The State of the Alliance
President Jessica Galloway made her way briskly down a tiled blue marble ramp, on either side of her lithe well dressed form there were row after row of chairs that stretched clear across a vast circular chamber; they seemed to be arranged to face toward a semi circular forum made of some sort of white marble its apex being a mahogany colored podium with the great seal of the GESO upon it. Above this ornate facade and arrangement the seal of the GESO hung proudly. The laurels, the stars and the galaxy in the center stood out in gold, platinum, blue and silver.
Galloway as usual was flanked by secret service personnel on one side by a photoform drone, on the other by a human. All donning the standard black suit and ties that were so common to the organization. Galloway on the other hand, contrasted herself from her escorts and had a blue two piece suit that fit rather well upon her slender frame and accented in a polite manner her bust. The lower chamber was filled with representatives from across the GESO but above these countless seats peering through through the meta glass windows that encircled the assembly floor dignitaries and news outlet representatives from across the universe were casting their eyes downward. No doubt at Galloway, who by now had made her way toward the forum.
Galloway was experiencing that typical apprehension and tension that was familiar to anyone in such a position of leadership or politics; yet she hid this behind a facade. Her expression displayed none of her fear or nerves; in fact the wolvian smiled her slender furry hands placed themselves on the sides of the smooth mahogany podium, Galloway stood there before the galaxy, before the universe in the backdrop of the great seal of the Galactic Economic And Security Organization. This organization had only been founded three years prior to her election and she was now on her second year of her first term.
Galloway smiled, the holo links flickered to life across the galaxy with her image and the image of the chambers. Galloway seemed to relax inside of that stern shell, she cleared her throat with an iconic wolvian gruffness. Galloway looked around the chamber and began to speak, her tone seemed to carry and reverberate through the chamber.
“Five Years ago today, several diplomats and representatives gathered in this city to establish an organization on the foundation of mutual trust and co-operation between worlds from across the galaxy. These diplomats had no idea whether this grand idea would succeed; the galaxy at that time had turned its back on cooperation. The powers in the delta quadrant mockingly berated this ember as nothing more than a stillborn. Yet here we are, five years later; thirty two nations that maintain the bastion of interspecies co-operation.
GESO is not just an alliance, it is a symbol of our will and our commitment to maintaining a constructive peace; to improving the lives of its member states while celebrating and defending the individuality and independence of its cultures.
“You can never get the international community to agree to anything, alliances are dead”
A Vocanean official once said. We beg to differ, we have accomplished more together, in the five years we have existed than we would have ever dreamed of doing individually. we’ve established the largest gate network in known space, we’ve established joint research hospitals, research institutes, and a disease control center. And we’ve also committed ourselves collectively to an effort to improve the lives, not just of our own people, but of the galaxy by establishing a galactic aid organization to benefit all sapient kind.
And what have any of these nay sayers have done? We see nothing but strife, bloodshed, abhorrent war. And opportunist imperialism.
Not only has GESO established infrastructure to help those in need, those who cry out from the darkness of space whom are under the tyrannical boot of poverty, or death; but it has established itself as amongst the most technologically advanced organization and largest economies in the galaxy. So if alliances are truly dead, how are we explained?
Our belief in the spirit of sapient life to put aside their differences to benefit themselves by helping one another is our strength, the willingness to accept differing opinions the self determination of nations and the differences of cultures in this organization augments our unity adinfinitum.
I can personally say on behalf of the United Terran Alliance, that we are proud of what GESO has become and that it will always have our utmost support. The UTA, and I am certain that all of GESO will stand together no matter the threat, no matter the cost. We will perceive and we will maintain the example of how the civilized great powers of the galaxy should act; putting aside mistrust, putting aside hatred to help our fellow sapient move forth in to their own age of peace and prosperity. I ask you all, that we redouble our efforts to spread the good will that we all know we have within our essence across the universe; we've got the power by uniting in spirit and determination to make life outside of our own spheres better and to end the senseless and mindless destruction and death of war. Unity and and joint action does not and should not eliminate the unique differences that all of us have but it should thread together the common mesh of all our desires; to be free, to live as we wish. To put an end to or mitigate the need for wars that take our children, our fathers and our brothers from us.
While this is our goal and has always been our goal, it is an unfortunate truth that we must at times take up arms to defend and to preserve the very ideals of our nation and this charter and to indeed keep the torch of liberty, law, and just rule burning against the backdrop of a paranoid and hostile galaxy. We've survived, we've built something that we should all be proud of; the Ta'nar, the Sith empire, HERMES, IRON, the Resolute Syndicate.. They've all failed to impose they tyrannical and oppressive order upon the free minds and spirits of every sapient of the galaxy. No organization, no cultural norm imposed on others, and certainly no king can keep his or their subjects in the depths of despair, slavery and poverty through force indefinitely. We are not gods, nor masters of the galaxy we may be powerful but we must and should always use our resources and power for the benefit of all and not just a single nation. There are still many powers in the galaxy alien or otherwise, that seek to deprive us and innocent worlds of their freedom by a form of military blackmail, outright conquest or destruction.
