Pimbrellan League Charter:

Affirming the basic sentient rights of all individuals throughout the galaxy. Recognizing no one is more important to the cultural heritage, smooth operation, wealth and success of our governed worlds than the people who comprise their population. Accepting that the movement of goods is required for a healthy economy. Realizing that ongoing prosperity is a product of hard work and a common vision.

Calls upon the Pimbrellan League -- the foundations of which lie in the aspirations of the late Kathol Republic, the extolment of commerce, technology, and industry of M-Incorporated, and The New Order's philosophy of freedom -- to be a union of Sentients to further the growth and development of the many planets which have invited the League into working relationships.

The Charter of the Pimbrellan League is sworn into law this day, 24 Kelona, Year 12, by each of the signees as a representative of their constituents to lay the foundation for such freedom, for such hope, to become a safe haven and to ensure the protection and welfare of it's members.
