Preamble
Article I – Freedom of Belief and Practice
Article I-A – Protection of Force Sensitives
Article II – Registration of Force Sensitives
Article II-A – Force Classification System
Article III – Restricted Techniques and Ethical Use
Article IV – Foreign Force-Users and Tourism
Article V – Enforcement and Penalties

Article VII – Closing Declarations

1. Preamble

The Diarchy recognizes the Force as a universal phenomenon, accessible to all beings regardless of belief or alignment. To protect the rights of citizens and uphold state integrity, this Charter defines the lawful scope of Force use within Diarchy-controlled territory.

2. Article I – Freedom of Belief and Practice

The Diarchy guarantees freedom of religion, ideology, and Force tradition.
Practitioners may align with the Light, Dark, or Neutral aspects of the Force, provided their actions do not bring harm to Diarchy citizens or destabilize state infrastructure.
No discrimination shall be made on the basis of Force alignment alone.

3. Article I-A – Protection and Honor of Force Sensitives

No Force-sensitive citizen, regardless of classification, may be compelled into military, religious, or governmental service solely on the basis of their abilities.
Conscription into the Brotherhood or Lilaste Order is not mandatory, but those who volunteer to serve are highly praised as defenders and heroes of the Diarchy.
Force sensitives who take the Oath of Service whether in the military, government, or research are publicly recognized with national honors.
This cultural reverence stems from the belief that to wield the Force in defense of the Diarchy is a sacred act of unity, discipline, and devotion to the people.
Voluntary service remains a cornerstone of Diarchy nationalism; though not required, it is viewed as one of the highest acts of loyalty a citizen can perform.
Brotherhood recruitment teams (scouts) are authorized to identify and approach the families of Force-sensitive children for assessment and mentorship opportunities. However, participation is entirely voluntary parents and guardians retain the final decision on whether a child begins formal training.
These scouts act as advisors and educators, not press-gangs; their role is to guide families, explain options, and foster pride, standing in contrast to the conscription and separation practices of the Jedi Orders of old.
Force-sensitive individuals retain the right to autonomy, education, and civilian life free from coercion or manipulation.
Recruitment or manipulation of Force-sensitives under duress including mental domination, contractual deceit, or institutional pressure is classified as a Level-Two Coercive Offense under Diarchy law.
The Diarchy acknowledges that the Force is a gift, not an obligation; no citizen shall be made a weapon against their will, yet none are shamed for choosing to become one.

4. Article II – Registration of Force Sensitives

All Force-sensitive individuals residing within Diarchy space must register with the Office of Force Registration and Oversight (O.F.R.O.).
Registration includes:
- Full identification and biological record
- Declared Force discipline or tradition
- Documentation of known affiliations (Order, Cult, Military, etc.)
Unregistered Force use may result in investigation or detention pending verification.
Registration provides certain legal protections, including recognized standing in disputes involving Force activity.

5. Article II-A – Force Classification System

Upon registration, all Force-sensitive individuals are evaluated by the O.F.R.O. and Lilaste Order specialists. Each registrant is assigned a classification code based on their measured power, control, and potential risk factor.

Class Code	Designation	Description	Supervision Level
Class-0 (Dormant)	Non-active Sensitives	Individuals who possess minor Force-sensitivity but no measurable or trainable abilities.	None
Class-I (Adept)	Trained Sensitives	Capable of minor telekinesis, perception, or self-enhancement.	Minimal
Class-II (Practitioner)	Standard Force-Users	Fully trained users capable of offensive or defensive Force use.	Periodic review
Class-III (Ascendant)	High-Power Operatives	Able to cause large-scale effects or advanced techniques; require ethical clearance.	Ongoing O.F.R.O. monitoring
Class-IV (Prime)	Exceptional Entities	Users with environmental or cognitive influence capacity; potentially catastrophic.	DISF & Diarch oversight
Class-V (Apex/Divine)	Mythic Tier	Reality-altering beings or entities of divine potential.	Constant observation; restricted travel

Document Seals:
White (0) • Blue (I) • Green (II) • Gold (III) • Crimson (IV) • Black Seal (V)

Evaluation Cycle:
Reviewed every five standard years or upon power escalation. Refusal to submit for review constitutes non-compliance and grounds for detainment.

6. Article III – Restricted Techniques and Ethical Use

The following Force techniques are restricted except under approved conditions:
- Ritualistic magicks
- Sith or Nightsister alchemy
- Mental domination and enslavement
These practices are prohibited unless:
1. All participating parties have entered a mutual, voluntary contract free from coercion; or
2. They are used against recognized enemies of the Diarchy under sanctioned combat operations.
The use of any such technique upon Diarchy citizens, without explicit authorization, constitutes a Class-A criminal offense.

7. Article IV – Foreign Force-Users and Tourism

Visiting Force-users are permitted entry into Diarchy territory but are subject to enhanced background checks.
Depending on risk assessment, visitors may be shadowed by Diarchy security personnel for an undetermined duration.
All foreign practitioners must respect local laws and are prohibited from performing Force rituals or training without Diarchy authorization.

8. Article V – Enforcement and Penalties

Enforcement is primarily handled by the Lilaste Order, in coordination with the Diarchy Internal Security Force (DISF) and oversight from the Diarchs.
Violations may result in:
- Suspension or revocation of Force-user registration
- Detainment or expulsion from Diarchy space
- Loss of citizenship (see Article VI)
- In severe cases, execution by order of the Diarchs

9. Article VI – Revocation of Citizenship

Citizenship within the Diarchy is a birthright, but may be revoked under the following conditions:
- Proven collaboration with hostile entities
- Acts of terrorism or treason
- Abuse of the Force leading to civilian harm
Revocation may occur voluntarily or by state order, after which the individual is no longer under Diarchy protection.

10. Article VII – Closing Declarations

The Diarchy stands as a realm of balance, unity, and strength through diversity. Force users are citizens before they are sorcerers, and while the Force may grant power, it does not place anyone above the law.

"Do as you will — but not to our people."
— Diarch Rellik, on the passing of the Charter

HISTORICAL INFORMATION

The Force Regulation Charter was drafted in the aftermath of several diplomatic misunderstandings involving foreign Force users operating in Diarchy space. After consultation between Diarch Rellik and High Commander Laphisto of the Lilaste Order, the Charter was created to prevent future confusion over the rights and limits of Force-sensitive individuals.

Rooted in the Diarchy's philosophy of balance through freedom and accountability, the Charter aims to protect both the individual and the state from abuse of the Force — allowing diverse Force traditions to exist while maintaining order and ethical restraint.
