From the first to this current war, that is the total number of patriot medals given out to both sides.
There are only 15 alliances with more than 30 members. For the first time ever, we are seeing SBs
downgrade because the owner cannot find someone to take it. We are seeing enemy ships which are
nearly unkillable and weapons which can kill almost anything. We are seeing rule-breakers get away
with more than ever before and griefers more powerful than previously possible. And above all, we are
seeing the universe entering a cycle of hate and revenge with too few exceptions.

Indeed, we are seeing the universe changing in ways we never imagined.

Purpose

This Treaty has been proposed (replaced with signed following signing) in order to return balance to
the universe. We are here because we enjoy this game and value its unique existence. We have a vision
of what we would like to see the universe return to. All sides acknowledge that it will take a gesture of
good faith from the powerful, and a willingness to trade pride for progress from the weak.

Vision

A little piracy is good, it keeps things interesting. Griefing is not, that is how we got here.
With so few active pilots, Piracy should be forgivable under certain conditions and a period of
time.
Death is an accepted part of this game. Pilots need the ability to reskill without being harassed
by pirates and griefers.
Factions are entitled to their section of the Pardus Core.
A day when the number of pilots online goes back up instead of perpetually down.

Terms

The terms are somewhat vague, not to create loopholes but as a gesture of good faith that both sides
will diplomatically work together and resolve problems that arise as per the vision.
