The Joint Systems Alliance
"Lunctum per Astrum" - "Unity Throughout the Stars"
The Joint Systems Alliance (JSA) was formed by the Interstellar Federation of Magna Omega on December 31st, 2038 (Omegan Calendar) on the basis of bringing a sense of stability and unity to allied systems of the galaxy. It protects the rights of all peoples of the galaxy regardless of race. Therefore signatories of any race are accepted as long as the Alliance Doctrine is adhered to accordingly by those signatories. Each signatory will be obliged to follow the doctrine at all times of their membership and act against any threat to said doctrine accordingly. The Alliance Doctrine is as follows:
The Alliance Doctrine
Section 1: Commerce
All signatories must be willing to accept economic diversity amongst the Alliance members. Signatories with large, stable, and progressive are also obliged to give economic aid and relief to other members who lack sufficient economic sustainability and growth to provide the JSA with an overall economic and commercial strength and/or defense barrier (if necessary). Trade with non-allied foreign powers is free with the acception of weapons trade to any and all enemies of the JSA. Weapons trade within the JSA and her allies is permitted and encouraged. Slave trade of any kind is also prohibited in the JSA as is the usage or ownership of any slaves at all. The solicitation of slavery is to be condemned in and by the JSA and any and all force can be used against the intergalactic slave market. Tariffs or embargoes of any kind on the goods of other signatories will be prohibited unless sufficient reason can be put forth to the council. Tariffs or embargoes upon enemy states of the JSA are permutable.
Section 2: Government
The overall government system of the JSA is democratic. Signatories can come up with basic proposals, concerns, war proposals, and more for the JSA governance (JSA leading body) to debate and vote on. Although all signatories are to adhere to this Doctrine at all times each signatory maintains its general independence. Each nation may continue to run their government as they see fit without interference from the council or any other signatories as long as it resides in the bounds of this Doctrine. If a signatory's actions either within its own government or abroad is in question then that issue must be brought forth to the council to be addressed accordingly. From there the council will choose to disbar the signatory in question from the alliance or punish that signatory as the council sees fit. All signatories are always free to bring up their concerns. All of this shall be done in the Joint Council of the JSA. In the council chambers of the JSA capital station Delta Capita, all members of the Joint Systems Alliance are invited to take part in council sessions to vote on topics and dilemmas at hand for the betterment of the JSA and peoples of the galaxy everywhere. As stated, the council shall convene in the Delta Capita council chambers to address matters of importance. The code of conduct for the council is simple and must be adhered to. The moderator for the sessions must display objectivity and will be sworn to be objective during said hearings. The Moderator will call upon the subject(s) at hand and the representatives shall first debate them then vote on the decisions possible or to just simply dismiss the issue. The Joint Council makes the broader and more effective decisions for the JSA and votes not on independent matters unless in concerns the JSA's interests, security, commerce, etc. Ambassadors from each nation of the JSA have the right to partake in the council sessions to represent their government's interests. Heated fights or arguments that turn volatile are not permitted and will be put down by the moderator.
Section 3: Territory
All members of the Joint Systems Alliance are entitled to their own territory and are allowed to keep territory that they already own. This is part of the JSA's agreement for independence amongst signatories. Although each member's territory is considered to form "JSA space" it is under the control of the governing member there. Signatories cannot oppose the sovereignty of other signatories. This can be punishable by immediate disbarment from the alliance. The sovereignty of all signatories is to be honored by everyone in the alliance including the founder/WA delegate. The JSA also confers territorial grants upon its members and its allies as either an increase in strength, a reward, an incentive, aid, or a gesture of good faith. All signatories must make a formal request to the alliance founder or WA delegate in order to confer a territorial grant themselves. Territorial grants can be revoked due to punishment, withdrawal, disbarment, act of hostility, or war. It will be done by force if necessary. Neutral or unclaimed territory can be granted as well. For certain regions of space, however, a signatory must request permission to colonize, otherwise signatories are free to colonize any unclaimed territory at will. Signatories are requested to submit any new territory so that the alliance records may be updated. Usually state sponsored grants are without cost but single tributaries may charge as they see fit. Also, aggressive colonization, in any of its forms, will not be permutable in any action of any alliance member. This does include the strategic coaxing of hostilities in another nation to force upon them, a war of territorial gain. Upon victory in a just war, accepted by the Joint Council, a JSA participant in said conflict will not be permitted to retain territory that was obtain during the conflict unless granted to do so by the Joint Council.
Section 4: Delta Capita
Delta Capita Station is one of the largest space stations in the galaxy. With a growing population of millions, it is one of the busiest as well. This station acts as the interstellar hub for meetings with the JSA ruling bodies, foreign embassies, trade, and other political matters. Each signatory will have a designated embassy sector to operate from while other allied nations/planets/alliances will hold embassies as well. Joint Council sessions meet in the Council Chambers of the Presidium of the station to discuss matters of importance and vote on decisions of various natures. Each signatory may not keep more than fifty combat vessels at the station unless either authorized to do so or during times of war. This is to ensure the beneficial coexistence and peace amongst the alliance as well as a balance of power throughout JSA space.
