[[Klingon|Klingons]] who follow the Way of the Warrior, the belief system developed by Kahless the Unforgettable, value honor above all else. Warriors who die an honorable death are said to join Kahless, the first Klingon Emperor, in the Black Fleet in '''Sto-Vo-Kor''', a paradise where battle and feasting can eternally be shared and won. They can even command a Black Fleet Ship in which they endlessly wage glorious combat, against worthy foes who have also entered the ranks of the dead.
==About the Alliance:==
 
 
 
Originally formed by Ptonjalken, NEOTERRAN is currently one of the oldest and most venerated alliances within Starfleet Commander. NEOTERRAN is a modestly-sized, motley group of players bound together by a transcendent sense of community with one another, yet highly individualistic. Their elite members hail from a variety of tactical gaming styles, entertaining different strategies with an open mind for improved game play. The NEOTERRAN membership has a delicate but successful balance between veteran and fresh blood. Their successes can be seen through their dominance in multiple areas of the Leaders board along with a high alliance average despite having a disproportional number of its members below the alliance mean. While not a designated training alliance, the simple exposure to the veteran gaming outlook within NTA rapidly aligns new members to exhibit dominant traits. While we will accept and review all applications submitted, our current focus is on finding the exceptional player to join our ranks. There are many worthwhile alliances out there and we believe that alliances should be a good fit for the individual joining it.
 
 
 
In May of 2013 NTA Ranked #5 and HOD Ranked #10 in a joint effort to provide a better environment for the alliance members, opened discussion of a merger between both great alliances. Then in June after much discussion and input from members the two alliances merged creating the #? ranked alliance in SFC.
 
 
 
 
 
==Motto:==
 
 
 
 
 
We are the Neoterran Alliance (NTA). Our motto is, "We kill with a smile." In that endeavor, it is our hope that your relations with us stay pleasant and entertaining regardless of the exercise of in-game rules and regulations for fair and impartial game play between players. We hope all of our interactions are respectful when respected and that you have as much fun playing this game as we do.

The Officer core of NEOTERRAN takes caution when accepting new members. While skill and verifiable progress is definitely a factor, those who thrive within the NTA environment absorb core NTA values and are active in its community.
 
 
 
Requests to join can be submitted to [http://playstarfleet.com/alliances/show/450|<span style="color:#090F64;">NTA</span>]

==Moral Compass:==
+
== About the Alliance ==
 +
Sto-Vo-Kor [SVK] is an alliance created by former members of the Klingon Black Fleet that were unhappy with the May 2010 scandal involving unapologetic cheating by several members in leadership positions of KBF.  In an attempt to play the game fairly and with honor, Sto-Vo-Kor was created as the new home of the Black Fleet. 
  
As quoted from previous NTA Leader Psiosa:
+
=== Highlights ===
"I personally believe that our values need to be intrinsic and perpetual in practice. Because we acknowledge players are real people too in the real world, it is never our intent to exhibit great cruelty, cause psychology harm or distress over a game. We believe it should be fun for everybody." That said, our actions are dictated by the rules of engagement as established by Blue Frog Gaming. In-game realities are defined by the Creator and we are merely participants.
+
* Alliance with great camaraderie
 +
* Council of Officers that vote on key issues, currently lead by Robert E Smith
 +
* Bi-annual Leadership elections.
 +
* Members help each other with advice and in-game assistance
 +
* "Ask the Experts" Q&A Forum that is always answered and never rejected with "go read the wiki!"
 +
* Not a newbie/training alliance; membership cut-off is rank 30k.
  
Please note that in our endeavor to have fun, we do focus on maximizing the number of targets that are available to our members. All of our officers have signed on for public duty to serve the interests of NTA and its members. Our Leader is here to serve the officers and facilitate in their duties to our members.
+
== NaP Terms ==
  
 +
We value Non-Aggression Pacts and honor them in perpetuity. The terms of our NaPs are as follows:
  
==Tools of the Trade==
+
# No member of either alliance shall probe or attack an active member of the other alliance. In-actives are fair game.<br>Resources acquired from an inactive player will not be repaid if that player later becomes active.
 +
# This Agreement heartily encourages NaP members to help all NaP members whenever and however possible. Any defense offered to other alliance member's is based on the individual's decision. This will only strengthen our allies and therefore strengthen our positions in the galaxy. And uplift Our Honor!
 +
# This Agreement prohibits members of either alliance from participating with their allies in a group attack upon members of either alliance.<br>Any violation of this clause will constitute a violation of Clause 4.
 +
# All members of each alliance in this agreement shall abide by this Non-Aggression Pact.<br>An attempt can be made by the Aggressor to make 105% reparations the resources taken in the attack and the cost of ships destroyed (defense's excluded). <br>{{note}}The only exception to the 105% reparations of resources is in the event a '''Moon''' is formed. <br>A Formal apology to the attacked as well as the Leader of both alliances will be "Required" in an attempt to show remorse.<br>This addresses the potential for people to be unaware that a NaP existed.
 +
# All members of both alliances agree to the rules (written or implied) of Stardrift Empire by Blue Frog Gaming and shall not use loopholes in the rules to excuse dishonorable conduct. Any member of either alliance who becomes aware, or is aware, of any rules violations by any player in the game will immediately inform their alliance leadership and Blue Frog Gaming via a support ticket. The alliance leader or his/her designee will inform the other alliance leadership of the rules violation.
 +
# This agreement will continue in force in perpetuity. Both parties agree that no hostile action will be taken by either party upon the other without 24 hours written notice to the leadership of the other alliance of the intent to revoke this agreement. Time starts when the other leader responds to the written notice to end the NaP.
 +
<br/ >
 +
::{{note}}There is only one exception to the "No Probe Rule". If you see a Large Debris Cloud at a NaP'd players planet.<br/ >If you have good relations with him/her, then send a letter of intention first. Stating you were worried and or something to that effect.
  
