Starfinder Roleplaying Game sourcebook, see Pact Worlds (sourcebook).

The Pact Worlds is a collection of independent governments and associations within the Pact
Worlds system, bound together for mutual protection and trade. It was formed in 41 AG by the
Absalom Pact in response to the Veskarium's aggression toward the Golarion System, and has
continued for more than 250 years to provide mutual protection from hostile forces, and facilitate
interplanetary trade and law enforcement.[1][2]

History

See also: Absalom Pact

The Pact was created in 41 AG, five years a�ter the Battle of Aledra, a vesk ambush of the Triaxian
city of Aledra. Concerned that the disparate worlds of the Golarion System could not defend itself
against the Veskarium, o�ficials from Absalom Station, Castrovel, and Verces proposed a system-
wide alliance based on Verces's multilateral Ring of Nations government. Eox quickly agreed to
the plan, and the remaining worlds soon fell in line.[2]

The Pact Worlds.

All planets in the Pact Worlds system are members, though not all are considered full members
with voting representatives. With few exceptions, such as independent Arkanen, moons are
considered part of their parent planet. Planets and bodies with limited civilization, such as
Aucturn and Liavara, are considered protectorates with non-voting representatives and limited
autonomy.

Likewise, some non-planets have gained full member status, such as Absalom Station, one of the
Pact's founding members, and the kasathan worldship Idari.

Corporations and religious organizations are not full members, but many actively lobby and
advocate their causes to voting members.[3] The Aspis Consortium is a unique exception to this
restriction; the Pact Worlds government granted the Aspis Consortium status approaching that of
a Pact World in thanks to the organizations for actions when the Swarm first attacked the Pact
Worlds.[4] Though not allowed to vote, the Consortium is recognized as a self-governing entity, its
holdings on various worlds seen as embassies and its agents largely granted diplomatic immunity
within other worlds' jurisdictions.[4]

The following list details the current membership or protectorate status of entities in the Pact
World organization. Unless otherwise noted, a planet's moons are considered an extension of the
planet.

Sun - Protectorate, held in common by Pact World members[5]

Sun's Burning Archipelago region - Protectorate, independent and self-governing[5]
Aballon - Member[6]

Structure
Each world in the Pact retains its own independent government, making the Pact Worlds a
confederation rather than a fully unified system government.[3]

Pact Council

The Pact Council, based in the Plenara on Absalom Station, is a representative council of delegates
allocated proportionally by each member's sentient population. The council directly votes on
most issues. The Directorate, a body of five elected delegates with 2-year terms and the Director-
General of the Stewards as an indefinite-termed sixth member, decides issues that the council is
unable to rule upon due to legislative deadlock.[3]

Powers and enforcement

The Pact grants some rights universally to sentient beings, and additional rights to citizens of the
Pact Worlds, but other matters of law are le�t to its members to manage. The Pact's members
ultimately retain their sovereignty.[3]

Trade

Pact Worlds - StarfinderWiki https://starfinderwiki.com/sf/Pact_Worlds

The Pact regulates trade between worlds.[3]

Defense

The Pact mandates mutual defense of the Pact Worlds against extrasolar threats.[3]

Law enforcement

Interplanetary Pact Worlds policies are enforced by the Stewards, who also serve as diplomats
between the member governments. Local laws are enforced by governments on member
planets.[2]

Extrasolar protectorates

The government claims no authority over worlds outside of the Pact Worlds system unless they
request it and are granted protectorate status by the members.[3]
