Valzovech Pact

The Valzovech Treaty Organization (VTO), officially the Valzovech Treaty of Cooperation and Mutual Assistance, and commonly known as the Valzovech Pact (VP), was a collective defense treaty signed in Havigdal, Valzovech between Valzovech, the Voltov Union, and the Zecho Federation in CY 1872. Many other worlds throughout the Ornath, Minntaral, and Nozus Sectors soon joined. The Valzovech Pact was created in reaction to growing Hisperian hegemony in the Sinntaral Sector and beyond. Hisperian propaganda, however, labeled its creation as having been motivated by Valzovech desires to maintain control over military forces in the Nozus, Ornath, and Minntaral Sectors.

The Valzovech Pact was established as a balance of power or counterweight to Kiros Alliance. For much of the Post-Zaolian Wars era, there was no direct military confrontation between the two powers (with the exception of small skirmishes). In fact, during the Kirmiian War, several members of both the Valzovech Pact and Kiros Alliance fought alongside each other against Kirmiian. However, in CY 1913, after decades of tensions between Valzovech and Hisperia, the Valzovech attacked Hisperia and during the battle, an atmospheric dissolution device was detonated by a Valzovech ship that destroyed the planet's atmosphere, wiping out all life on the planet. This attack pulled the entire Valzovech Pact into conflict with the entire Kiros Alliance in the subsequent Kiros-Valzovech War.
