Purpose of the Cease-Fire Agreement

"The Order exists to protect humanity from nonhuman threats, and has always existed with the same purpose. Our primary task is defending house territories against Nomads, Phantoms, Wilde, and any other threats to the stability of the Sirius Colonies. We have no wish to take hostile action against any other human, but unfortunately circumstances dont always allow our disinvolvement from galactic affairs. The bounty hunters guild wages a war against us we do not wish to fight, and there is a near-constant smuggler and pirate presence within our own space."

"Due to these factors, engaging Liberty forces in petty squabbles that benefit neither side is only detrimental to our resources, our time, and our reputation with the general public of the colonies. By negotiating a Cease-Fire agreement with Liberty, we can focus our tasks on the true issues at hand: Alien Threats, and defending ourselves against the onslaught of the Guild."

"When Liberty finds itself under assault from hostile alien forces, whether it be the Nomads or any others, we will be there to lend our assistance. We stand ever vigil over the interests of humanity, and this offer extends to every house which finds itself in need of aid against such aggression. Whether you be Kusari, Bretonian, Libertonian, or Rheinlander, we will no hesitate to lend our assistance when it is needed. To that end, maintaining the peace between each house and our own organization is in the best interests of all involved."

"I hope this message clears up any inconsistencies or misunderstandings that may have been present in the original treaty proposed by Commodore Chamberlain. Commander Kimura Out."
