Articles of Union/Legends

"We, the independent nations of Earth, have come together in a time of unity, a time where we realize that together; our world will continue to flourish and be preserved. We are bound by the Articles of Union, bound by honour. Each of us stand here today, not as enemies but as friends, allies, partners, and as Earthlings. We all have put aside our differences to make this day happen, to make our relationships grow stronger for future generations to come, and most of all; we made this day happen, not only for ourselves but for our children and grandchildren. We are the Union of Earth States, and we will preserve our world for hundreds of years as we did. Bound by honour, bound by love, and bound by the Articles of Union."

The Articles of Union was the founding document of the Union of Earth States and while it didn't serve as its constitution, it did, however, held very strong importance to the Union.

Written by the first Union President in 83 BBY, the document was present during the signing of it at new Union Senate building in Williamtown, Nortalia in 81 BBY. Signed by almost every independent nation on Earth, the differences of each of its member states were put aside, ending the era of war between the nations.
