Abstract
We give fundamental moves for the neighborhood equivalence classes of spatial trivalent graphs. We define a coloring invariant and a cocycle invariant for the neighborhood equivalence classes and then for all spatial graphs. We show that the cocycle invariant detects the chirality of a knotted handlebody.