We are not like these powers, we seek to build a brotherhood a sisterhood where all sapient life can be equal amongst one another, where we can all share in the benefits of our technological, and economic progress and where the cycle of hatred that spawns more hatred can indefinitely be broken by the reason of unity and the celebration of differences.
Even with this goal we need to maintain our defenses, and we need to maintain a steadfast commitment if any innocent world in our alliance is attacked, but I ask you this.. Many of you may not think of a distant world crying out for help against oppression as our problem; but what if we put ourselves in their shoes. All of us are made from the same atomic building blocks, hydrogen, carbon and other elements; our differences however are in the way of reason. GESO should continue to reach out to the galaxy to the MSU to other organizations for in our hands in his very room we have the capability, we have the power to bring out a golden age of civilization in this galaxy. Or to destroy it and render everything we've built in to ruins.
I pledge that the Terran Alliance will redouble its efforts in contributions of the GESO, and that we should all make a pledge that we will work for our people our nations and the galaxy at large through divides and differences; furthermore. We will and have proven; that GESO is not like the defunct alliances of times passed. A famous man named Carl Sagan once said so long ago.
[i]"The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. "
This can apply to all our worlds, all our home worlds moons, planets , stations.. It is a reflection of our duty to the galaxy, while the universe is vast and seemingly limitless. What is also limitless is the spirit of sapient life the will of sapient kind to do what it must when it must to trek outwards and explore the unknown, and to satisfy its curios. And it can be applied to constructing a dream of harmony and unity between all different peoples. I urge all powers in the galaxy to join in an effort to bring about the end of the use of this limitless spirit within us for destruction. The construction of empires through the use of force and the senseless slaughter of living beings; or to further the pursuit of slavery and subjugation of free peoples may seem to many nations a distant and paltry problem. But is it really?
In closing It has been an honor for our nation to be a part of this alliance and for me to speak to you; both I and the UTA thank you for contributing to our organization, let us continue our work. And let us continue to uphold the charter of the GESO as a sacrosanct declaration of our achievement!”[/i]

The Fedral Union wrote:We the sapient people of this galaxy; whom had many of their forebears struggle through the unforgiving void and maelstrom of despair, come together today in this hall in order to preserve our sacrosanct freedoms that had been won with blood, toil, and will, hence forth establish the Galactic Economic And Security Organization in order to preserve the way of life that all sapient beings; human or otherwise have the universally given right to enjoy. In order to push back the tides of darkness and chaos that would ruin the temple of personal liberty, and tarnish the essence of freedom. And so we pledge this document for both posterity and prosperity to establish a noble and enlightened league of nations dedicated to the preservation of all life, and to establish a sacrosanct conviction to defend the liberty of the individuals privy to this document. Yet we, the signatory powers recognize that violence is not the solution to every challenge; and indeed should be the final resort. The Galactic Economic And Security Organization is a faction of peace foremost, and the signatories to this treaty will uphold the virtues of honor, dignity, diplomacy, mutual cooperation, and peace.
In entering this agreement, all parties agree to mediate disputes and coexist in harmony; suffering the countless genocides, the destruction, and the subsequent galactic dark ages that followed the era of disorder we the species of the Galactic Economic and Security Organization look forth to protect ourselves; to expand our knowledge of the universe, and to better the galaxy as a whole. We do not seek conquest; we seek knowledge, understanding, and economic prosperity.
To affirm this commitment, we establish these sets of amendments based on the principle of universal liberty, cultural liberty, religious freedom, and tolerance to all races amongst us.
Article 1 Section A- All sapient beings are to be granted the freedom of expression, speech, and thought; such actions may not be censured in international zones; as these international zones fall within the jurisdiction of Allied forces; the parties involved may ask for asylum from any number of member worlds.
Article 1 Section B-
Freedom of movement; unless sacrificed by allied trade command or the receiving world, all signatories shall retain free passage to their destination. Member powers shall promote freedom of movement for goods and services between worlds, and will attempt to minimize conditions that could cause an economic imbalance in intergalactic trade between member governments. Additionally, disputes between trading powers will divest to the Galactic Commerce Committee mentioned in section 4-A of this document. However, as the Galactic Economic and Security Organization cannot impede upon the sovereign decisions of a power to restrict trade through its borders or interfere to an extent in any internal policy, a recourse for the determination of compensation for lost goods and services will be levied.
