Law on Equality of Non-Human Species

The Law on Equality of Non-Human Species was a policy enacted within the Imperial Republic in Year 23,900, under pressure from progressive humans and the newly created League of Non-Humans requiring the Republic and planetary governments to grant civil rights to non-human species, particularly Star Elves and Asguardian Dwarfs. At first, the law excluded Orks due to their often violent natures and religious zeal, but the law was amended in Year 30,428 to grant civil rights to Ork individuals and groups who promised to renounce violence and promote racial and religious tolerance.
