The Republic does not stand alone. There exist, in the gaming sphere, organisations that are not the Republic but are not its enemies. They fight for human cooperation, for principles adjacent to humanity's survival, under banners not our own. To treat them as irrelevant is waste. To absorb them wholesale is arrogance. To ally with them on structured, documented terms — that is strategy.
The Foederati Vigiliae framework is the legal, doctrinal, and operational framework governing the integration of external gaming organisations (Legiones Foederatae) into the Republic's operational sphere — without requiring the dissolution of their identity or the surrender of their internal sovereignty.
Two tiers of Foedus
- Tier I — Foedus Auxiliarius (Tactical Alliance): occasional joint operations, mutual doctrinal recognition, formal non-aggression. Coordination at Praefectus-equivalent level during joint operations.
- Tier II — Foedus Militaris (Strategic Alliance): regular structured military coordination, deep doctrinal alignment, advisory seat in the Consilium for the Legatus Foederatus during sessions where the allied legion is materially affected.
Iuramentum Foederis
The Sacramentum Vigiliae is the oath of Republic Citizens. It is not taken by Milites Foederati. In its place, the Legatus Foederatus pronounces the Iuramentum Foederis (Oath of the Covenant) at the signing ceremony. The Republic does not demand that allied forces become citizens before they may stand at our side. It demands only that, in the space we share, the same fundamental standards hold.
