The Edo made first contact with [[Starfleet]] in [[2360s#2364|2364]], when the Edo welcomed a group of officers from USS ''Enterprise'' to the planet for shore leave. Despite the promising beginning, the first contact ended with an incident involving a violation of the Edo law and refusal of an execution. The Edo God met any attempts to take any Edo out of Rubicun III with force and asserted their control over the star cluster in which Rubicun III is located.<ref name="MA Justice">[[ma:Justice (episode)|Justice]], Memory Alpha</ref> | The Edo made first contact with [[Starfleet]] in [[2360s#2364|2364]], when the Edo welcomed a group of officers from USS ''Enterprise'' to the planet for shore leave.

Since the "punishment zones" are randomly chosen and rapidly changing, the system is a powerful incentive to obey all laws. The Edo welcome visitors openly as long as they conform to their system of justice. The Edo system of justice acknowledged only one punishment among them for any crime: execution with a poisoned syringe. Randomly mobile punishment zones kept would-be offenders alert and the Mediators dispensed punishment for any violations in the punishment zones.<ref name="MA Edo /> | They abide by randomly mobile punishment zones to keep would-be offenders alert under penalty of a swift execution.

When changing communities, an Edo may start to consider the new community as their family as well, even when the new community is non-Edo.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/WqaqhJwMGAw/ We're All Broken Within, Brother], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240007.22</ref> | At least in some regions, communal families are the norm.
