THE INTERNATIONAL FLEET INITIATIVE

We ask our neighbors and nations of earth to join in and contribute to the founding of an International Fleet

I The primary purpose of which will be to defend the peaceful efforts of humanity in space. Including but not limited to scientific research, exploration, industrialization, colonization and the infrastructure and facility construction work required to these ends.

II The secondary purpose of the International Fleet will be the long range manned exploration of our system and scouting for future colony sites plus any scientific research and development required to that end.

In case a hostile force or regime attacks an International Fleet member state, threatining the space assets and capacity to contribute to the International Fleet - the International Fleet Defense Initiative will be implemented and the nation interest will be defended using all resources available to the International Fleet at any means neccesary.

The requirements for entrance under the protection of the International Fleet is a simple & small variable tax rate on your nations gnp that will be dedicated to the development of fleet resources. In adition to this minimal requirement your nation may contribute what physical and intellectual resources it wants to that is aproved by International Fleet Command - which will be a council of representatives of the IF Protectorate - member states.

The second minima for entrance into IF membership is the aquisition of all space assets not dedicated to space exploration and related scientific research - including but not limited to; spaceborne WMD, orbital weapons platforms, combat spaceplanes, orbital combat support stations and/or vehicles.

Securing space from war is the single most important mission in space that most succeed and requires the support of all Space fairing nations. Join us and enter the future.

The Alliance of the Xeraphian Federation and the Federated Suns wish to join this worthy alliance of Space Nations.

The XF and FS have settled and colonized the region of space known as the Typhon Expanse, comprising 66 Solar systems and as yet un-numbered star systems. While we are not the largest alliance, we have 4 OSS (Orbital Space Stations) and numerous ships, exploratory, scientific, as well as military.

We also have several terran-based mobile docks, capable of both terran and space functions.

If you have further questions, please let us know.

Message from the Kingdom of Rawrnation, Earth:

The Kingdom of Rawrnation shall donate the use of our three current Orbital Mass-driver Cannons to the Fleet Initiative.

Further more, since our nation is just beginning to build up it's own space forces, we hear-by plan to donate one of two orbital shipyards currently under construction, one of three planet-based shipyards, 10% of all Warships built, and 20% of all Supply Ships built.

Until then, please accept the Mass-drivers as the beginning to a lasting membership.

And besides this - your armed space program is in direct conflict with the International Fleets charter. Although you are new to the forums you are not as new to NS. So we will except you on the IF Council if you except all the terms of the Initiative in its entirety - and only if. Including but not limited to:
I The disclosure of all space based combat, weapons and defense technology solely to the IF - and the agreement of classifying this hardware and making it unaccesable to other nations.
II Handing over all combat ships or the submition of plans to convert warships into science ships with exploration and colonization and space industry missions in mind

In turn you will be allowed on the council and will fall under the protection of the mighty International Fleet

OOC: Just one thing though about this 2020 space fleet thingy-Most people will just ignore the date and try to join anyway... after all, this is NS. I have RP'ed with modern tech and Past tech before, and we just assumed that the year was our OWN Calender, to allow everyone to actually RP. after all, not a whole lot of nations will actually RP in the year 2020-Most are in 2050 or even 3000.

I suggest that you ignore the sands of time and just allow any space fleet to join(As long as they are good). It makes things a whole lot simpler.

IC: The Imperial Navy will perform further study into this organisation.

I dont like simple - 2020-2030 was decided upon by the founding Council of 5 Nubrium, Luna I and the nations of the Democratic Union of Asia. It stands - limited the tech curve and making things interesting and slightly realistic, just a little :D

We are very interested in joining. We will give you the funds you need to get some ships to protect us from Falcania
What we need:
10000 Cruiser 60 laser turrents
10000 Battleship 100 laser turrents
10000 Destroyer 170 laser turrents
100000 Frigate Unarmed

We dont have that many ships in the orbital guard and they donot employ Lasers as weapondry - we believe more in the Quality over quantity thing.

I you decide to agree to the minimal terms of disarming your space programs you we WILL investigate the feasability of defending your nation from the threat posed by nieghboring Falcania. If you do join the International Fleet as a Councilor we would channel the resources of the entire fleet in the defense of your nation if thats what it takes.

Sincerly - Luna I could probably better detail the number of ships in our orbital guard and thier capabilities.

Perhaps not many apreciate the importance and maintaining peace and the spirit of exploration in space - I agree with this union in that it names this mission as the single most important challenge of our time. Join us and strengthen the cause of Humanity in Space - the cause of Peace. Join the International Fleet!
