Executive Directive 3 - Senate Policy
By order of the Ordinat, Andromeda abandons its policy of senate non-involvement. The entry of Andromeda into a sphere with a stable senate has lead us to re-consider this policy, and we have determined that we can safely support other alliances senate candidates on the green sphere without creating undue political tension. At this time, we will only support UJA senators.

The Andromeda policy forbidding the running of an Andromeda senator stands.

Executive Directive 7 - Protectorate Policy
By Order of the Ordinat, the Dawny Accord shall be made law

The Dawny Accords
A Temporary Protection Program for Young Alliances

Quote :

PREAMBLE
When I first came to lead the nation of Ithaca on Planet Bob, I almost immediately joined an alliance called Invicta. I learned many things from them, but one of the things that most impacted me was Invicta’s no tech raiding policy. I believed strongly in it, but, it was not until I went off to start Andromeda that I truly came to understand the problem with tech raiding – or, at least, I came to understand what I saw as a problem with tech raiding. This problem, in my eyes, was the occasional tendency of tech raiding to lead young alliances with potential to be decimated while they are still tiny, much as Andromeda war in our first days.

In those first days, I really wished we had someone there for us – not a protector, we just hadn’t had the time to build that type of a relation with someone. It would’ve just been nice to have someone to help us into the world. We were lucky, because we did have someone who helped us out and got a few alliances to stop raiding us, and that would be Dawny, leader of Invicta, who I’ve named this for. This program is a way for Andromeda and I to do the same service to young, enthusiastic alliances that we were given in our first days.

Please note, we do not in any way condemn those alliances who do tech raid. We believe strongly in our sovereignty, and we have no place to violate yours and tell you what is right and what is wrong.
