The Republic Formation Treaty was signed between the 7th and 15th of March [[3081]] against a backdrop of week-long festivities. The negotiations that led to the Treaty had begun on Terra in December [[3080]] with what became known as the [[Geneva Conferences]], a series of meetings and discussions between the various powers that had contributed to the allied coalition against the [[Word of Blake]] during the [[Jihad]]. Although the Geneva Conventions were attended by representatives and leaders from the various [[Inner Sphere]] powers, [[Periphery]] nations and [[Clans]], the Conventions were notably boycotted by both the [[Capellan Confederation]] and the [[Magistracy of Canopus]]. The Capellan Confederation would also be the only [[Great House]] to specifically not sign the Treaty when it came into being in 3081.<ref name="J:FRp61"/>

The result of the Geneva Conventions was an agreement from each of the powers to cede worlds from the former [[Word of Blake Protectorate]] to a new buffer state between the various powers, to be named the Republic of the Sphere. Negotiations held in January 3081 saw a number of additional worlds beyond the boundaries of the former Blakist Protectorate also being ceded to the nascent Republic of the Sphere, beginning with an announcement on the 12th of January 3081 by [[First Prince|Princess-Regent]] [[Yvonne Steiner-Davion]] of the [[Federated Suns]] that several additional worlds from her realm would be ceded to the Republic to create an additional buffer zone. Three of the other four [[Successor States]], the [[Draconis Combine]], [[Free Worlds League]] and the [[Lyran Alliance]] later agreed to also cede additional worlds, although again the Capellan Confederation was the exception. These agreements were subsequently codified in the Republic Formation Treaty.<ref name="J:FRp61"/>

The role of [[ComStar]] in the wake of the Jihad was also formalized as part of the Republic Formation Treaty, the secularized Order forbidden from operating its own armed forces or intelligence agency in return for control of [[HPG]] administration in the Republic and other commercial ties. The [[Com Guards]] and [[ROM]] were disbanded, with many of their survivors joining the [[Republic Armed Forces]] and its [[Department of Military Intelligence]]. <ref name=FM3085-176>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 176  "Republic of the Sphere - The RAF - Administrative Divisions - Department of Military Intelligence"</ref>
