The Interplanetary Act

**The Interplanetary Act** was a Unigov ruling following their defeat during The Lunar Revolution in early 2196. It was submitted to all planetoids in The Solar System with human inhabitants in mid 2196, and unanimously accepted. The bulk of the document outlined further plans of action of Unigov and suggested plans of action for independent colonies. It was drafted by Frank Johnson and the Unigov high command, and separated into six sections.

#### Section 1: Free Status

Effective immediately; Luna is considered liberated from Unigov control in totality. Jerry Montpelier will be considered active administrator of independent lunar affairs by Unigov until further notice. All forerunning colonies planned to house Unigov personnel and installations are considered freed from their contractual obligation and advised to self-govern unless unable to do so. Inability to govern will result in Unigov assistance or occupation on request. Core Unigov planetoids are still considered property of Unigov. Let it be known that further attacks on Unigov will not be permitted with the same grace, and will be met with overwhelming retaliation.

#### Section 2: Conditions of Control

Unigov will establish an embassy on every planetoid wishing to discuss further trade. We believe that independent colonies will allow for more economic freedom. To submit a request for Unigov occupation, the planetary overseer must receive approval from the leader of every township or establishment with a sizable and self-sustaining population and submit the request to Unigov headquarters on Earth. Unigov will not allow for partial occupation of a world outside of embassies and trade centers, as we feel this will be counterproductive and cause divisiveness amongst the populace of the independent worlds.

#### Section 3: Conditions of Trade

Assuming no further hostile encounters occur; trade will be requested with the independent planetoids. If accepted, trade centers will be situated around the embassy on the world. Trade will function as a network, and will not be streamlined to Unigov. Trade is strongly advised to occur between and amongst the other independent colonies as well. Due to certain planetoids' resources, this will benefit the system at large.

#### Section 4: Prisoner Exchange

At this time we immediately request on behalf of Jerry Montpelier and his army to return all captured hostages. Failure to do so will result in the agreement becoming void. Enemies of Unigov captured from other planetoids will be returned to law enforcement on their home colonies as a sign of good faith.

#### Section 5: Status of Seized Property

All seized physical and digital Unigov property on Luna is now considered property of the lunar colonists, and is requested not to be sent back, with notable exception to hostages, which were covered in the above section. Due to the sheer amount of colonist property seized, and the inability to be able to accurately find and send back said property to all rightful owners; Unigov will provide supply drops of both essentials and non-essentials for the next 2 years and 6 months.

#### Section 6: Status of Seized Land

Unigov retains the right to choose placement of embassy and trade centers on any world accepting beneficial relations with Unigov. Worlds have the right to establish their own independence if desired. Partially occupied worlds will meet with said world's leaders and negotiate dissolving borders.
