The Banu-Human Interstellar Peace Treaty (the Interstellar Peace and Trade Accord) is the first interspecies treaty in Human history. First negotiated by General Neal Socolovich, It was signed between the United Nations of Earth (UNE) and the Banu Protectorate in 2438 and began the social and commercial alliance between Banu and Humans that has been enjoyed by both species for over 500 years. Due to the nature of contracts in Banu culture, once per Banu generation, the treaty must be renegotiated with Banu leadership.
