Standardization Agreement

In the Alliance, a STANdardization AGreement (STANAG) defines processes, procedures, terms, and conditions for common military or technical procedures or equipment between the member worlds. Each Alliance member ratifies a STANAG and implements it within their own (Military). The purpose is to provide common operational and administrative procedures and logistics, so one member nation's (military) may use the stores and support of another member's (military). STANAGs also form the basis for technical interoperability between a wide variety of communication and information systems (CIS) essential for Alliance and Allied operations. The Allied Data Publication (ADatP) Alliance Interoperability Standards and Profiles which is covered by STANAG 5524, maintains a catalogue of relevant information and communication technology standards.

STANAGs are published in English (official Human language), Asarian and XXX, the three official languages of the Alliance, by the Alliance Standardization Office in (ALLIANCE CAPITAL maybe).

Among the hundreds of standardization agreements (current total is just short of 1900) are those for warp drive cells, star charts, communication procedures, and stellar classification.
