New Venus-Earth Naval Support Treaty 3204

In order to optimise their naval dispositions in the interests of the defence of humanity and to promote better co-operation between the two navies, The Republic of New Venus & The Solar Republic & Empire, henceforth "the signatories", agree
to the following:

To support & maintain specific naval forces belonging to the other signatory, as laid out in appendix II

1.1. Said support & maintenance will be of a quality & frequency at least as good as that performed on their own ships.

Each signatory is only obligated to support the naval forces specified in appendix II, up to the specified level of SVs and in the specified quadrant
or sector.

2.1. Should the cost of a specified force increase past the level indicated in appendix II, the supporting polity is only obligated to pay up to the agreed level of SVs. They may choose to pay some or all of the increased cost but that is entirely at their own discretion and may be changed without notice.

2.2. Should the cost of a specified force decrease below the level indicated in appendix II, then the supporting polity may choose to pay only the decreased cost. However, the obligation to pay up to the specified level remains should the cost subsequently increase.

2.3. Should a specified force, or parts thereof, move to a quadrant or sector other than the one(s) specified in appendix II, then the supporting polity is no longer obligated to support said force, or parts. They may choose to support such forces but that is entirely at their own discretion and this may be changed without notice. If said forces move back into the quadrant or sector specified in appendix II then the supporting polities obligation under this treaty will resume 100 days after said return or after they are informed of said return by the owning polity, whichever is the later.


The signatories will conduct a meeting in the first octant of each year 3205-3207 & the last octant of 3207. Such meetings can change any of the
details in the appendices, with the agreement of both signatories, ratified by their respective head of government. Meetings may be held more often if both signatories agree.
