AND FOR THESE ENDS
HAVE RESOLVED TO COMBINE OUR EFFORTS TO ACCOMPLISH THESE AIMS Accordingly, our respective Governments, through representatives assembled in the planet of Iris, who have exhibited their full powers found to be in good and due form, have agreed to the present Charter of the Alliance of Unified Planets and do hereby establish an interplanetary organization to be known as the Unified Planets. Preamble of the Alliance of Unified Planets Charter, Universal Calendar 325. [PTabbedContent=The Alliance of Unified Planets][PTab=Who We Are] SUMMARY The Alliance of Unified Planets is an intergovernmental organization tasked to promote intergalactic co-operation and to maintain a semblance of order among its member states. Tracing its roots to the United Front established during the Earthland Crisis, the Alliance's mission and work are guided by the purposes and principles contained in its founding Charter. Due to the powers invested in its Charter and its unique nation-spanning character, the Alliance of Unified Planets can take action on issues confronting states in the 1st Universal Century, such as peace and security, climate change, sustainable development, disarmament, terrorism, humanitarian and health emergencies, governance, and more. The Alliance of Unified Planets also provides a forum for its members to express their views in the General Assembly, the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, and other bodies and committees. By enabling dialogue between its members, and by hosting negotiations, the Organization has become a mechanism for governments to find areas of agreement and solve problems together. What We Do MAINTAIN INTERPLANETARY PEACE AND SECURITY The Alliance of Unified Planets came into being amid the devastation of the Earthland Crisis and The Great War, with one central mission: the maintenance of international peace and security. The Alliance does this by working to prevent conflict; helping parties in conflict make peace; peacekeeping; and creating the conditions to allow peace to hold and flourish. These activities often overlap and should reinforce one another, to be effective. The Unified Planets Security Council and its enforcement arm, the Interplanetary Security Commission, has the primary responsibility for international peace and security. The General Assembly and the Secretary-General play major, important, and complementary roles, along with other Unified Planets offices and bodies. PROTECT NATURAL AND LEGAL RIGHTS The term "natural and legal rights" was mentioned a grand total of seven times in our founding Charter, making the promotion and protection of these rights a key purpose and guiding principle of the Organization. In the year 325, the Universal Declaration of Natural Rights brought this into the realm of interplanetary law. Since then, the Organization has diligently protected these rights through legal instruments and on-the-ground activities. DELIVER HUMANITARIAN AID One of the purposes of the Alliance of Unified Planets, as stated in its Charter, is "to achieve co-operation in solving interplanetary problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character." The Alliance first did this in the aftermath of the Earthland Crisis on the clusters of the core systems, where nations banded together to rebuild. The Organization is now relied upon by the interplanetary community to coordinate humanitarian relief operations due to natural and man-made disasters in areas beyond the relief capacity of national authorities alone. UPHOLD INTERPLANETARY LAW The Unified Planets Charter, in its Preamble, set an objective: "To establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of interplanetary law can be maintained". Ever since, the development of, and respect for this law has been a key part of the work of the Organization. This work is carried out in many ways - by courts, tribunals, multilateral treaties - and by the Security Council, which can approve peacekeeping missions, impose sanctions, or authorize the use of force when there is a threat to international peace and security, if it deems this necessary. These powers are given to it by the Charter, which is considered an interplanetary treaty. As such, it is an instrument of international law, and Unified Planets Member States are bound by it. The Charter codifies the major principles of interplanetary relations, from sovereign equality of States to the prohibition of the use of force in interplanetary relations. [/PTab={background-color:#000}][PTab=General Assembly] The General Assembly is the main deliberative, policymaking and representative organ of the Alliance of Unified Planets. All Member States of the Alliance of Unified Planets are represented in the General Assembly, making it the only body with universal representation. Each year, in September, the full Alliance membership meets in the General Assembly Hall in Iris for the annual General Assembly session, and general debate, which many heads of state attend and address. Decisions on important questions, such as those on peace and security, admission of new members and budgetary matters, require a two-thirds majority of the General Assembly. Decisions on other questions are by simple majority. The General Assembly, each year, elects a GA President to serve a one-year term of office. It is typically customary that none of the Permanent Security Council members can ever have their own representatives elected as president. Current GA President: Oryx Kelley (Encan-Sinian Commonwealth) There is also a subsidiary organ called The Secretariat, which comprises the Secretary-General and tens of thousands of Unified Planets staff members who carry out the day-to-day work of the Alliance as mandated by the General Assembly and the Organization's other principal organs. The Secretary-General is chief administrative officer of the Organization, appointed by the General Assembly on the recommendation of the Security Council for a five-year, renewable term. Unified Planets staff members are recruited internationally and locally, and work in duty stations and on peacekeeping missions all around the galaxy. But serving the cause of peace in a violent expanse is a dangerous occupation. Since the founding of the Unified Planets, hundreds of brave men and women have given their lives in its service. Current Secretary General: Won–João Paulos (Republic of Chorus)
[/PTab={background-color:#000}][PTab=Security Council] The Unified Planets Security Council has primary responsibility, under the Charter, for the maintenance of international peace and security. It has 9 Members (4 permanent and 5 non-permanent members). Each Member has one vote. Under the Charter, all Member States are obligated to comply with Council decisions. The Security Council takes the lead in determining the existence of a threat to the peace or act of aggression. It calls upon the parties to a dispute to settle it by peaceful means and recommends methods of adjustment or terms of settlement. In some cases, the Security Council can resort to imposing sanctions or even authorize the use of force to maintain or restore interplanetary peace and security. The Security Council has a Presidency, which rotates, and changes, every year. Security Council President: Ikaros Connors (Encan-Sinian Commonwealth) When a resolution is passed in regards to security or peace, a subsidiary organ of the Security Council, called the Interplanetary Security Commission, is responsible for the direct enforcement of the Security Council's policies. This Commission functions as both a military and a police force in the realm of peacekeeping with members hailing from various planetary military forces, and is led by their own Director-General. ISC Director-General: Raymond Graves (Federation of Fioran States)
[/PTab={background-color:#000}] [PTab=Economic and Social Council] The Economic and Social Council is the principal body for coordination, policy review, policy dialogue and recommendations on economic, social and environmental issues, as well as implementation of internationally agreed development goals. It serves as the central mechanism for activities of the Unified Planets system and its specialized agencies in the economic, social and environmental fields, supervising subsidiary and expert bodies. Its 5 members are elected by the General Assembly for overlapping three-year terms. It is the Alliance's central platform for reflection, debate, and innovative thinking on sustainable development. The head of this council is known as the ECOSOC president, and also rotates every three-years. ECOSOC President: Liberta Song (Greater South Co-Prosperity Sphere)
[/PTab={background-color:#000}] [PTab=Court of Justice] The Interplanetary Court of Justice is the principal judicial organ of the Unified Planets. Its seat is at the Peace Palace in Kaiserstadt (Boscan Großesreich). It is the only one of the six principal organs of the Unified Planets not located in Iris (Federation of Fioran States). The Court’s role is to settle, in accordance with interplanetary law, legal disputes submitted to it by States and to give advisory opinions on legal questions referred to it by authorized Unified Planets organs and specialized agencies.

Brave Galaxy is set in a world loosely based on Hiro Mashima’s Fairy Tail and Eden’s Zero. It is a PG-13 or so rated space fantasy RP, and uses a combination of character statistics, which can be acquired via roleplaying and events, and creative freedom to help direct players’ characters. While there is a main storyline, which can be found in the events section, characters are free to interact with others and their environment however they see fit.
