The Pioneer Initiative is the name of the agreement brokered on the surface of Reddeluto by the six spacefaring Civilisations after the orbital standoff was resolved.
In a neutral encampment under the watchful eyes of the orbiting warships, the six commanders (or nearest equivalents) of the fleets - approved as representatives of their respective Civilisations - hashed out a deal they could all more or less agree upon.
The pioneer initiative charter outlines the following major points.
The deployment of watch stations in orbit around the planet, with a primary station housing a delegation from each member Civilisation. To act as mediators to any exploration disputes and mutual hostages to keep hostilities from breaking out. Each Civilisation has a single delegate with a support staff of a reasonable size.
The surface of Reddeluto to be divided into
sectors, to be monitored by said watch stations.
All existing data regarding the location and density of useable mineral resources on Reddeluto to be deleted, to provide a more level field for the
prospecting teams.
Only one sector will be opened for prospecting at any time, for a period of two axial rotations, after which claims staked by ground teams will be automatically mined with mobile expert-system excavation and refinement facilities
A designated landing and
camp zone within the opened sector to be serviced by Initiative provisioned shuttles will be the only permitted access point to the surface
Acts of
violence and
larceny within said designated zone will not be tolerated.
