The Keitumite Mutual Military Treaty represents an agreement that was formalized through signatures from delegates of seven distinct planets, such as Ansion and the Keitumites, in the era preceding the Clone Wars.
This Military Treaty served to unite these worlds through shared commercial interests and a mutual defense pact. Although the treaty was never activated or utilized, it maintained its validity throughout the period after the Invasion of Naboo. In the course of the Separatist Crisis, Shu Mai endeavored to compel Ansion to withdraw from the Galactic Republic, with the anticipation that the other member worlds, connected by their own treaty obligations, would emulate this action, thereby expanding the number of planets and systems aligned with the Separatist faction.
