Sol-Cerberi Concordat

When Terrans made their first relay jump to the Tau Cerberi star system, the Osiryx Federation knew they were in for a world of trouble. The Terrans were stubborn, steadfast in their refusal to disarm themselves and their fleet (being only 3 ships large at the time). They were excited to experience a new galaxy without the constant and watchful eye of the Osiryx Federation.

The Osiryx Federation knew that they would have to navigate this new found alliance carefully if they wanted to avoid disaster. In order to do that, they needed to draft a set of ground rules that would appeal to the Terrans.

C'Tando, an Alkor of the Osiryx Federation, enlisted three of the finest Ulmaatis scholars they knew: N’Arak, L’Chani, and C’Essar. C’Tando asked the three of them to draft a treaty, outlining the rules that Terrans would have to follow when exploring or settling parts of the Ceberi Galaxy and Osiron as a whole. They were also asked to outline the amount of power the Osiryx Federation would have over the Terran settlers that made the relay jump to Tau Cerberi, as well as how much say the Terrans would have in intergalactic affairs.

Dawn of the Concordat

Writing started off relatively quickly in UGY 5306. N’Arak, L’Chani and C’Essar were used to working together. They would spend upwards of 20 hours writing a day, eager to finish the draft as soon as possible. The document (originally known just as ‘the concordat’ for simplicity's sake) was a kept a secret from the Terrans for the first few months, but by the time the first draft of the concordat was halfway finished, one of the crew members of the Hercules V caught wind of the concordat’s creation.

For the most part, the Terrans were understanding. Of course a treaty would need to be drafted between them and the Osiryx Federation would need to be created in order for them to truly make a home in Osiron. Some Terrans were furious though at the idea that a completely foreign entity would have any kind of control over them.

Their anger grew when part of the initial draft was leaked. Within the leaked sections were detailed plans from the Osiryx Federation on disarming the Terran fleet - both its people and it’s ships. It became difficult, both for the Captains and Majors of the Hercules V, the Falcon II, and the Golden Lightning, and the Alkors of the Osiryx Federation.

This outrage led to the Osiryx Federation temporarily shutting down the Exodus Cerberi relay station and forcing the Terrans to stay in a Federation owned sector of Chatau's Landing until the concordat was signed and agreed. This only succeeded in growing the Terran’s hatred of the Osiryx Federation.

Eventually, Captain Ziegler and Major Sinclair approached C’Tando with a compromise: they would quell the rising anger in the Terrans, so long as they were consulted on the concordat before the draft was finished.

Uprising at Li’Karo

It took an entire year for tensions between the Terrans confined to Li’Karo and the Osiryx Federation to be eased. For the first four months, there were constant attacks on ‘federation dogs’ working at Li’Karo, damage of property, and escape attempts.

Where the latter was concerned, any successful attempts at escaping the Li’Karo compound were met with lethal force from the Osiryx Federation. After the third successful escape attempt and subsequent set of Terran deaths, Captain Ziegler and Major Sinclair were driven to act before the remaining Terrans attempted to overthrow the Li’Karo compound.

Drafts and the Finish Touches

With the Terrans (mostly) subdued, N’Arak, L’Chani and C’Essar were able to continue writing the concordat, albeit at a slightly slower pace than before. The three of them would say that Captain Ziegler and Major Sinclair were more often just plain disruptive and didn’t bring any constructive feedback to the table, but C’Tando was adamant that they continued their consultation.

By the end of UGY 5307, the first draft was ready to be read by the other Alkor and the Captains and Majors of the Terrans. The Terrans would also send a copy of the first draft back to the The Intergalactic Terran Initiative so that they could proof the concordat as well.

Of course, like all first drafts, the concordat was amended multiple times. The first draft sat at an amazing 1400 pages, but most of that was cut. By the time the final version of the concordat was ready, there were only 1100 pages.

The Final Concordat

The final version was agreed and signed in UGY 5310. Signatories for the Osiryx Federation were Alkor C’Tando, Alkor Velle Vani, and Alkor Z'Koshi. Signatories for the Intergalactic Terran Initiative were Captain Astrid Elizabeth Ziegler, Major Jonas Sinclair, and Major Camilla Sainz.
