Alliance

Alliances are agreements between two or more Organizations. Alliances come in two types, formal or informal.

Formal alliances
Formal Alliances are enforceable pacts or deals that are handled by your M.A.X. terminal.

There are three types of Formal Alliances:


 * 1) Defense Pact - a non-agression Pact and military cooperation pact. Allows you to create joint Fleets and can be broken at any time.
 * 2) Research Pact - a commitment to invest in Research and share Science points for a number of rounds. Any Tech discovered as a result of this agreement is shared between both organizations. Also each organizaiton gains a small boost to Research, and Research Pacts must be approved by the Galactic Universities.
 * 3) Trade Deal - an exchange of goods, Planetary Resources, or favors. If any part of a Trade Deal is broken the whole thing is nulified.

Informal alliances
Organizations may, at any time, make promises to one another. However, if these agreements are not part of a Formal Alliance they are by trust only.
