Alliances

Allying your empire to another is a major commitment. Most specifics are up to the players, but a few are set:

• You agree to commit 25% of the BPV⁸ required (up to 300 points) of any action against another empire in response to an attack against your ally. This is split evenly among multiple allies of the attacked empire.
• You agree to break off Trade Agreements with other empires if/when they are at war with your ally.
• Your ally's military forces may freely pass through your space with escort, and their police forces may pursue pirates and criminals across their borders into your space.
• Your ally's military forces may use your bases for resupply purposes. Reimbursement policies for the Supplies used should be specified in the treaty, but may be altered from situation to situation at the agreement of both parties.
