Sarqel Treaty Organization

The Sarqel Treaty Organization is a defense pact, formed from the merger of the defense apparatuses of the Conciliation Union and the Republic of Qloath. The organization existed in a lesser form as part of Seyek-Qloathi defense pacts, with the new independence of the Iridium Kingdom and the membership of the Federation, the old structure was given a new update. The STO allows deployment of member fleets across border lines, facilitating more efficient deployment of forces. It also pools military budgets of materiel and personnel, allowing larger projects to be considered.

An additional partner is the Orion Union, in a special ‘partners for defense’ category. The Orions are largely sharing technology and expertise, as well as servicing a number of logistical and supply chain contracts, while considering closer integration.

Though they do not pride themselves upon the role, if war between the Ashalla Pact and the Federation breaks out the STO fully expects that much of the burden will fall upon them and they are actively preparing for that circumstance. Current STO priority is on establishing a new headquarters and major shipyard at Fiiral, taking up significant industrial resources. However, as per Member World Coordination Division directives, they are gearing up production for a large wave of Starbases covering critical systems like Hacitorus and Saritcos. Additional outposts are being considered.

The fleet is centered on a small number of dedicated heavy combat ships of the Sunrise and Arqueniou Leb Nin classes, backed up by a wide array of capable heavy and light cruisers and two classes of combat frigate. General purpose duties are generally given over to Torqui Leb Lagan explorers and science vessels, though they may also reinforce the line and serve scouting duties in time of war.
