✦ Allied Membership and Representation
If you are a writer, member, owner, or leader of a minor faction, sub-faction, merchant guild, company, corporation, conglomerate, world, order, organization, or similar group, and you want Farworlds Alliance membership or representation, please notify the MFO.
Let us know that you would like your group and its information added to the Charter. Once approved and organized, it will be updated on Discord and on the main faction page.
To help keep everything clear, please fill out the brief template provided and include any extra details you would like represented.
✦ The IC Charter
By joining the Major Faction, you agree to the in-character Farworlds Alliance Charter.
Writers are welcome to write with the community, participate in public stories, and build connections without being gatekept. The Farworlds Alliance is not a purely Light Side-aligned faction; its story is about building a real alliance between different worlds, groups, leaders, and interests.
Things can get messy in character. That is part of the story.
However, if a group, organization, leader, planet, or allied member is found or proven to have broken the Charter, there may be in-character consequences. The Charter exists to support roleplay, not limit it.
Members are encouraged to bring concerns forward if they believe something should be addressed in character.
✦ Internal Investigations
You may bring accusations or concerns forward for internal investigation before the Farworlds Alliance Assembly.
This begins the in-character process of review, discussion, and possible consequence within the Farworlds Alliance structure.
The
Farworlds Alliance is a collection of sovereign worlds, independent powers, and allied peoples joined by shared purpose rather than a single throne or overarching government.
Membership in the Farworlds Alliance is an agreement to stand together in
defense, refuge, trade, and mutual responsibility while preserving the character, customs, and rule of each member entity. Those who seek a seat at the
Farworlds Alliance Assembly table do so as partners, not subjects; by joining, each member accepts the Charter, agrees to uphold its laws, and takes on the responsibilities and obligations required to do their part as a member of the Farworlds Alliance. The freedoms protected by the Farworlds Alliance must be honored in good faith by all who claim its banner.
No world may hold membership in the
Farworlds Alliance while maintaining, protecting, profiting from, or knowingly permitting:
- Sentient slavery
- Trafficking
- Forced labor
- Debt bondage
- The sale of captive populations
This rule applies to any government, noble house, corporation, military authority, religious order, merchant guild, planetary official, or other power acting with the protection, permission, or deliberate blindness of a member world.
The Farworlds Alliance does not require every world to rule alike, but every world must answer for what is done beneath its banners.
Members of the
Farworlds Alliance retain the right to:
- Govern according to their own laws, customs, and traditions.
- Keep their own rulers, councils, courts, guilds, faiths, and local authorities.
- Maintain their own defense forces, fleets, trade agreements, and internal security.
- Settle internal matters without outside interference, unless those matters violate the Charter.
- Bring disputes, threats, or grievances before the Farworlds Alliance Assembly.
- Receive the protections, aid, and shared benefits granted by membership.
These rights are protected by the Farworlds Alliance, but they do not override the Charter or remove a member's responsibilities to the Farworlds Alliance.
Member worlds of the
Farworlds Alliance agree to maintain peace, good faith, and lawful conduct between one another. Rivalries, disputes, trade conflicts, border tensions, and political grievances may be brought before the
Farworlds Alliance Assembly for mediation, but membership does not protect acts of aggression, conquest, or abuse.
Member worlds may not:
- Wage unprovoked war against another member world.
- Use Farworlds Alliance protection to pursue private conquest, vendettas, or raids against outside territories.
- Knowingly shelter Sith, slaver, pirate, raider, trafficking, or cult assets that prey upon Farworlds Alliance space.
- Protect criminal, slaver, raider, or cult forces as a matter of policy.
- Commit species cleansing, mass persecution, forced displacement, or state-sanctioned extermination against any people under their authority.
A member world may suffer crime, corruption, infiltration, or internal conflict without being in violation of the Charter. It becomes a Charter matter when that world knowingly protects, permits, funds, or excuses such harm beneath its banners.
When a member world is accused of violating the Charter, the
Farworlds Alliance shall first seek truth before punishment.
An inquiry may be opened by the Farworlds Alliance Assembly, by petition from refugees, by request from a member world, or by evidence gathered through patrols, envoys, merchants, relief ships, investigators, or allied organizations.
