====== Definition of Life Act ======

[ [[ic:Union Laws]] ]

//This law was voted into effect in (:turn) 87.//

  - Any group of entities can only join the Union if they are deemed alive (in addition to the conditions laid out in the [[Membership Act]])
  - Whether a group of entities is alive will be determined as follows:
  - If it has been shown something can manipulate the force, it must be alive.
  - If it has been shown that something has no connection to the force, it can not be alive.
  - when nothing can be said about the connection to the force about a group, the set of six rules will apply, to be alive, a group then must:
    * Eat
    * Grow
    * respond to stimuli
    * reproduce, which involves at least a biological process
    * adapt to their environment
    * maintain a homeostasis
  - Because of our advancing understanding of the universe, the definition of life will be revisited after a period of five years.
