Welcome!!

Congratulations on your acceptance into the Council for Galactic Affairs. The CGA is proud of it’s heritage of over 700 years of peace and diplomacy throughout the galaxy.

As we look forward to a successful partnership with you in your new position at CGA, we would like to advise you of a few rules and guidelines to increase your possibility for success. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the information presented below:

ACCESS

You will be granted full access to all public areas, and to your atmospheric equivalent wing. Please try to remember other member’s atmospheric requirements. With a little attention detail we can avoid anymore ugly or uncomfortable asphyxiation spectacles.

Remember the color coding of your atmospheric areas. Do NOT take assurances from any council members about the compatibility of your race with other atmospheres. Unfortunately some of our less mature council members take great sport in wagering on how long new council members can last in unfriendly atmospheres before turning colors and passing out.

CO-EXISTENCE

Please beware of hostilities or other incompatibilities between member species. When approaching a driloc please remember to make no provocative movements. Quick or sudden movements can be translated as provocative. Sharp or high pitched sounds have been known to startle younger driloc. Unfortunately as a defensive mechanism, driloc void all seven of their bladders releasing up to 3 gallons of foul-smelling fluids.

Because of the slow movement and undistinguishing features of the Gurivani, a number of them have complained of other members sitting on or hanging their coats on them. Please learn to identify all species from our CGA species handbook.

Try to never create a situation where a Vindari and a Ralodian are within 3.5 meters of each other. The Vindari scent has been known to send the Ralodian into a feeding frenzy. In the event of an unauthorized Ralodian feeding frenzy, please remain calm and try to avoid displaying any flesh. CGA personnel are trained in the handling of these situations.

TABOOs

Because of extreme differences in cultures and the appropriateness of various customs, council members are asked not to perform any of the following customs.

Do not remove your skin in public.

Do not distend your digestive track in public.

Please do not leave any body parts or symbiotic partners in the cafeteria.

Do not drain or refill your Falugia in public

No photoElectrolic bonding in public

Never ingest another sentient being in public

No gaseous emissions (except Belchans – but only for purposes of re-methanization)

Complaints have been growing of ‘nibbling’ between species. Remember, always try to eat before the General Assembly meeting.

Do not accept any food or substance from another council member that hasn’t been approved by the CGA. Unfortunatly, diplomat-poaching has been on the rise. The life you save may be your own.

There is no smoking in any of our public areas, as some species are extremely flammable. In the event Wiknuch or Aluurian spontaneous combustion, please back away and wait for the CGA staff to come put them out. Do not touch, stomp on, eat or put any fluids (bodily or otherwise) on the carcasses, it makes identification more difficult.

There are not atomic or fusion weapons allowed in the public at any times. It is unacceptable to ‘fire a warning’ shot for any reason during General Assembly.

If we stay mindful of these few simple rules, we can ensure that we can work together co-operatively toward our goals. Remember, a friendly galaxy is a happy galaxy.

Your Galactic CouncilMaster,

Zirac Luran
