House Sinister and House Ravenwood both hereby guarantee the sovereignty of the other, and promise to commit all their Fleets to a joint defence. Whichever House is being attacked will suffer the first casualty, afterwards casualties will be decided by coin flip.

In addition, House Ravenwood and House Sinister agree to a limited military operation against the planet Sand of House of Sands. The following forces will be committed,  under House Sinister's command, and returned to their House of Origin at end of turn:
 - Four Fleets of House Sinister
 - Two Armies of House Sinister
 - Two Fleets of House Ravenwood
 - Two Armies of House Ravenwood

House Sinister will receive the first Fleet and Army Casualty, then further casualties will be determined by coin flip, unless House Ravenwood would be reduced to Zero Fleets/Armies. Compensation equal to half the value of the lost units (excluding the first casualty suffered by House Sinister) will be paid next turn.

Pledge of Loyalty and Fealty to the Emperor, Lord Insanus Cancer, ruler of Earth, the Sol System, and all of Mankind

We the undersigned hereby pledge loyalty and fealty to the Emperor, Lord Insanus Cancer, ruler of Earth, the Sol System, and all of Mankind. 

We acknowledge that stewardship of the planets under our House is given only through the benevolent generosity of the Emperor, and that the Emperor holds eminent domain over all.  We pledge to serve the Emperor for all time, through life and death, sickness and health, and to never betray him, nor raise a banner in opposition, nor lift a finger against him.

The Emperor is the wisest and most powerful human in all of the universe.  It is a joy to wake every day knowing the Emperor guides us with wisdom and courage, and that he is much smarter and far more handsome than anyone else.  We pledge to follow his every order, for his grand plan is ineffable and to counter his designs is treason against the entire human race.  We pledge allegiance to the Emperor and will spend every waking moment thinking about how great he is.

We promise to never ever break this contract, ever.

Signed,
Lord Tyrannous, of House Sinister.

Reminder that I’m defending nirur rn, so they have 5 fleets in defense.

I might be convinced to renege my defense treaty with them, but treachery doesn’t come cheap.
