Line 6: Both the First Lord and the Commanding General disagreed however, with First Lord Nicholas issuing Executive Order 34 in [[2606]] to reaffirm the SLDF's right to recruit men and women from any member state without interference from its government and ensure the SLDF could oversee its own training programs to ensure loyalty to the Star League as a whole. In turn each recruiting office gained all the rights of a diplomatic mission: once someone walked through its doors, that person was governed solely by the laws of the Star League, not the member state. While this would only add to the mystique surrounding the general public's view of the SLDF, many member states were angered at loss of control over their people, with a number of criminals and political dissidents seeking to escape their laws by requesting to join the SLDF. The situation reached crisis point in [[2631]] when the Coordinator of the [[Draconis Combine]] and [[Chancellor]] of the [[Capellan Confederation]] demanded something be done to crack down on criminals escaping justice at their hands. <ref name=SL-106/> <ref name=HRW-166/> <ref name=SL-108>''The Star League'', p. 108 "Star League Defense Forces - Recruiting"</ref> <ref name=FMSLDF-20>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 20 "The Star League Defense Force - Recruiting"</ref> Both the First Lord and the Commanding General disagreed however, with First Lord Nicholas issuing Executive Order 34 in [[2606]] to reaffirm the SLDF's right to recruit men and women from any member state without interference from its government and ensure the SLDF could oversee its own training programs to ensure loyalty to the Star League as a whole.
