Happy October, Magisterium!
Today, I am proud to bring a new treaty proposal to the Magisterium to consider, with our friends in Starlight.
Starlight and TEP have enjoyed a fruitful relationship, both as part of our wider foreign affairs network as well as being a crucial participant of the Cordone operation earlier this year. This step feels like a natural progression of this kinship, and I am happy to have worked on this treaty together with our friends. Please take a look at the treaty as it is drafted, and give any feedback, comments, and suggestions you think should be considered here.
Thank you for your time
