The '''Cynebury Accord''', formally the '''Treaty Establishing Guidelines to Secure the Continued Peaceful Usage of Outer Space''', is a treaty that establishes international space law. The treaty was first signed as a result of an international summit in [[Cynebury]], [[Tretrid]], on November 14, 1975.
The Cynebury Accord's main points are that it prohibits weaponizing space, limits the use of space for only peaceful purposes, and establishes that space is to be free for exploration and use by all nations, but no nation may claim sovereignty of outer space or any celestial body. The Cynebury Accord does not, however, prohibit the use of military satellites for non-combat roles.

In the [[Auroran Imperial War]], [[Noroist Axdel]] constructed and deployed an orbital bombardment weapon named [[Kevatuul (Satellite)|Kevatuul]] after a [[Kozam]] deity of the night sky. It was intended as a first strike system to attack military bases and fleets in case of a [[Great Morstaybishlia|Morstaybishlian]] invasion of Axdel. However, in 1975, three Emberite intelligence agents were discovered attempting to sabotage the weapon. The agents were mistaken for [[Ethalria|Ethalrians]], which led to an overzealous commanding officer having Kevatuul fire 6 missiles at Ribenstadt and its surrounding installations. The effect of this was devastating, as the warheads detonated in an airburst fashion to maximise their destructive effect. Ribenstadt was devastated, and hundreds of thousands of civilians and soldiers alike were killed.
As a result of this event, a cease-fire was promptly established and talks between the nations in the AIW began, with the Weyrciff Pact being signed later that year. Kevatuul was deorbited, breaking apart over the southern ocean where some debris was recovered
