Act of Protection and Cooperation between Interplanetary and Interstellar Species

APCIIS (Act of Protection and Cooperation between Interplanetary and Interstellar Species) is an organisation set up to ensure that events mirroring those of the 'Early Encounter Period' never occur again. This is done by putting newly discovered species through a series of physical, mental, psychological and intuitions tests to make sure that each new species is safe, intelligent and most importantly ready to join the LCoSS (Lower Council of Sentient Species) or UCSIIS (Upper Council of Sentient Interplanetary and Interstellar Species).
