We, the members of the Quadrant Coalition, in order to protect our citizens and those of our fellow nations; serve for the common defense; prevent hostilities against nations in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants; and provide for the greater good, do hereby swear to unite our military forces into this coalition.
1.) The Quadrant Coalition exists to defend the Alpha and Beta Quadrants against attack from points beyond. To respect the sovereignty of the nations within the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, we respect the right of each nation to defend its own borders within territorial space. In international space, however, we shall defend the Quadrants as a whole from attack.
2) The Quadrant Coalition is a defensive coalition, and does not condone pre-emptive attacks by member states outside of the boundaries set by the Quadrant Coalition. If a member state is to pre-emptively strike a nation outside the Alpha or Beta Quadrants, the Quadrant Coalition shall disavow the attack, refuse support for such an attack, and shall suspend the offending nation, with the length of time determined by the severity of the attack. Member states that support the attack shall find themselves in violation of the coalition charter and shall be suspended, with the length of time determined by the severity of the attack.
3) Upon request by any state within the Alpha or Beta Quadrants for assistance in any form, whether economic, military, or medical; whether a member of the coalition or not, the members of the coalition shall assist the nation in question in manners appropriate and requested.
4) The Quadrant Coalition has no authority over the territorial space of any nation within any Quadrant outside of their member states’ territorial spaces, and members may not attempt to apply their law to another nation’s in such a fashion. Members who attempt to do so shall be suspended by the Quadrant Coalition for an indefinite amount of time.
5) The Coalition’s grand authority is the Head Council, which is made up of one representative each of each member state that is not suspended at the time. Each state has one vote, and all proposals to the Coalition shall be voted on by the Head Council.
6) Nations may express their wish to join the coalition to any member nation, who shall immediately submit such a wish to the Head Council, which shall vote on the matter.
7) The Quadrant Coalition’s primary purpose is to defend the Alpha and Beta Quadrants against hostile actions from nations outside the respective quadrants. “Hostile actions” are defined as a declaration of war or military action against Alpha and Beta Quadrant nations. To respect national sovereignty, the Coalition shall only enter territorial space as per the request of the nation occupying the respective space.
8) The Coalition shall not be party to any wars among nations in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, or wars among nations in the Gamma and Delta quadrants. Member states are not banned from taking military action within these areas, but any action not explicitly granted by points 1, 2, and 7 shall not be considered as jurisdiction of the Coalition.
9) The Coalition shall not have jurisdiction over Special Sectors, which are considered neutral due to various external factors, regardless of geographic placement.
