Greetings,

On this most auspicious of days, August 2nd, 2010, I Kosh Naranek, secret agent of the Vorlon Empire, and Head of State Yogi are announcing the existence of Posaris.

Our missions is a simple one—buy infrastructure, sell technology, and grow. We will inevitably deviate from that simple plan, but Posaris is and will be an alliance based on the principles of honor and respect. Our actions will not only reflect what is best for us but also our friends and allies. As such treaties will not be signed lightly, and when they are they will be based upon friendship and not pure nation strength.

Our alliance shall be based on the blue team and we will open our gates of membership to anyone nation in good standing who wishes to join. On a similar note, diplomats are just as encouraged to visit our forums and IRC channel.

As a Vorlon, I have spoken too much already, so here is the information that you care about.

Oh and on another note, we're protected by GDA.

What does the word Posaris mean? It sounds like you're playing off of "Polaris" to sound original.

[color="#0000FF"]I can't believe I missed that line in the charter. This makes me all the more determined to see this alliance fail. Time for me to talk to a few people and make sure that happens.[/color]
