[ Union Laws ]

This law was voted into effect in 87.

1. 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)
2. Whether a group of entities is alive will be determined as follows:
3. If it has been shown something can manipulate the force, it must be alive.
4. If it has been shown that something has no connection to the force, it can not be alive.
5. 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
6. Because of our advancing understanding of the universe, the definition of life will be revisited after a period of five years.
