[b]Kepler Alliance[/b]
Two things have occurred in response to the EA's denouncing of the Kepler Alliance, the first is a response message.
"We are not rejecting our history, we refuse to accept the Doctrine as it defies our ideals as the Followers of Faust, and because we did not participate in that bloody war. The only acts of killing we committed were in defense of us, our homes, our families, and our planets. We can not be with you, and we can not accept the doctrine, due to the differences that now reside between us."

The second is a total embargo on the EA for all goods, materials, and services by the Equestrian Empire and the other member states of the Equiis Pact. Tourism and immigration has also been closed to the EA.
