Re : Independant Miners Guild : Revised Agreement


The following defines the relationship between the IMG and Bretonian Lawfuls in Dublin, as per a recent agreement made quickly after the recent crisis:

-IMG shall not permit its members or third parties to molest BMM activities in Dublin, IN ANY WAY.

-BAF shall not permit third parties to assault IMG miners in Dublin.

We agree, for purely tactical purposes, to the zones of control shown herein:




-IMG and allied alwfuls shall use all best measures to protect all BMM, IMG, and other miners who operate in their zone of control; the NFZ near the Hood as indicated on the map

-BAF and allied lawfuls shall use all best measures to protect all BMM, IMG, and other miners who operate in their zone of control, as shown on the map.

-Neither IMG nor BAF is expected to protect miners in the Molly territories. Attempts may be made, but are unlikely to succeed.

-Cooperation against common threats, on an as-needed and as-requested basis. Namely, Corsairs, Kusari raiders, and Independant pirates. The Crown wishes to contain the Mollys' activities and will propose to them an arrangement which is consistent with this agreement. Molly's currently are not (typically) deemed an exisitential threat, and in some cases, assist in repulsing common threats.

-BAF may act freely within IMG zone of control.

-BAF zone of control is freely accessible to IMG miners and miner escorts, though not capital ships.

-IMG may station a capital ship near the Hood for support. Unless requested by BAF, it shall not leave 30 k distance from the Hood.

It is understood that occasionally rogue elements of the IMG or BAF will act contrary to these intentions due to the chaos of war. If so, they may need to be dealt with harshly, by anyone, wihout prejudicing or endangering this agreement.
