Council restrictions on humans (A city upon a hill)

Due to humanity's special abilities and technological superiority over council races, the citadel accords were to be rewritten to allow tehcnological freedom.

The Conventions are amended not to forbid the use of WMD on hostile worlds, sealed space-station environments, or by the Systems alliance, even when Non-Alliance usage will be forbidden.

The Conventions graded Weapons of Mass Destruction into tiers of concern. Tier I is the greatest threat to galactic peace.

TIER I: Large kinetic impacters, such as asteroid drops or de-orbited space stations.

TIER II: Uncontrolled self-replicating weapons, such as nanotechnology, viral or bacteriological organisms, "Von Neumann devices", and destructive computer viruses.

TIER III: Large energy-burst weapons such as nuclear or antimatter warheads.

TIER IV: Alien species deliberately introduced to crowd out native forms necessary for the health of an ecosystem.

The systems alliance, due to their views of dreadnoughts, are unbound by the treaty of farixen.
