Intervention may be rendered in the form of diplomatic support, financial aid, and military support.

The Brotherhood agree to participate in tech deals with Invicta nations, with assistance from Invicta’s finance personnel. The Brotherhood also agree to relocate to Purple Sphere and take steps to gain acceptance into blocs and operations that encourage unity in the Purple Sphere.

Invicta shall dispatch from its government an adviser to assist in the development of The Brotherhood. The adviser shall act as Invicta’s ambassador and facilitate communication between the two governments. Additionally, all treaties proposed to or by The Brotherhood mandating mutual defence or stronger stipulations must receive approval from Invicta government prior to going into effect, by way of the signature of the adviser and either the President, Vice President or Chief of Staff of Invicta.

Article Five: Evaluation
This pact shall last for 90 days, after which time Invicta and The Brotherhood shall review this treaty. A ten-day grace period shall exist during the review, after which this treaty expires and a new treaty shall come into effect, if one is agreed to. Should either side wish to end this pact within 90 days, advance notice of 96 hours is required.

This pact shall be considered redundant and void should The Brotherhood gain admission into Pegasus.
