Imperial Systems Syndicate (I.S.S.)
Imperial Systems Syndicate
is a growing alliance that is dedicated to the needs of its members.
Here are the rules we live by:
Prime Directive
To grow the Imperial Systems Syndicate without Direct Confrontation with other Alliances.
Rules of Engagement
1. No member in the I.S.S. is allowed to attack an Alliance that is considered to be a Legitimate Alliance (See #3) without prior authorization from their Commanding Officers.
2. I.S.S. members are allowed to attack inactive systems and systems not allied with an Alliance at their discretion.
3. Legitimate Alliances are alliances with more than 25 members in their alliances.
Basic Rules
1. Follow the Chain of Command.
2. Keep Trades to the Official Trade Board
Communication is key to any coordinated tactics. When asking for help or reporting attacks please try to keep in mind the Five W’s:
WHO: Who is attacking you? Include his name and the planet the attack is being sent from.
WHAT: What is he sending? Include the number of ships and the type of ships included in the attack. If you have Espionage Level 8 you can report the exact number of each type of ship.
WHEN: When will the attack arrive? In order to successfully coordinate a group defend others will need to know if their fleet can arrive before the attacker.
WHERE: Which planet is being attacked? Again, this will help others determine if they can reach you in time for a group defend.
WHY: Why are you being attacked? In order for an officer to accurately assess a situation we will have to know if this is an unprovoked attack, have you been hitting him repeatedly, have you hit the attacker’s alliance mates, have you made fun of his mother, etc.
Example of a report that will allow for the fastest response time by anyone in the vicinity:
Incoming Attack Akkarin [43:87:10] attacking [43:66:4] 90 Ships – 75 posiedons 15 Athenas ETA: 21:12 Game time
Note it will be easiest if you list the ETA as game time rather than something like “45 minutes out”. It will eliminate the need for each individual to manually compute the arrival time by figuring out when you posted your last update and adjusting to compensate for any time in-between.
3. Stay aware of NAP's
