The Earth is an unknowing host to an interstellar test of power and resolve, for nothing less than the control of the uncounted thousands of worlds in this galaxy. The "United Worlds Alliance", of which Korendor is but one of almost 740,000 member planets. The UWA officially came into being about 650 of your years ago. At that time, Korendor, one of the founders of the UWA, and about 150 other planets that had for many years formed a loose trade and cultural union decided that a formal organization was called for, to handle the ever-mounting complexity presented by expanding horizons. These worlds dispatched their highest officials to Korendor, where the First Conclave of Elder Masters took place, dedicated to the goal of uniting the planets into a single body devoted to furthering the common good. After many days of negotiations, suggesting, considering, accepting, rejecting and compromising, the First Conclave issued the "Pact of Alliance", that rests to this day in the Hall of Archives on Arcturia. This document laid the foundations for the United Worlds Alliance as it exists today. In its preamble are the most stirring words in our history and our present day. Allow me to offer them to you here. WE, the divers planets of the vast realms of space, under the omnipotent guidance of the Infinite One, do hereby ordain that from this day forth, the divers worlds shall be united in the bonds of Alliance, Friendship and Benificence. WE do promise by this pact that we shall be: A Light in the Darkness; A Guide for the lost; A Shelter for the homeless; A Friend to the friendless; A Doctor to the ill; A Father to the young; A Companion to the aged; An Aid to the strong; A Guardian for the weak. OUR embrace encompasses all; none shall be refused; who come to us shall not be found wanting in our realm; who seek us out in time of trouble, we shall give help till order be
restored; who join us in time of peace shall be welcomed with the hand of friendship; who choose to be our enemy shall not find us revengeful, yet we shall not be less than strong. DEDICATION is our cornerstone, service our walls, love our roof. Within this edifice of truth let all come to rest, for a house without tenants is but a shell. THEREFORE, by these words do we of this First Conclave pledge the allegiance of our divers worlds to the united good of all. By this pact do we join in inseparable bond, under the firm but gentle hand of the Infinite One, to forevermore be as one within this, the Universal Alliance, until our heart is stilled and our final breath no longer stirs. This we have decreed. So let it be through eternity. With these inspiring words, the "Alliance of Worlds" was formed, 150 planets joined in a dream that has flourished these many centuries. The name has long since been "United Worlds Alliance", but the great visions of our founders are as fresh today as they were in that hallowed place that for almost 650 years has been a shrine that every Alliance citizen tries to visit at least once. Earlier, I stated that the present count of Alliance worlds is about 740,000. Although that is the full number, the UWA is now split into five major "Divisions", of which Korendor's has 143,000. This segmenting was made necessary by the sheer enormity of the task of attempting to govern so many worlds under one "roof". The process of partitioning took place over four years, and was ended on your date of September 19, 1986. The system of government that I will now outline came about at the Co