We recommend that our members use the following scripts and tools to enhance their SFC playing experience:

== Inside Sto-Vo-Kor ==
 +
=== Recruitment ===
 +
The goal for the alliance is to be somewhere between 100 and 150 members.  That seems to be the sweet-spot for alliance size any more than that becomes congested.
  
 +
New recruits:
 +
* Must be above rank 25k.
 +
* Must have worked with you before
 +
* Must be known to you.  An existing member effectively vouches for them.
 +
* Must have a reason for wanting to join.
  
==Sharing Spoils from Multi-Player Engagements==
+
When they apply, they provide that information. Failure to provide it results in a request to provide answers to those questions. Any one of the Officers handles a recruitment it depends on who is available and online and in the mood..
  
'''NTA''''s position is that each participant in a multi-player engagement is a valuable contributor and should share equally in the spoils of war, irrespective of the amount of resources they committed to the engagement. The spoils to be shared are those which remain after each player's expenses (hydro burned as fuel, cost of IPBMs, and cost of destroyed ships) have been covered, to the degree that is feasible, using the acquired resources. The cost of defenses destroyed during a Group Defend are not to be subtracted from the spoils of the GD prior to calculating player shares.
+
They're simple questions with simple answers. They don't need to have a profound justification. These conditions are what leads to the camaraderie we've developed in this alliance!
  
This position applies to players involved in a Group Attack, Group Defend, or debris field pickup. It also applies in the case where a player identifies a target, then asks a particular Alliance member to "provide all the muscle" to take out the target.  In this latter case, the identifying player and the active player share equally in the spoils of war. This position does not apply if a player posts an identified target to the Alliance's message board. Any reader of the board is free to take on such targets and has no expected obligation to share in the fruits of war with the poster.
+
=== Rules ===
 +
Some general guidelines.  The rules are not intended to be onerous - some of these rules are general guidelines, some are hard & fast rules. It's pretty obvious, and it's pretty obvious that you'll be taken aside and talked to if you're doing something wrong.  99.95% of the players don't ever have that conversation.
  
This is the Alliance's default policy. It isn't mandatory. Players are free to negotiate alternative arrangements before performing a multi-player engagement or collaborative operation, such as farming of an inactive. If no such alternative understanding is agreed to before the engagement, it is expected that the involved players will abide by the default policy.
+
* Peace is acceptable to the Klingon Empire. NAPs WILL be honored and so will ceasefires. Warriors breaking either will be expected to make reparations to restore their honor.
  
 +
* Members cannot put unofficial NAPs in place at an alliance level. There is no way of tracking it. Members can however recommend a particular alliance and it will be investigated by the Officers and voted upon if the other side is willing.
  
==Memorial to Unforgettable NTA members:==
+
* If attacking a player, don't pound them into the ground. Hit them once and if they contact you asking you to stop, consider honoring the request. Help them back to their feet. You can make a friend this way and friends are better than enemies (trust me).
  
Bodlin
+
* Show respect especially to those within the alliance. If responding with criticism to an idea, be positive & constructive! Not negative and destructive!!
 +
** If you can't suggest any alternative, then you probably don't have anything to criticize!
  
Buqinator
+
* Respond not with nasty words to an enemy or a member of the alliance. Try rising above it and taking the moral high ground and reasoning with them.
 +
** If that doesn't work out, ignore them. No need to be a jerk to jerks!
  
Grandpa Kenneth
+
* Farming inactives is fine!
  
Jon S Brown
+
* Attacking "active players" that have left their fleets at a planet is fine, since their warships shoot back it is indeed honorable conduct!

* No Fleetsave = No Fleet.  Don't come crying if you forget to FRS.
  
Creator: Ptonjalken

* Play how you want.  You want to be in d mode?  Fine, no questions asked.  No criticism given.  There are more than enough Warrior Spirits to do the heavy-lifting and from time-to-time we all need to go into d.

=== Leadership ===
 +
The Leadership comes up for re-election every 6 months.  The ranks in Sto-Vo-Kor are based on game rank, not some popularity contest based on how you kiss the Leader's ass or play politics.  Anyone can become the Leader through hard-work and service to the alliance.

