## Languages

The official languages of the League of Neutral Worlds were Cordelian and Sinntaral Standard. Hisperian and Honnervan were also common languages.

## Emblems

In CY 1887, an emblem for the League of Nations emerged: a two golden stars with 5 points each overlaid on each other on a gray background. The Bright Stars Flag became recognized as a symbol of peace.
