It is on this great day that I as ACO of Diplomacy hereby upgrade our pact With [SI] Starfleet Imperium from that of a NAP to a MPP. May this continue to build the relationships of the two fleets and their members.
(Most of the pact is in Spoilers to keep it smaller)
Mutual Protection Pact: Starfleet Imperium [SI], Federation Command [FC]
2. Members of [SI] and [FC] are required to respect and be courteous to one
another, in game and out of game. Apparent violations of this clause, between senior
officers, will be dismissed with the consent of all officers involved.
3. Military hostilities of any kind, except in the contexts of:
a) training simulations AND / OR
b) friendly games between [SI] and [FC] and their constituent members
are not permitted whatsoever
4. Friendly joint exercises, meetings, and training sessions involving both [SI] and
[FC] officers are strongly encouraged. Venues through which such interface may
occur include, but are not limited to:
a) fleet-supported communications, including but not limited to online bulletin
boards, voice servers, and text messaging servers
b) fleet-independent communications, including but not limited to online bulletin
boards, voice servers, and text messaging servers
c) personal communications, including but not limited to e-mail and private
instant-messaging programs
5. Collaboration between [SI] and [FC] officers on intellectual ventures such as
strategy reviews and game modification is encouraged, but [SI] and [FC] retain
any and all copyrights on information created by their respective fleet members and may
enforce them at will. Products (i.e.: maps, strategies) of [SI] - [FC]
collaboration are considered collectively copyrighted and may only be released with the
consent of both fleets.
6. Officers of [SI] and [FC] may, if requested to do so, aid one another in the
maintenance and development of internet resources, such as web sites and online
applications. In such cases, the officer requesting assistance takes full responsibility for
any security breach directly or indirectly resulting from his/her request. The provision of
aid under this clause is strictly voluntary.
7. [SI] and [FC] may request aid, military or otherwise, from one another. Aid
must be given in time of need for defensive campaigns only, except under extenuating
circumstances.
8. Violations of this treaty by individual officers of [SI] or [FC] will not be
counted as a violation on their respective fleet's behalf, but only if appropriate
disciplinary action is taken against the offending officer by his or her fleet, and only if
adequate proof of said disciplinary action is provided to the offended fleet.
9. This treaty will be null and void upon:
a) an announcement of nullification by either fleet's Council
b) a blatant and fleet wide violation of the treaty by one or both fleets without
immediate and sufficient remedial action
c) repeated individual violations of this treaty that do not result in appropriate
disciplinary action
d) in order to meet clause c above, the signatory fleets will:
1. share or make readily available rosters of full time and active members
for each of the fleet’s gaming divisions
10. This treaty may be modified or amended at any time, but only through the agreement of
the Departments of Diplomacy and Councils of both fleets.
11. The Constitution(s), Code(s) of Conduct, and any other governing documents of
Starfleet Imperium and Federation Command take complete and unequivocal precedence
over this Mutual Protection and Cooperation Pact. Should this Mutual Protection and
Cooperation Pact conflict with either Fleet’s governing documents, it will be declared
null and void until it is sufficiently modified as to eliminate such conflict.
12. This treaty is, without exception, binding on all members of [SI] and [FC].
13. Signatures:
Starfleet Imperium
Fleet CO: Emperess Tigre
Fleet XO: Regeant Kurai
Diplomacy CO: Fleet Admiral Knight
Federation Command
Diplomacy CO (acting): Division Vice Admiral PirateAE
Chief of Operations: Vice Admiral Resistance
Council of Admirals: Admiral Artful
Council of Admirals: Admiral Exeter
Excellent! Will the [SI] roster be made available to all [FC] members? i.e. if I find myself with a grudge against a player in STO, is there a way to check if they are [FC] or [SI] before I mouth off? :-D
