exceed the following limits:  



   The Solar Republic:
   16 shares


   Republic of New Venus:
   14 shares


   Martian Association of Free Colonies 
   (inc. the Martian Union):
   12 shares


   Greater Federation of Asteel:
   12 shares





   1.1.
   For section 1: 1 share = 95 CFs for all polities. An 
   additional 5 CFs per share may be kept as mothballed vessels.


   1.2.
   Navies are taken to include all armed interstellar 
   warships belonging to a polity, including those mothballed, but 
   excluding any ships rated as 2 CF or less.




The IP fleet of a polity's Capital Homeworld 
system will not exceed 4 shares;  The IP fleet of 
a polity's other Q0 systems will not exceed 
2 shares per system.  



   2.1.
   For section 2: 1 share = 50 CFs for all polities.


   2.2.
   The IP fleet of a system is taken to include all armed 
   interplanetary warships belonging to a polity in that system, 
   including those mothballed.


   2.3.
   Pacifiers, surface based weapons and weapons not able 
   to leave planetary orbit are excluded from the calculation of IP 
   fleet numbers.




For all sections of the treaty the CF of any 
ship will be taken to be either their current 
actual armament or the standard armament for their 
ship type, whichever is the higher.


All signatory polities will publish a list of 
all vessels covered by sections 1 & 2 above after 
the treaty is ratified. This will form the initial 
calculation of the total CF of the polity. Vessels 
can only be removed from this list if verified to 
have been sold, given away, scrapped or otherwise 
destroyed by at least two other signatories. All 
new vessels will be added to the list at the point 
when they are completed or taken over (where they 
are acquired after completion by another polity or
corporation).



Signatories will declare the location of all 
shipyards and must notify other signatories of all 
builds of new shipyards. A signatory may send a 
representative to any shipyard at any time, without 
notice, to establish what is being built and what 
has been built since the treaty was ratified.
  

Any polity exceeding the limits must reduce 
its complement of vessels within a period of 100 
days by either scrapping, selling or donating to 
another polity sufficient vessels to bring the 
naval forces within the appropriate limit.



The Treaty shall remain in force for ten years 
after signing.


The value of the shares mentioned in Sections 
(1) & (2) and the duration in Section (7) may be 
renegotiated annually and may be changed
by the unanimous agreement of all signatories.

  
Failure to abide by the above articles will be 
considered a breach of the Treaty and a breach of 
a polity's International Obligations under Treaty 
Practice. Breach of the Treaty by any one power 
frees all other powers from their obligations 
under the Treaty for the duration of said breach.
