Newman Doctrine

The Newman Doctrine is one of the most important laws in the Terran Federation. Set forth in 2098 by the first President of the Terran Federation Paul Newman, the law states that the Terran Federation would not get involved in the internal affairs of other species, particularly with pre-FTL races. However, after the Star War, the law was modified so that the Terran Federation would get involved should special situations arise, such as eminate extinction. If so, then an Ark-class Transport would be dispatched for evacuation.
