The first Treaty Between the Yamatai Star Empire and the Lorath was submitted to the Senate of Yamatai by Taisa Rufus Sydney in YE 28 but High Priest Velor Tomoe Tur’lista declined due to disagreement with the wording of paragraph 1 involving Yamatai's laws, specifically giving the Helashio rights as free citizens. In efforts to not go to war, High Priest Velor Tomoe Tur’lista decided to step away from diplomatic talks and let his sister, Xiaah Harr'Ikke "Destiny" Tur'Lista , negotiate instead.

Whereas the Yamatai Star Empire wishes to recognize and create a state of peaceful and mutually prosperous relations with the Lorath, we mutually agree to enact and to follow the terms of this treaty:

1. The Lor System will now be recognized as a self-ruling state as part of the Yamatai Star Empire. This does not require any change in government or leadership. All citizens of Lor will be recognized as citizens of the Yamatai Star Empire with the rights and freedoms thereof. The Lorath government agrees to adhere to the laws of the Yamatai Star Empire and the orders of Yamatai's emperor.
2. The Yamatai Star Empire and the Lorath agree to maintain friendly, reasonably honest, peaceful relations and communications with one another. The Lorath agree to make at least one diplomatic communication with Yamatai per month.
3. The Yamatai Star Empire and the Lorath agree not to commit malicious acts against one another or employ others to commit malicious acts against one another.
4. Both the Yamatai Star Empire and Lorath will recognize all ranks and titles bestowed on a person by the Yamatai Star Empire, its member states, and/or the Lorath.

This treaty is valid immediately upon approval by all governments involved (or the leaders thereof) and lasts forever unless all parties agree to nullify it. Only the Yamatai Star Empire can approve modifications to this treaty.