All Officers share the same duties, there are no people in charge of recruiting or diplomacy or this or that.  No bureaucracy.  The Officer dealing with an issue is in charge of that particular issue and it doesn't matter what it is about.  The Officer presents his findings to the Council, the Council votes.  A decision is made.  Done.

The Way of the Warrior

Klingons who follow the Way of the Warrior, the belief system developed by Kahless the Unforgettable, value honor above all else. Warriors who die an honorable death are said to join Kahless, the first Klingon Emperor, in the Black Fleet in Sto-Vo-Kor, a paradise where battle and feasting can eternally be shared and won. They can even command a Black Fleet Ship in which they endlessly wage glorious combat, against worthy foes who have also entered the ranks of the dead.

About the Alliance

Sto-Vo-Kor [SVK] is an alliance created by former members of the Klingon Black Fleet that were unhappy with the May 2010 scandal involving unapologetic cheating by several members in leadership positions of KBF. In an attempt to play the game fairly and with honor, Sto-Vo-Kor was created as the new home of the Black Fleet.

Highlights

  • Alliance with great camaraderie
  • Council of Officers that vote on key issues, currently lead by Robert E Smith
  • Bi-annual Leadership elections.
  • Members help each other with advice and in-game assistance
  • "Ask the Experts" Q&A Forum that is always answered and never rejected with "go read the wiki!"
  • Not a newbie/training alliance; membership cut-off is rank 30k.

NaP Terms

We value Non-Aggression Pacts and honor them in perpetuity. The terms of our NaPs are as follows:

  1. No member of either alliance shall probe or attack an active member of the other alliance. In-actives are fair game.
    Resources acquired from an inactive player will not be repaid if that player later becomes active.
  2. This Agreement heartily encourages NaP members to help all NaP members whenever and however possible. Any defense offered to other alliance member's is based on the individual's decision. This will only strengthen our allies and therefore strengthen our positions in the galaxy. And uplift Our Honor!
  3. This Agreement prohibits members of either alliance from participating with their allies in a group attack upon members of either alliance.
    Any violation of this clause will constitute a violation of Clause 4.
  4. All members of each alliance in this agreement shall abide by this Non-Aggression Pact.
    An attempt can be made by the Aggressor to make 105% reparations the resources taken in the attack and the cost of ships destroyed (defense's excluded).
    Light Bulb Icon.png Note: The only exception to the 105% reparations of resources is in the event a Moon is formed.
    A Formal apology to the attacked as well as the Leader of both alliances will be "Required" in an attempt to show remorse.
    This addresses the potential for people to be unaware that a NaP existed.
  5. All members of both alliances agree to the rules (written or implied) of Stardrift Empire by Blue Frog Gaming and shall not use loopholes in the rules to excuse dishonorable conduct. Any member of either alliance who becomes aware, or is aware, of any rules violations by any player in the game will immediately inform their alliance leadership and Blue Frog Gaming via a support ticket. The alliance leader or his/her designee will inform the other alliance leadership of the rules violation.
  6. This agreement will continue in force in perpetuity. Both parties agree that no hostile action will be taken by either party upon the other without 24 hours written notice to the leadership of the other alliance of the intent to revoke this agreement. Time starts when the other leader responds to the written notice to end the NaP.


Light Bulb Icon.png Note: There is only one exception to the "No Probe Rule". If you see a Large Debris Cloud at a NaP'd players planet.
If you have good relations with him/her, then send a letter of intention first. Stating you were worried and or something to that effect.

Membership

If requesting membership to the Sto-Vo-Kor [SVK] include the following.

  • Planet Location
  • Who Referred you
  • Any Prior Alliance

Inside Sto-Vo-Kor

Recruitment

The goal for the alliance is to be somewhere between 100 and 150 members. That seems to be the sweet-spot for alliance size any more than that becomes congested.

New recruits:

  • Must be above rank 25k.
  • Must have worked with you before
  • Must be known to you. An existing member effectively vouches for them.
  • Must have a reason for wanting to join.

When they apply, they provide that information. Failure to provide it results in a request to provide answers to those questions. Any one of the Officers handles a recruitment it depends on who is available and online and in the mood..

They're simple questions with simple answers. They don't need to have a profound justification. These conditions are what leads to the camaraderie we've developed in this alliance!

Rules

Some general guidelines. The rules are not intended to be onerous - some of these rules are general guidelines, some are hard & fast rules. It's pretty obvious, and it's pretty obvious that you'll be taken aside and talked to if you're doing something wrong. 99.95% of the players don't ever have that conversation.

Leadership

The Leadership comes up for re-election every 6 months. The ranks in Sto-Vo-Kor are based on game rank, not some popularity contest based on how you kiss the Leader's ass or play politics. Anyone can become the Leader through hard-work and service to the alliance.

The Officer dealing with an issue is in charge of that particular issue and it doesn't matter what it is about. The Officer presents his findings to the Council, the Council votes. A decision is made. Done.
