Fiction:Franco-Tybusen Accords

The Franco-Tybusen Accords are a set of diplomatic and economic agreements between the French Republic and Tybusen Intergalactic Allied Federation signed in 2795 after the two countries collaborated during the Dominatus War. In them, they pledge friendship to one another in a non-binding alliance, promise to come to the aid of the other in the event of difficulty or attack, and generally commit to align their interests. Furthermore, the two allow free and unrestricted access to each other's trade routes and hyperlanes.

The treaty had a resounding impact on French foreign policy as it gave it access to the TIAF's intergalactic hyperlane network which connects the Federation's many colonial sectors in galaxies across the Gigaquadrant. This spurred on a new age in French colonization, leading to the foundation of French Quadrantia in 2797 and the Bunsen Colonies 2798. Contact with French Andromeda was also reestablished, leading to close relations between the two for the first time in nearly forty years. A new French colonial empire began to appear, linked together by the TIAF's hyperlanes.
