Alliances Overview

First there was the founding of the Republic....and the Roman Republic thrived for ages - but, threatened by an increasingly violent and unruly galaxy a few loyal and brave patriots gathered round their emperor and proclaimed the founding of the Great Roman Empire.

-Cæsar - /\scended /\ncient Emperor of Rome

The Roman Empire was an alliance on the EN1 server which existed for approximately 4 years, making it one of the longest lasting alliances on the server, it merged with CORE to form Invictus in July 2013.

History

The alliance was founded by Caesar Augustus - Emperor of The Roman Republic as a neutral alliance for mature gamers who love Star Trek and are committed to building strong colonies, fleets and commerce. Their aim was to exist peacefully with all other space fairing races founded on the prime directive - that no race may be completely destroyed. Planets and colonies may be attacked and looted, but all races have the right to exist.

Just over a month after it was formed, Rome merged into the mighty KLINGON EMPIRE and for a time the House of Caesar prospered, but after internal divisions caused the KLINGON EMPIRE to split up Caeser reformed the Empire which then grew and prospered.

Following an attack by the Cardassian Legion Rome joined its allies in the Commonwealth of Humanist Ideals, The Rangers and the Galactic Corps of Engineers in Operation Overlord a strike against the very heart of the Cardassian Legion successfully destroying a massive Cardassian fleet.

After the Cardassian Legion was defeated there was for a time, peace. Command of the alliance was transferred to Erchni /\ncient - Emperor of Rome. But soon a new threat emerged... the {Brotherhood of NoD}. For a time, the empire watched and waited staying at peace while the Galaxy went to war, but it was decided that the threat the {Brotherhood of NoD} posed could not be allowed to continue, so Rome joined The Coalition.

Together with its new allies in the Commonwealth of Humanist Ideals and Star Gate SG-1, Rome fought against the Brotherhood. The war went well, with numerous successful strikes against the Brotherhood, eventually a peace accord was created and the war ended.

However the peace was not permanent and Rome joined the Coalition against the Brotherhood of NoD and the Allied Alliances twice more, the final war lasting almost 6 months and causing a large amount of Coalition space to be forfeited. After the completion of that war, both CORE and Rome decided it was in their best interest to come together and form a new alliance, INVICTUS.

Articles of Confederation

Section 1: Determination of Authority and Rank. All officers share equal authority, regardless of rank. At this time, all members who are not officers shall hold the rank of Centurion Romae.

Section 2: Inactivity If you are going to be busy, please let the Head or Assistant Head know ahead of time, as it takes a lot of the guesswork out of alliance planning. If you are inactive more than 50 ticks without explanation, you will be removed from the alliance, this will be strictly enforced, also if you let us know of an extended absence and you have not returned in 200 ticks your colonies and ships will be visited and all resources of value will be removed. If you have returned after this has occurred just let b349 Legatarius Legionis Romanae know and your resources will be returned as soon a possible. If you have an emergency situation, please notify an officer upon your return, and your case will be considered.

Section 3: Piracy Raiding is not prohibited, but it is not encouraged either. You may raid as much or little as you like, under the following guidelines.

• NO destruction of civil ships will be permitted.

• NO destruction of critical buildings (ie. farms, domes, power generation) will be permitted.

• Try to keep military losses to a minimum. If a ship doesn't fire on you, don't shoot it. If a planet doesn't fire on you, don't destroy its defenses. BPP structures are considered valid targets.

• Do NOT raid allies. EVER.

Anyone choosing to raid does so with the knowledge that they will not receive any assistance from the Alliance in the event that their actions result in armed conflict, UNLESS the attacking party violates the above rules without provocation.