Section 5: Signatory Obligations
All signatories must also appeal to a certain code of ethics. Signatories are obliged to follow ,to some point, a form of civil rights. They are also to oppose a serious offense against innocent peoples whenever and wherever it seems prevalent. The alliance is here to aid those in need and generally make the galaxy in which we all live a better place. To do this requires hard work and determination on the part of an alliance member. Ethical military tactics accepted in the alliance will be discussed in section 6.
Section 6: Military/War
When a member of the Joint Systems Alliance goes to war for a just cause or if that member comes under unprovoked or unjust attack then all other members with sufficient military capacity are obliged to come to the member's aid. Signatories must follow these guidelines for military conduct. The guidelines are brief and simple: Genocide will not be allowed, Chemical or biological weapons will not be tolerated, and nuclear weapons can only be used with permission of the council when dealing with planetary bombardment. Ship to ship nuclear weapons are acceptable. Lastly executions of prisoners or civilians without fair trial is not to be tolerated. During times of war each nation/planet's top military commanders will meet at Delta Capita in a war council to discuss strategy and the happenings and operations of the combined military efforts. When war arrises a JSA coalition will be established from the Minister of Defense and the strongest JSA members. War with other signatories may not commence unless the JSA finds some validity in the war and either chooses a side to support or remain neutral. If an immediate action is taken against a fellow signatory without the official consent of the council then both warring members will be immediately disbarred from the JSA until the matter can be resolved. Also, during war ,usually involving the whole alliance, the largest, most economically stable, and military able nations/planets will act as the commanding forces for the rest of the alliance and moderate troop deployment assignments, tactical approaches and other things vital to an ongoing war effort.
Section 7: Disbarment, Withdrawal, and Punishment
A signatory accused of conduct against the Doctrine will be brought up on charges and a hearing will be held by the rest of the JSA body to observe the evidence against the signatory and decipher their punishment or disbarment. Once a signatory is disbarred then they are no longer a signatory and will be considered a rogue state from the alliance. A signatory that is disbarred due to a somewhat minor offense can reapply within 7 days of disbarment (Real Time). The body will then approve that reapplication or turn the applicant down. Punishment for conduct contrary to the doctrine can be applied by harsh sanctions which are required by all signatories upon the offender or being banned from JSA meetings or any other meeting and hearings of importance to the JSA. Other punishments can be enforced accordingly by the JSA. If a signatory chooses to withdrawal from the JSA then that signatory will also cease its membership status effective once they give a reasonable basis for withdrawal openly then confirmed by the council.
Section 8: Alliance Leadership
A signatory chosen for alliance duties is obliged to carry those duties out as instructed. Some will be chosen to represent, organize, or defend the JSA. The top nations will be selected for these positions and, upon acceptation, will be sworn in to carry out alliance duties. These duties pertain to the order, stability, and smooth function of the alliance. Positions and their duties are:
The Vice Power: Acts as a second in command to the lead nation of the JSA and is obliged to uphold the JSA's core principles and enforce her laws. The Vice Power must administrate the acceptance or denial of nations that have applied for the JSA and aid the lead nation in its goal for the JSA's long term success.
Minister of Defense: Organizes JSA military movements, bases, fleets, and operations. Has a position of command during large scale conflicts. Keeps the JSA military organized and maintains it. Also submits candidates for possible military commendation recipients.
Minister of Commerce: Arranges trade and other acts of a commercial nature with foreign powers. Helps sustain the overall JSA economy and aids other signatories who suffer economically. It is the Minister of Commerce's duty to raise JSA import taxation, tariffs, bring in more foreign goods, increase foreign competition, maintain mutual commerce between JSA signatories, and increase the value of JSA goods.
Minister of Stellar Exploration: Launch missions of exploration in the universe for the purposes of peaceful expansion and/or colonization, scientific discovery, foreign relations, and possible military expansion. Either sets up these projects or they will be appointed to the Minister.
Minister of Technological Development: Organizes and manages the projects of weapons maintanance and development. Manages weaponry status and produces new military equipment. Supplies JSA combatants in a war with technologies, weaponry, and quartermasters. Manages the large scale development of new technologies for the JSA in virtually any field. All military weapons produced are to be submitted to the JSA Joint Council for usage approval.
