About the ISC
About the ISC
The ISC is a direct byproduct of the Treaty of Space. The full Treaty of Space can be found on the official United States of Kerbelia website, or you can click the attached link at the bottom of the text box.
Possibly the most important and most controversial amendment in the Treaty of Space is the second amendment, limiting the presence of military personnel. This amendment was a large part of why Syracuse and Cramonia steered away from signing, believing this was a trap.
The ISC was made to enforce and employ the usage and legitimacy of the Treaty of Space, and will be a direct Coalition against any and all who go against the signing of the Treaty.
