At first glance, one might not think that one alliance based on a tyrannical galactic empire would not get along with another alliance based on a group of people who fought for their freedom against a not-so-very-different empire. Well, first glances can be deceiving. The Imperial Assault Alliance approached we Browncoats about a treaty, and they're all shiny folks, so we couldn't very well say no. And we've only grown to be better friends by working together just last night to put down some uppity furries that used to call themselves the Bad Wolf Alliance. So, here's some words we put together to show just how much we like each other:
Quote
The Korriban Pact
Protocols for Espionage and Armed Conflict Eradication
between
Imperial Assault Alliance and Browncoats
Protocols for Espionage and Armed Conflict Eradication
between
Imperial Assault Alliance and Browncoats
Preamble
Imperial Assault Alliance and Browncoats:
- Aiming at the achievement of a just, lasting and comprehensive peace;
Aspiring to develop friendly relations and co-operation between them;
Seeking a pathway that will lead to full and frank communication between them;
Desiring to ensure lasting security for both Alliances and in particular to avoid espionage and the threat or use of force between them;
Deciding to establish peace between them in accordance with these Protocols for Espionage and Armed Conflict Eradication;
Article I – ESTABLISHMENT OF PEACE
Peace is hereby established between Imperial Assault Alliance and Browncoats (the "signatory alliances") effective from the exchange of the instruments of ratification of these protocols.
Article II – SOVEREIGNITY
Both of the signatory alliances and their respective member nations recognize and will respect each other's sovereignty and political independence. They recognize and will respect each other's right to live in peace within their respective alliances. They will develop good neighborly relations of co-operation between them to ensure lasting security. They will refrain from espionage and the threat or use of force against each other and will settle all disputes between them by peaceful means.
Article III – COMMUNICATION
In signing these protocols, both signatory alliances recognize that full and frank communication is the foundation for a strong and enduring relationship and that there is mutual benefit for both alliances when open communication between them is maintained. To that end, both signatory alliances agree to productive two-way inter-alliance communication:
- a.) The signatory alliances agree that whenever a situation arises which involves provisions within these protocols or other issues of mutual concern; there shall be full and frank communication between the signatory alliances.
b.) The signatory alliances shall encourage and promote effective methods of dispute resolution between the signatory alliances and their respective member nations.
c.) The signatory alliances commit to frequent and recurring dialog on each others forums and IRC channels. This commitment is based on the view that open access to each others communication channels is essential to the rapid and efficient inter-alliance communication. This shall include communication at the alliance leadership level where on an as needed basis, representatives of the highest decision making bodies of the signatory alliances will jointly meet to discuss issues of mutual concern. This shall be in addition to routine diplomatic communications and the regular communication between normal member nations.
d.) Government members of both signatory alliances will receive operator status in each other's public IRC channels. (NOTE: This is an optional paragraph)
Neither signatory alliance shall knowingly endorse, fund, approve or engage in espionage or other covert action against the other signatory alliance. Both signatory alliances agree not to actively or passively recruit member nations of the other alliance for the purpose of committing espionage. If either signatory alliance collects intelligence regarding a security breach or a credible threat concerning the other signatory alliance, the acquiring signatory alliance will convey all pertinent information in their possession to the other signatory alliance.
- a.) Should a member nation of a signatory alliance violate this article, said member nation will be declared a rogue and will no longer be offered the protection of either signatory alliance.
b.) If a signatory Alliance violates this article, such activity shall be considered an act of war.
Potential Future Bi-Lateral Military Support: Both signatory alliances agree that based on the success of these protocols that if time and circumstances warrant, at an unspecified future date they may explore some form of Bi-Lateral Military Support.
Voluntary Bi-Lateral Military Support: Neither signatory alliance is required to grant requests for military assistance to the other. However, barring other conflicting treaty obligations, should such a request be made through official channels by one alliance, the other alliance is highly encouraged to discuss and reach a consensus decision in their highest decision making body on whether or not to grant military assistance and if granted, in what form that military assistance shall be made.
Article VII – RECOVERY AID
In the event of conflict involving only one of the signatory alliances, upon cessation of hostilities and barring other conflicting treaty obligations, the non-combatant signatory alliance shall encourage its individual member nations to voluntarily provide recovery aid to individual member nations of the war-torn signatory alliance.
In the event of conflict involving both of the signatory alliances, upon cessation of hostilities and barring other conflicting treaty obligations, both signatory alliances shall encourage its individual member nations to voluntarily provide recovery aid to individual member nations of the war-torn signatory alliances regardless of alliance membership.
Article VIII – CIVILITY
Both signatory alliances shall be resolute in their insistence that their respective members remain polite and civil to each other at all times, especially in public forums and other public venues.
Article IX – RATIFICATION
These protocols shall be ratified by both signatory alliances in conformity with their respective procedures.
Article X – TERMINATION
Either signatory alliance may terminate this compact at any time by providing the other signatory alliance with a 48 hour notice of intent to terminate. This compact is automatically terminated when either signatory alliance violates Article IV,V or VI of this compact.
In Conclusion: The IAA and Browncoats have shown great respect for each other in the past and have decided to take our friendship one step further. With this treaty may we grow as alliances and thrive in togetherness.
Hail Imperium!
