Treaty of the United Federation of Planets' Members' Independance
[treatymaker]
We, Starfleet Command do hereby pledge that we will offer any aid or assistance that we can to all former UFP member planets (the below signers), races and civilisations during the process of independance(a).
We promise to assist them if they are attacked or any natural disaster threaten them.
We understand that this treaty does not obligate us to assist the races if they choose to go to war, nor does it force us to give any more than 5% of what we own in regards to military, ships or monetary aid.
We promise to continue in a civilised manner towards all former UFP members just as we did whilst the United Federation of Planets was still at power. This means we will adhere to the prime directive when dealing with external affairs directly related to the planets in question.
We understand that this contract gives us control of the below signing military & intelligence forces during the process of independance.
This contract cannot conflict with any existing contracts or treaties, it does not take priority(b) and becomes temporarily void (c)if a force that we are allied with attempts to invade the planets or civilisations in question.
(a)This contract remains controlling until the process of indepenance is complete - this is when the civilisation in question applies for complete control of their empire, including their military, defence & intelligence organisations or if the New Federation of Planets feels that they are abusing this treaty in any way, or if the New Federation feels that the contract has been open for such a long time(d) that the individual society can function on its own without Starfleets assistance
(b)If there is a conflict between this treaty and another; this treaty takes the lowest priority: Starfleet will uphold its obligations to all other treaties before this one as it is an offer of assistance after the treachery of the renegade planets, and technically not a binding contract(e)
(c)If there is a conflict between this treaty and another; this treaty, due to its low priority will not be upheld: it will become temporarily void, this means that for the duration of the conflict of treaties Starfleet is not obliged to uphold any part of this treaty to the individual civilisation(f) where there is a conflict.
(d)The New Federation of Planets has decided that this treaty will officially become void after a year (1 month R.T) of it being signed.
(e)This is an offer of assistance to the former United Federation of Planets, it is not a binding contract. Should starfleet feel the need to collapse this contract it can apply to do so before the Galactic Council in the Q continuum. The reasons however must be accurate and clearly defined. The Q continuum does still consider this treaty valid until such a time that Starfleet feels that the protected civilisations, planets & races are either abusing their protection or for some other reason no longer in need of said protection
(f)If this treaty conflicts with another treaty that Starfleet has it is temporarily made void. However the contract still stands for any protected civilisations, planets & races that are not involved within the contract
We, the below signed; former UFP members do hereby accept the terms above and accept that this treaty although extremely important is not legally binding if the Q continuum grant Starfleet an exit from this contract(a - f)
We also understand that if we wish to end this treaty it will not be considered an act of agression but an act of thanks to all that Starfleet has been able to do for us, and that we have the ability to leave at any time we see fit.
