James Spanier Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 A long time ago (a little over a year) in a backroom channel far, far away, discussion began which laid the framework for the creation of the ultimate treaty in the cyberverse. The project was subject to great expenses of political capital and excuses for missed deadlines for months on end, leading some to declare it nothing but a bottomless pit of resources. Emperor Jason was adamant however: when the treaty was signed, the detractors would be of little concern, and when has become now. Project Stardust Accords Article I: Peace and Freedom to the Signatories Both signatories will hereafter refrain from targeted aggressive activity, internal subversion or espionage of any kind, against the other. Signatories of this pact pledge to practice only respect and good will towards each other. Article II: Securing the Scarif Vault Should vital knowledge of a political or military nature come to the attention of one signatory, they are strongly encouraged to share it with the other. Article III: Deploy the Garrison Should the Rebel Alliance scramble fighters on the Death Star, either signatory may request support in the form of Starfleet assistance, credits, or a motion in the Imperial Senate from the other. It is strongly encouraged for the other signatory to provide what help it can, though both parties accept that this is not an obligation. Article IV: You May Fire When Ready Should either signatory wish to target another planet with the Death Star, the signatory may ask to use the other's targeting computer, though both parties acknowledge this is not obligated. Article V: Target the Base at Scarif, Single Reactor Ignition In the event that a signatory is a participant in a conflict against an ally of the other signatory, defensive retaliatory military action may be taken as deemed necessary without necessitating the activation of Article VII. Article VI: Death Star II Should the signatories feel the relationship between them has changed, the signatories may come together to build a newer and more powerful Death Star at any time. Article VII: Careful Not to Choke on Your Aspirations Should either signatory become rebel scum in the eyes of the other, this pact will be canceled after 72 hours notice is given.

Joseph Black Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) Friends, Your prose is on point. The treaty actually disappoints me, in this age of perpetual peace the Optional sections of these treaties is just sad. All treaties are optional. Even the super unbreakable, never turn against each other cause you're the best of buds, it could never happen, fall by the wayside when the sides are less even. Enjoy your treaty. I wish you both the best, Joseph M. Black Edited May 31, 2022 by Joseph Black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish you both the best, Joseph M. Black There's something to be said for being upfront and open about it, though, instead of letting them know with a surprise knife in the back when the moment comes. Not to these alliances specifically, but, you know, broadly speaking. It makes for a better treaty, not a worse one, to be upfront and honest about the realities of the Charlie Foxtrot that is the treaty web.

Hero, I yield to your superior analysis and apologize for my candor. I'll save my moral outrage for the 'Mutual' treaties where it belongs. Humbly, Joseph M.