Section 9: MACO
The Multiple Application Combat Operations (MACO) branch of the JSA is to be the unofficial arm of the Alliance government. Although not officially a military branch the MACOs are used to conduct military operations as well as investigations, espionage, and other clandestine intelligence operations. The MACOs play the untouchable roll be not directly acting as JSA personel and or representatives. Therefore the MACO unit and its members report to the JSA government and military council only. No one else. They are authorized to conduct their assigned missions as they see fit following a loose code of conduct only limited to atrocities as stated in the Alliance Military Doctrine. Actions specifically prohibit the unnecessary killing of civilians and unnessesary mass murder of any nature. MACO agents accused of such actions shall be brought in front of a JSA military tribunal and tried fairly in a military court. Other boarderline actions brought to view shall be looked over by said tribunal for sufficiant cause for a valid trial. All JSA members are allowed to contribute any number of their nation's best fighting units for MACO only accepts the best the JSA has to offer. A rigorous training course shall ensue and for those who pass they are official MACO agents for the JSA and must abide by the section above. MACO operations are very secretive even to felow JSA members for security interests and no JSA signatory may use their MACO units for a lone national interest. The MACOs are loyal to the JSA as a whole. Signatories may, upon announcement, withdrawl their MACOs either permanently or temporarily but once done these units shall no longer have the rights and privilages entitled to a MACO agent. They will return to active duty as standard JSA military units and may never reveal any classified infomation of MACO operations unless authorized to do so. Note that this section has not been placed in the Alliance Military Doctrine due to the fact that the MACOs are offically a government branch that works for the JSA government's interests but does not officially represent them. This political paradox is meant to sustain the political neutrality, objectivity, and safety of the JSA.

Joint Systems Military Doctrine
(Seal of the Joint Systems Military)
The code of military ethics is described in the Alliance Doctrine. The tactics of the military is a different matter. There are several scenarios in which certain affirmative military action must be taken. The following is a general military guideline to convey how certain operations are to be conducted.
1. Blockades
During an event of dispute with hostile nations/planets it may become necessary to enforce upon the hostile a blockade. Blockades are most effective during military sanctions, trade disputes, or territorial disputes. At least one fleet of at least 50 vessels is most effective. From there the blockade will block off all trade routes or possible trade routes to and from the hostile. Any sort of further military action taken against the hostile is for the JSA governance to decide. In the event of an attack by the enemy the commander in charge of the fleet has automatic permission to defend the fleet. The tactics in space combat in which to do so are at the commander's discretion.
2. Space Combat
In large fleet actions usually the bulk of the Joint Systems Fleet would be interacting in a combined attack effort to thwart the enemy. The fleet would be required to immediately establish a secure combat connection between ships. They would then work out battle strategy and tactical formations constantly as well as exchange information throughout the battle. In smaller operations ,however, involving 3 alliance members or less the combat would still be basically formatted in the same way but the smaller potential battlefield would limit the capacity for a large fight.
3. Securing a Planet
In instances where a planet must be taken the best course of action is to establish a Primary defense blockade and eliminate combatants in space or in orbit. Bombardment of key targets is the next step however civilian targets are not to be touched unless necessary. Once the target is weakened to the point that it may not have the capacity to fight then ground troops must be sent in to secure the planet. Ground battles can be long a bloody. Constant assaults on enemy positions from scattered points can help. Tactical strikes ,with the support of the navy above, will assure a victory. A commander must always remember to keep the fleet in orbit to support the troops. The infantry's position is vulnerable if the fleet leaves the combat zone in the midst of the combat operations. If ships must be redeployed they should be redeployed in squadrons at the smallest to be used as flankers for general assault and defense.
4. A Threat to the Doctrine
A threat to the Alliance Doctrine can come in the form of abuse of power, deprivation of civil rights, threat to economic stability, military threat, and unethical war conduct. In these instances the military may be called upon when diplomacy fails or cannot be accomplished. The military is required to adapt to the current situation as ordered and progress on it. Military is not always the first solution to a dispute. The JSA will always attempt to solve problems through diplomatic means before military power is brought into view.
5. JSA Civil War
In the case that the JSA is divided and diplomacy has broken down whichever force the founder (Magna Omega) supports will be considered the loyal side attempting to restore the Alliance. If the council is divided ,however, then it is solely up to the people to decide which force is the loyalist force and which is not. Support will determine the victor. During times of civil war the Alliance should always be on full military alert and Delta Capita is to be heavily defended at all times. The same should go for the leading body of the alliance. Rebelling forces will be stripped of their signatory status and will be considered rogue states until a resolution of some sort can be made.
6. Coalition
When a war or conflict arrises either the minister of Defense or the Alliance leader will call for a JSA led military coalition to face any military threat to the Doctrine. This has been established so as not to force weaker or more unwilling states into conflict. The strongest and most willing or obliged members shall be a part of the coalition in an effort to dismantle the enemy. Either the Minister of Defense or the leader shall lead the coalition. If no coalition is formed for a conflict than that conflict is to be considered an "internal affair" so the JSA will not be force into mass conflict unwillingly.
7. State of Alert
A JSA state of alert will be called when the JSA faces multiple threats or one large threat or is simply about to fall apart by a foreign power's doing. On this note all JSA militaries are to place their reaction forces on standby in preparation for deployment. Military defense are to be readied in this state of alert accordingly to the situation thereof. The alert will be called off when the situation is deemed under control or has completely ended.
