RE: Treaty of Curacao

Greetings, Fellow Guild Members.

This coming Sunday, IMG will sign the Treaty of Curacao, along with representatives from the Bretonian and Liberty governments, as well as excutives of Orbital Spa and Cruise. The purpose of the Treaty - initiated by the Bretonian and Liberty governments - is to codify free and open trade between the two houses, and to provide secure transit in the border worlds between. This includes the systems of Cortez and Magellan.

Please find attached the most recent draft of the treaty: Draft - Treaty of Curacao

As you can see from the discussion, I did not hesitate to press our interests in this matter, and all of my concerns were addressed in a forthright manner by BAF Commodore Nelson. Please take careful note of the discussion points, as they reflect IMG priorities in Magellan.

In particular, you will note the following:

1. The 5K no-fire zone around Freeport 4 is to be respected by all parties at all times, except in self-defense, or except for IMG vessels enforcing the policy.

2. No vessels of either house military are allowed to dock on Freeport 4 without authorization from IMG personnel, except in case of extreme emergency, and even then, permission is to be requested if possible. We will charge any violator of this policy 250,000 credits on sight. Such encounters are to be holocammed, and any failure to pay should be reported to me immediately.

3. Our mining rights are protected. Under no circumstance may either house nationalize the natural resources of Magellan or Cortez.

4. The Treaty creates NATO, which is a joint Bretonian-Liberty security organization. However, no house military officer has any authority whatsoever over IMG personnel. The only exception would be if IMG defense pilots participate in emergency military operations with NATO vessels. However, this is not to occur unless Freeport 4 or IMG personnel or allies are in immediate danger. Also, no IMG personnel may be pressed into service by NATO forces.

Any observed violation of the Treaty should be holocammed and reported to Guild leadership immediately. Any questions can be sent to me via PM.

Thank you.

Peter Barrington
Guild Master
