The Callisto Accord was the founding constitutional document of the Jovian Union, signed in the late 26th century. The agreement established the principles of governance and cooperation between the diverse habitats and colonies orbiting Jupiter's moons, transforming them from independent research outposts and mining operations into a unified interplanetary federation.

Background

The accord emerged from the need to address common challenges facing Jupiter's scattered settlements, including resource management disputes and security concerns.

Key Provisions

The document laid out fundamental principles of autonomy, self-governance, and mutual cooperation that would define the Union's political structure.

Signatories

The original signatory habitats included settlements on the major moons of Jupiter, establishing the framework for the Parliament of Callisto and other governing institutions.

Legacy

The Accord served as the constitutional foundation for what would become one of the Solar System's major political entities, with its capital established in Arcadia (Callisto).
