The citizens of the L’nhraei Commonwealth of Planets and the citizens of The Alliance of Incorporated Worlds meet with an understanding of our past peaceful natures together in a forum that is characteristic of that nature. We are citizens of civilised nations, who understand that the civilised way is that of peace, and we work together to condone that future relations amongst our two nations remain thus. This treaty is written to ensure that our two nations may always work with one another to resolve future disputes, and disagreements. This treaty is written to ensure that our two natures may always co-operate with one another to ensure economic prosperity, as well as cultural prosperity. We are of two divergent histories, with the hope of joining them together in peace. We proposed this treaty as our declaration that normal, peaceful relations exist between our two governments.

We, the peoples of the L’nhraei Commonwealth of Planets and The Alliance of Incorporated Worlds affirm that two separate, legitimate governments represent our two peoples. The L’nhraei Commonwealth of Planets hereby recognises the legitimacy of The Alliance of Incorporated Worlds to conduct its own policies, both domestically and externally in its own manner. The Alliance of Incorporated Worlds hereby recognises the legitimacy of the L’nhraei Commonwealth of Planets to conduct its own policies, both domestically and externally, in its own manner. Neither nation shall question the legitimacy of either government unless clear proof can be made that the government no longer represents its people.

We, the peoples of the Parthian Imperium and The Alliance of Incorporated Worlds affirm that a condition of peace exists between our two nations. No military vessel of the L’nhraei Commonwealth of Planets or The Alliance of Incorporated Worlds may open fire on the other’s vessels, except in defence of life. Neither nation shall invade or attack the other.

The L’nhraei Commonwealth of Planets and The Alliance of Incorporated Worlds understand and affirm that the commencement of friendly relations begins with the respect of boundaries of our two nations.
