"Born of honor, strengthened by loyalty, united in trade."

Preamble
In the endless ocean of stars, where empires rise and fall to dust, those who believe in more than power and profit emerge.
We, the noble Houses of New Eden, have united under a single oath\u2014
that honor, loyalty, and free trade shall be the foundation of our existence and the bridge between our worlds.
Not by fear, but by trust.
Not by coercion, but by mutual benefit.
Not by blood, but by dignity, we will shape the future of the stars.

Article I \u2013 Of Honor
Honor is the cornerstone of our existence.
Every word spoken and every deal struck shall be made with truth and steadfastness.
A promise is holier than gold, and a broken oath weighs heavier than any loss.
Thus, every House that stands under this manifesto shall always act with an open face and an upright heart.

Article II \u2013 On Loyalty
Loyalty is the invisible bond that unites Houses in a shared heritage.
We stand by one another in times of peace as in the storm of war.
No House shall fight alone against the darkness, as long as one of us still bears light.
Loyalty to our allies, to our cause, and to our word of honor is unshakeable.

Article III \u2013 On Free Trade and Creation
Free trade is the lifeblood of our civilization.
Trade, research, and production shall not be tools of oppression,
but rather sources of common strength.
May no House bind another through greed,
but rather increase the prosperity of all through just agreement and honorable partnership.
For wealth shared through trust is the purest form of power.

Article IV \u2013 On the Alliance of Houses
The unity of noble Houses is our shield against the whims of the stars.
No House shall stand higher than another,
for in the face of heaven we are all children of the same flame.

Article V \u2013 Of the Legacy of the Stars
We are but travelers on the stage of the cosmos,
yet our work shall endure beyond our deaths.
Our works, our trade routes, our research, and our code of honor
shall inscribe the name of our Houses in the history of the stars.
For true greatness lies not in wealth or power,
but in the honor one maintains even when no one is looking.


Concluding Formula

Thus we swear,
by the light of the stars and under the seal of the Houses,
to bear this manifesto as an eternal bond\u2014
so that no storm may divide us,
no enemy may bend us,
and no time may forget us.

For honor. For trade. For the Houses.'
