Background: The UCPA is currently Hiroshiko's "prime directive." Anyone can join and support this act.

Technological contamination may lead to the destruction of a technologically inferior civilization. The UCPA is stated below.

Article 1: The prime characteristic of an advanced civilization
a. Advanced civilizations have incorporated the use of lightspeed technology or other general equivalents to travel through interstellar space.
Article 2: The prime characteristic of an underdeveloped civilization

Article 3: The protection of underdeveloped civilizations

b. Advanced civilizations cannot colonize planets with underdeveloped civilizations already thriving on it.
c. Advanced civilizations are prohited to conquer and enslave a planet that contains underdeveloped civilizations.

c. In an event of an emergency, any ship belonging to an advanced civilization may land on a planet designated as underdeveloped. They may not, however, interfere with technological progress as stated in Article 3a.
d. An indirect contact with an underdeveloped civilization may be established if an advanced civilization wishes to obtain knowledge of that particular underdeveloped civilization. However, they cannot interfere with technological progress as stated in Article 3a.
Article 5: Punishment in violation of the Act

Article 6: Exceptions to the Act
a. If an advanced civilization already uses a set of laws similar to the UCPA, then those laws can be executed and then be assimilated with or take the place of Article 3 and Article 4. However, the local laws must be approved by the majority before they are approved.
