The Unioner Movement shall begin a process of acclimatization and inclusion within the Imperial Civil Society and its movements, being reorganized as a Trade Union, with the statement that Movement will be allowed to continue if it will be reorganized as a Trade Union, an organisation which is not punishable or forbidden under the Kaiserreich Laws.

For the purpose of Integration of Unioner Movement members within the Imperial Society, a new body shall be created will created, known as Kaiserreich-Unioner Inclusion Board, created with members from the Imperial Police and Military and their counterparts from within the Unioner Movement. This shall function on case basis, as the case will be assessed on a person-centered basis.

The new Board will support and check into the actions and facts which led to those actions of each Unioner and will provide support with their rehabilitation.

The meetings between the individuals and the Board will take place in diverse location aboard the Unioner bases or in secure environments on Imperial Planets or Stations and the support through this phase shall be fully provided by the Board, as each case may vary. The Board shall be aware of its available resources and its funding.

Throughout this process, a path in 4 steps will be developed (see below) and should the Unioner show that they have been responsive to all the steps detailed below and having a two year evidence of their change of perspectives and life options. This will be attained through assessments of effectiveness taken through repeated and continual engagement with the Inclusion Board for the assimilation period.

Social support will be provided for the whole period, as long with vocational training (Higher Education or just Valid Empire Certifications) and job placement accordingly to their set skill, to facilitate a better social reintegration within the Empire Civil Society. In addition, the Unioners families will be given the same rights as the Imperial Citizens have, but with the condition that the adult members will be part of one of the Rehabilitation programs (the child will automatically be treated as Imperial Citizen, if he/she is underage).If any of the member of the family will be willing to serve with the Imperial Volk Militia groups, the family shall be taken into the care of the Inter-Agency Family Care, which will provide military grants to the family members and support the family for the duration of the family member deployment.