Article 1 Section C-
Realizing that extradition is a rather complicated process, and that the galaxy has a myriad of legal systems that differ from world to world; the Galactic Economic and Security Organization establishes a magisterial assembly composed of one of each member races legal representatives and their respective judges and legal councils. If the offense is committed against a citizen in international territory, then the government of the offended person is well within its rights to request extradition. However, the matter of local authorities conducting investigations cannot be overlooked, and this may cause some delay in the extradition of the perpetrator of the alleged crime. If there is a dispute between two governments about a suspect or individual, then the matter will come before a tribunal to be decided by a vote, and provided sufficient evidence is attained, the suspect will then be transferred to the most heavily offended party. In cases of sovereignty and national disputes, mediation to resolve the issue will be an additional safeguard to prevent escalation.
Article 2 section A-
Signatories to this document henceforth shall pledge to uphold the ideals of intergalactic stability, peace, and freedom. With such aims, all peoples governed under this pledge shall strive to settle disputes amongst governments through peaceful means, and should refrain from destabilizing galactic affairs with unnecessary acts of aggression.
Article 2 section B-
In case diplomacy fails, and the only remaining recourse is armed conflict, the GESO mutual defense clause in article 2 second B shall be activated to facilitate the defense of endangered worlds and the entirety of the alliance. A singular command and control battle net will be established to facilitate efficient response to situations, and all diplomatic channels shall still be attempted under this article, the use of deadly force by GESO vessels is authorized against hostile targets. Strategic plans shall be distributed to fleet commanders upon complete assessment of the situation.
Article 2 Section C-
The Galactic Economic and Security Organization shall agree to invest both funds and material into the construction of a mutually connected hyper space network. This will allow for rapid trade, rapid response to situations, and an improvement in cultural interactions between differing species within the GESO itself.
To improve cohesion and economic stability, the Terran Alliance the primary signatory of this treaty will offer its currency as a triad as reserves to facilitate ease of trade and stable financial value, it is in the best interest that it be a primary peg for two other currencies; one each from two other founding powers to maintain maximum stability. Additional provisions to these other currencies maturing will allow them to appreciate to reasonable levels.
Article 2 Subsection C-2
Additionally, an optional technology sharing agreement between member powers is available for exploitation, and it is believed that it will further the cause of science.
Article 3 Section A-
To guarantee the functionality of this treaty to its fullest extent, member worlds jointly and individually by effective self-sustained capacity and mutual aid, will maintain and improve upon a collective and sufficient self defense capacity to resist armed aggression.
Article 3 Section B-
If armed aggression against a member state occurs, then article 2, section b shall be activated. If it is so chosen by the power under attack however, the GESO shall reserve the right to intervene in conflicts if certain situations are involved. Minor incidents can henceforth be brought forth to be mediated, and if a significant threat is recognized by the allied power, an emergency meeting of the Security Council shall be called to debate the ramifications of any potential actions.
Article 4 Section A-
The Galactic Economic and Security Organization in this clause establishes the need for a joint venture between all signatory powers to maintain a uniform defense and exploration force; this Galactic Reaction Force will be endowed with, amongst other tasks, to defend the GESO, its member states, and all those who require assistance. The GRF command staff including the supreme allied commander will be accountable directly to the security council. The GRF will be established as a defensive force, an exploration force, and a force for humanitarian aid; funded through voluntary donations of material, equipment, credits, personnel, and expertise.
Article 4 Section B-
The use of strategic weapons by any ships within the GRF fleet can only be initiated through approval of the chain of command of the GRF, and of its trusted adjuncts, or if the need is so dire that there is no other recourse but to use strategic level weaponry, or by orbital collapsed antimatter bombardment to stellar disruption. Tesseractation must be justified to the upmost detail, and can only be considered if the previous two methods have failed or were only minimally effective.
Article 4 Section C -
The GRF, shall be established as a unified military, exploratory and defense organization sanctioned to carry out the duties of collective defense, first contact and strategic or tactical operations; the GRF council will be composed of high ranking officers from member states with each respecting officer coordinating with if time and necessity permits a supreme allied commander in order to facilitate smooth logistical operations and interoperability of allied forces.
the SAC shall be chosen by consensus and vote of the GRF admiralty as needed but otherwise the post shall remain vacant until noted otherwise.
Article 5 Section A-
The Galactic Economic and Security Organization, noting the fact that an overall speaker and presiding member over council meetings is needed, hereby establishes the office of the Secretary General. This office, while limited in its powers will chair meetings and make statements to the general public, as well as attain the tie braking vote should a deadlock situation ever arise. If a Secretary General is ever in need of impeachment, than the security council shall have full authority to remove the speaker. The speaker's term shall last for no longer than two years, but may be reelected via a vote by the council.