The accused world shall be given the opportunity to answer the charge before the
Farworlds Alliance Assembly. A tribunal may be held where the accuser may present their claim, the accused may respond, evidence may be reviewed, and witnesses may be heard.
During an inquiry, the Farworlds Alliance may:
- Request records.
- Inspect relevant sites.
- Interview witnesses and refugees.
- Protect witnesses from retaliation.
- Appoint neutral observers, envoys, legal advocates, relief officials, or security detachments.
- Remove captives to neutral care if immediate danger is present.
A world that hides evidence, threatens witnesses, destroys records, bribes investigators, or bars lawful inquiry may be treated as acting in defiance of the Charter.
When a Charter violation is alleged, the
Farworlds Alliance follows a measured process of
proof, judgment, correction, and consequence. The goal is truth before punishment, reform where reform is possible, protection where people are endangered, and expulsion where a member refuses to honor the Charter.
Step One: Formal Hearing
A formal hearing may be held before the
Farworlds Alliance Assembly when a member is accused of violating the Charter. The accuser must present proof, testimony, records, witness statements, or other evidence supporting the charge.
The accused member must be given the opportunity to answer the accusation, present evidence, call witnesses, and defend its actions before judgment is made. The Farworlds Alliance Assembly may hold an open tribunal, appoint neutral observers, and request further inquiry before reaching a finding.
No member may be punished on rumor alone.
Step Two: Demand for Satisfaction
If the accused member is found in violation of the Charter, the Farworlds Alliance Assembly may issue formal
terms of satisfaction. These terms are meant to end the violation, protect those harmed, and give the member a clear path back into good standing.
Terms of satisfaction may include:
- Release of captives.
- An end to the offending practice.
- Open access to records and sites.
- Permission for neutral observers.
- Protection for witnesses and refugees.
- Evacuation or relief access for affected populations.
- Prosecution or removal of responsible officials, houses, guilds, commanders, or authorities.
- A formal apology, admission of fault, or public redress.
- A fixed date by which reform must be completed.
If the member accepts fault, makes amends, corrects the violation, and satisfies the terms in good faith,
no further action is required.
Step Three: Suspension
If a member refuses satisfaction, obstructs inquiry, rejects the finding, or continues the violation, the Farworlds Alliance Assembly may
suspend its membership.
A suspended member may lose:
- Voting rights.
- Assembly access.
- Shared defense privileges.
- Convoy protection.
- Trade privileges.
- Military aid.
- Representation in Farworlds Alliance proceedings.
Suspension is a formal warning, not expulsion. The member remains outside good standing until it complies with the Charter.
Step Four: Sanctions and Isolation
If defiance continues, the Farworlds Alliance may impose
sanctions against the offending government, house, guild, corporation, fleet, or authority responsible for the violation.
Sanctions may include:
- Closing ports.
- Freezing trade charters.
- Denying military support.
- Revoking licenses.
- Blacklisting vessels.
- Seizing trafficked cargo.
- Detaining slaver ships.
- Cutting the offending power from Farworlds Alliance protection.
Sanctions should be aimed at the guilty power, not the innocent people trapped beneath it. Relief ships, refugee corridors, medical aid, and evacuation efforts may continue where possible.
Step Five: Humanitarian Intervention
If captives are in immediate danger, mass harm is underway, or the offending power remains in open defiance of the Charter, the Farworlds Alliance may authorize
humanitarian intervention.
Such action is not conquest. It is the protection of lives, the evacuation of endangered people, the seizure of trafficked persons, the containment of the offending power, and the dismantling of active systems of bondage.
If the offending member lies within formal Farworlds Alliance territory, the Farworlds Alliance may support the restoration or establishment of lawful local governance with the consent of the affected population. This may include recognizing reformist leaders, civic councils, planetary representatives, or provisional authorities willing to uphold the Charter.
The Farworlds Alliance does not move against a world because it has crime, unrest, or corruption. It acts when those in power make abuse into law, profit, or policy.
Step Six: Expulsion
A member that refuses reform may be formally
expelled from the Farworlds Alliance.
Expulsion removes all rights, privileges, protections, and representation granted by membership. The expelled world is named publicly, cut from the Farworlds Alliance, and treated as an outlaw or hostile power until it proves reform before the Farworlds Alliance Assembly.
No world is owed a seat at the table while chains are hidden beneath it.
