History
The Treaty of Saturn was precipitated by the Federation unilaterally claiming the Saturn system via a public statement by Commissioner-General Ivano Tretyakov on the 10th of January, 2027. The treaty was signed on 13th of May, 2028 after negotiations over the timetable of the relocation of the UN civilian mining colonies already present on Saturn's moons.
Treaty of Saturn
- The FEAN reaffirms their claim on Saturn and its moons, out to 200m km.
- The FEAN, in turn, willingly revokes their rights to Jupiter and its moons, out to 200m km.
- The civilian mining colonies in the Saturn system shall be permitted to remain without undue harassment. This has the following strictures:
- No United Nations civilians beyond those required to operate the mining complexes will be permitted to establish residence within the 200m km cordon.
- No United Nations-flagged ship, military or commercial may approach within the 200m km cordon without activating its transponder and announcing its intentions. Any ship not obeying this directive shall be fired into after due warning has been given.
- The United Nations shall lease the territory occupied by the civilian mining colonies on Titan, Mimas, and Iapetus from the Federation of European and Asian Nations for a period of 15 years. The UN shall remit 20% of the taxes collected from these operations to the Federation of European and Asian Nations as payment for said lease.
- The mining colonies must not make any attempt to subvert Federation sovereignty over the Saturnian system.
- The mining colonies must be dismantled or relocated at the end of the term of lease.
- The mining colonies may not be used to station troops or warships. The existing garrison battalions may remain to provide order to the mining colonies. Any hostile act by these battalions toward Federation of European and Asian Nations citizens will be considered an act of war.
- No new UN colonies will be established in the Saturn system after the date of ratification of this agreement.
- Both polities agree that further treaties shall be necessary to ensure the safety of the human population on Earth.
- A separate Martian ruins treaty will be discussed in the near future.
