As mandated by the United Confederation of Earth (UCE), the Space Exploration and Colonization Collective (SEAC) is entrusted with the advancement of humanity beyond Earth through ethical exploration, principled colonization, and scientifically responsible research. SEAC’s mission is not defined solely by outcomes, but by adherence to a moral and operational framework that ensures all activities reflect the collective values of dignity, restraint, and shared human stewardship. This framework is codified in the SEAC Code of Conduct, which underpins all decisions and directives.

1. Non-Interference with Emerging Life: SEAC shall not intervene in any planetary environment where verifiable evidence of indigenous life, sentient or pre-sentient, is detected. The risk of ecological or evolutionary disruption shall be treated as prohibitive unless otherwise resolved by consensus of the Interplanetary Bioethics Tribunal.
2. Peaceful First Contact Protocol: SEAC personnel shall pursue peaceful engagement with alien civilizations to the fullest extent consistent with personnel safety and planetary security. Diplomatic efforts are to be exhausted before any invocation of defensive measures.
3. Non-Sovereign Administration of Off-World Settlements: No Earth-based nation, corporation, or entity may lay claim to any extraterrestrial territory or colony. All settlements established beyond Earth’s sphere fall under the neutral administrative authority of SEAC until the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) ratifies a Sovereignty Binding Resolution, affirming the colony’s self-sufficiency and capacity for independent governance.
4. Prohibition of Territorial Possession by SEAC: SEAC is not empowered to retain ownership, dominion, or legal stewardship over any world, colony, or polity. Its administrative role is strictly custodial and transitional, intended to guide colonies toward autonomy. Following the issuance of a Sovereignty Binding Resolution, SEAC’s role is limited to technical advisory and ethical oversight, subject to recall by the UNGA.
5. Equitable Dissemination of Scientific Advancement: All technologies, scientific discoveries, and intellectual outputs produced or procured under SEAC auspices are deemed the collective property of humanity. Such advancements shall be disseminated openly or at minimal cost across Earth and all recognized colony worlds. Revenues collected from limited commercialization shall be reallocated exclusively to SEAC’s operational and research functions, as stipulated by UN funding law.
6. Restricted Diplomatic Authority: SEAC shall not function as a sovereign diplomatic entity. Its personnel may not negotiate, represent, or speak on behalf of the United Confederation of Earth or any affiliated colonial administration, except when explicitly authorized by a Binding UN Resolution and accompanied by an accredited UCE official.

The Sunseekers serve as the elite armed division of SEAC, entrusted with safeguarding Earth’s interests beyond its atmosphere. They are commanded by the Commander of the Sunseekers (CoS)—a position of immense trust, though not necessarily of greatest power.

The CoS holds exclusive legal authority to issue operational commands to the Sunseekers. However, they may not initiate offensive actions or hostile engagements without explicit authorization from the UN Global Security Council (UNGSC). In cases of active threat or emergency, the CoS is empowered to defend SEAC personnel, infrastructure, or colonies under the doctrine of immediate existential defense.

Unlike a traditional military force, the Sunseekers function as Earth’s vanguard unit, a small but formidable team of approximately 10–15 operatives, each considered a planetary-scale asset. Members are drawn from among the most exceptional beings humanity has produced—supreme magicians, psionic paragons, reality-benders, post-human supersoldiers, and retired global superheroes. Their collective presence represents both a deterrent to extraterrestrial threats and a contingency force for crises beyond conventional resolution.

In rare cases, the UN has even subsidized the inclusion of unstable but hyper-capable individuals, relocating them off-world via Sunseeker commission to minimize the threat their presence poses on Earth.

While the CoS is not always the most powerful Sunseeker, they are selected for their unshakable discipline, moral clarity, and capacity to act with restraint in situations where unchecked power could imperil global stability.

The Sunseekers are not an army—they are a shield of last resort. Their activation signals that diplomacy has failed, and that the safety of humanity is at stake.
