[h3] Agreements, policies and treaties in action[/h3] This is a compendium of active policies, pacts and treaties that apply to IC. Use them against your rivals! [hider=Outer Systems Compact] Or the OSC is an agreement between all colonizers of the outer systems on many things, mainly quality of life standards and regulations for living spaces along with mining agreements to what worlds can be mined and which ones are off limits. Lots of drama is to be expected here- for in practice there has been no shortage of violations or loop holes which have been exploited by those who claim to uphold it. It started off as a simple frame work and the committees are notorious for their infighting. So this isn't some hard OOC rule, just an IC agreement. [/hider] [hider=The Common Heritage of Mankind Clause] Dating back to the time when rockets were first being created, this centuries old clause has seen multiple provisions that had for some time dictated the way companies and organizations may interact with regards to interplanetary colonization. The fundamental tenet of the clause is that you cannot claim territory on worlds outside of earth. This clause however, did see the revision that you may still develop and mine resources on other celestial bodies but only have claim over your company owned assets. In practice this meant that planets were treated as a commons of sort, with multiple companies developing assets to which they had control over. Paraterraforming efforts complicated this provision, for it meant anywhere domed off began to be seen as a company asset. This clause has been viewed as deeply arcane and in recent times has seen some extraterrestrial colonies completely disregard it at times, especially in the wake of the inner system's war [/hider] [h3]Player Roster[/h3] [@Arawak] - [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4484559]The Titan Industrial Complex[/url] TBA: Willy Vereb (??? – mixed signals currently) Skylar (asteroid pirates) BingtheWing (venusian totalitarians) Catchamber (comets) LordZell (asteroid mining company with prison labor) Poohead189 (??? – not stated) Nexerus (Mercury based solar power and mining corporation)
