When the [[Factions~Limëan Republic]] and the [[Factions~Teprogrenaian Consensus]] joined Union, the discussion rose if Union had to allow non-living beeiings, and when a beeing could have been called 'alive'. To settle this issue, the [[Teprogrenaian Consensus]] started the Great intergalactic discussion of life to determine the rules when a group of people are alive.

The discussion was held on [[Dhiahamara]], and was led by [[Characters~Danar Sylvia]]. The participants were:

  * [[Characters~Fecta Legin]] representing the [[Factions~Teprogrenaian Consensus]],
  * [[Characters~Salixa]] representing the [[Factions~Silver Forests of Remunzia]],
  * [[Characters~Dewa Nishkor Sardan]] representing the [[Factions~Veolian Commonwealth]],
  * [[Characters~Mazeron]] of the Divine Fiefdom of Highmons]],
  * [[Characters~Dareal Noxim]]] of the [[Factions~Praetorian Empire]],
  * [[Characters~Nousythes Peoisus]] of the [[Factions~Limëan Republic]].

After the discussion, the final definition of 'life' was presented to the senate, and voted into law. At the final vote, the law proposal was accepted with 14 in favour, 3 against, and 2 abstained. The [[Definition of Life Act]] went into effect immediately, in (:turn) 87.
