The Treaty:

• No interstellar empire may enter the Dolgin Cluster with its military force or with its official government assets.
• Interstellar empires may employ indepedent agents and third parties to act on their behalf to collect Source and colonize specific star systems within the Dolgin Cluster.
• Colonization occurs if a specific star system can be held by third parties or independent agents for a period of five Earth years against all opposition by other third parties or agents. At that time the star system is deemed a part of the associated star empire and government and military forces from that empire may safely be based there.
• No interstellar empire may attempt to take a star system officially held by another empire, the Dolginians, the Markars, or the Keelarks.
