The Ivory Charter, a clandestine organization embedded within Empress Teta’s bureaucratic, judicial, and cultural institutions, established this document to subvert the Dark Empire’s legal grasp and provide a lawful basis for the Foundation’s resistance down the line. The charter ensures the separation of military and humanitarian operations, shielding the Foundation from legal and ethical violations. It was entered into official records long before open resistance, securing legal protections.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Ivory Charter, a secretive rebel cell within Empress Teta’s legal and bureaucratic institutions, authored this document in 902 ABY, during the Foundations campaign against the Dark Empire. It was created to ensure that the Foundation’s resistance could not be legally undermined by accusations of illegitimacy, war crimes, or unlawful conduct, covering it on all fronts. The charter went through the processes and was entered into official records through judicial and bureaucratic channels. By the time the Foundation would declare its resistance, its legal standing would already be secured, ensuring lawful and ethical operations, that went along with the necessary progression of the organization.
