To all Concerned Parties,

My name is Esme Blake, Chief of Operations for Bristol Constructions and Manufacturing. In recent years, we have encountered the same difficulties and trials in our competition with the House corporations as many of you have before. The names may be different, Deep Space Engineering and Samura Heavy Industries, but their tactics are not. For a time, the Bristol Board considered it possible that our competition, limited as may be to only a singular sector of business, would be overlooked by these House corporates. This now appears to be a lie.

As a direct result, we are now faced with the same struggles as you once held. As a direct result, we are now faced with that same question.

The Bristol Board has looked into the long history of close cooperation by your organizations, and the benefits it now bears for each of your operations, despite its less codified nature. After an internal vote, it has been decided that we would take great pride and be honored to lay claim to that same cooperation.

The following is a proposed accord, in the direct interest of officializing any cooperation between our companies.

Proposal

NON-ALIGNED INDEPENDENT ASSOCIATION
NAIA ACCORDS OF 835

Article 1

All signed parties shall undertake, to maintain the peace, resolution of any disputes between themselves and other parties by peaceful means such that the security of the signed parties is not endangered, and shall refrain from the threat or use of force in any manner which stands against the principles of this agreement.

Article 2

All signed parties shall further development of relations between the signed parties through strengthening of any and all institutions which, by commerce, security, or aligned goals interact commonly. The signed parties shall undertake removal of conflict between these institutions through the promotion of economic stability and the collaboration of economic policies between any or all of the signed parties.

Article 3

All signed parties shall maintain the individual and collective capacity to resist armed attack, in order to maintain the capacity of this agreement to foster stability and peaceable relations both between signed parties and other parties.

Article 4

All signed parties shall collectively consult when one signed party is threatened by any corporate party, signed or otherwise, in its territorial integrity, security, or commercial capacity.

Article 5

All signed parties shall undertake all measures to stand united against corporate action against them, whether that be threatening the territorial integrity, security, or commercial capacity of the signed parties, and shall come to that member’s defense in the interests of self-defense and the continued existence of this agreement.

Article 6

All signed parties hereby institute a Council, wherein each party shall maintain representation, to consider and affect implementation of this treaty. This Council shall maintain the ability to convene promptly. The Council shall organize and implement any and all subsidiary organizations deemed necessary to carry out the Articles of this agreement.

Article 7

All signed parties may convene to allow membership of additional parties through a unanimous vote.

In the interests of Article 2, Bristol would propose the following:

1. Preferential supply of Platinum not to exceed 25% of monthly production
2. Preferential supply of Deuterium not to exceed 50% of monthly production
3. Bulwark-class Heavy Explorer hull discount
4. Coordination of any future salvage expeditions with ALG

We believe that it would benefit all our companies, from the employees to the top, that we work together in this and more.

I look forward to hearing back from you soon.
