"Over the past week, I have spent time within Kusari speaking with the various factions that call it home, in an attempt to find additional allies to aid The Order in our fight against the Nomads and other alien threats. Unfortunately, it was discovered that few of these resident organizations are concerned with anything that does not immediately benefit themselves, or provide some additional degree of power or wealth. Such seems to be the typical outlook of humankind whenever there is something valuable to be fought over."

"Of the factions I met with, only one seemed eager to form an alliance and agreement with The Order, and that was the Gas Miner's Guild. We have worked, unofficially, with GMG forces in the past in order to clear out Nomad, Wild, and Phantom threats within the Sigma systems, and these past operations have proven valuable in furthering relations between our two groups."

"After returning to Order space, and having conferred with the other members of Order High Command, the following treaty has been written to be presented to the Gas Miner's Guild. Should the terms be accepted, this can be put into effect immediately."

The following terms are presented by The Order to be accepted by the Gas Miner's Guild:

Section One: Trade Agreements

The Gas Miner's Guild will be provided with a safe route, and where applicable Order military escorts, in order to provide shipments of H-fuel to Order space. The Order will prevent any and all allies, including the Corsairs, from assaulting any Gas Miner's Guild transports or combat craft within Order Territory. For the purposes of this agreement, Order Territory includes the Omicron Minor System.

GMG vessels will be provided freedom of movement within the Omicron Minor system only. No GMG ships are permitted within Omicron 100 unless escorted by Order Guard craft.

Section Two: Military Agreements

The Order, per it's part in this treaty, will provide the Gas Miner's Guild with increased military patrols within the Sigma 13, Sigma 17, and Sigma 19 systems with the goal of routing out and destroying any Nomad, Wild, or Phantom vessels.

As per agreements between the leadership of The Order and the GMG, no Order vessel is to fire upon any non-nomad, wild, or phantom ship within these systems, including bounty hunters guild vessels, unless attacked first and returning fire in self defense.

No Order ship is to open fire, whether offensively or in defense of his/her craft, within Two-Thousand Meters of any GMG structure and Five-Thousand Meters of Gas Miners Naha and Ogashawa.

While adhering to the terms set above, all Order vessels will be provided with full freedom of movement within the Sigma 13, Sigma 17, and Sigma 19 systems, unhindered by the Gas Miner's Guild. Should any Order vessel break the terms set above, that vessel's designation and all information pertaining to his/her actions will be reported to The Order High Command so that action may be taken to prevent further infractions.

Section Three: Equipment and Vessel Purchase

At this point in time, it is agreed upon by both The Order and the Gas Miner's Guild that no weapons or ships may be purchased from one organization by the other unless such purchase is agreed upon, on a case-by-case basis, by both the GMG and Order leadership parties.

Any GMG pilots wishing to purchase Order equipment or ships must first submit his/her request to both The Order High Command, as well as the GMG Guild Masters, and must be approved by both of these groups before purchase of the equipment or vessel is carried out.

Any Order pilots wishing to purchase GMG equipment or ships must first submit his/her request to both The GMG Guild masters, as well as The Order High Command, and must be approved by both of these groups before purchase of the equipment or vessel is carried out.
