The Blood Pact

The Blood Pact is a defensive alliance formed between the Republics of Rootiga and Verdan in 2265 in response to xeno-attack of unknown origin, now known to be the Akastians. The alliances doctrine states that any single member attacked will be defended by all other member states.

History
The Blood Pact is responsible for the series of wars known as the Cleansing Wars. After a genocidal Insectoid attack on Verdanian and Rootigan colonies, the two nations agreed to form a military alliance. Immediately the previous enslavement doctrine was dropped and all xeno-species were mandated to be eradicated.

The Cleansing Wars
The First Cleansing War was initiated in 2372, targeting Akastian insectoid worlds.

The Second Cleansing War was initiated in 2379, targeting all species in the Beniedum Quadrant, the war was intended to "clean" the Beniedum Quadrant of the foul xeno species, however the war found its way into the Arrani Quadrant.

The Third Cleansing War was initiated in 2401, intended to remove any and all remaining xenos from Beniedum. After the enormous success of the Second Cleansing War, the BP decided to push further and further, even attacking the Plobda Union, which resulted in a peace treaty ending the war and the creation of the Trans-Stellar Federated Council.
