Concordat of Topas

A legal agreement between the various powers of the Islands Cluster. The Concordat of Topas, signed in 5542AD, established the concept of planetary sovereignty, essentially stating that each world was self-governing but could voluntarily give its allegiance to another. This permitted those signatories with colonies to retain control of them.

The Concordat fell apart in 5576AD, when a coup on Herzenslust produced a government that immediately offered allegiance to New Colchis.
