Alliance / Sirius Gov - The Inter-faction Mutual Benefit Agreement (IMBA)
(This is provided as though in-character for the reason that why not.)
In our conviction that our interests coincide with each other, the undersigned independent commanders under employ of the Alliance of Independent Systems and the Sirius Gov enterprise do hereby form the following pact. We acknowledge that this agreement is made without the prior approval of those who employ us, and we submit this document with the names of the undersigned as a petition to our employers to seek similar agreement as well.
We shall, so far as our ability to do so enables, not seek harm upon agents of the partner faction whether through combat or subterfuge. So far as it is left to us, we will seek peaceful resolution in interaction. We will defend ourselves if we must against agents of the other, but will not seek deliberate conflict.
We shall, so far as our ability to do so enables, aid one another when possible towards goals of mutual profit, in the expansion of business and in actions against mutual enemies. Occupying opposite ends of humanity's colonized space, we do not anticipate competition for resources or for territory.
If such time comes that a dispute between the undersigned should arise, the conflict should be resolved by the involved parties themselves. Until a higher authority within our employing factions enacts and enforces an agreement of similar design, the consequences of a pilot breaking this agreement after signing should remain with the members of their own faction. This agreement does not offer anyone protection should they be one to initiate hostility or conflict by their own will, and those that break from this agreement after accepting it will find that they no longer are protected by this truce.
This agreement is made with the faith that those who sign will comply with its terms, and with the request that those who employ us will seek similar terms for the benefit of both of our territories as a whole, to promote trade and ensure the continued existence of civilization devoted to future prosperity rather than past tradition or present comfort.
-- Signed these pilots of the Pilot's Federation, under employ of Sirius Gov and in support of the Alliance of Independent Systems:
