	The ~~Arbiters~~' Ambition is a ~~strictly neutral collective of players who~~ aim to progressively develop an affluent militaristic, diplomatic and economic entity that is committed to influencing and regulating the course of Starbase's cumulative history. It dedicates itself to make a lasting mark on the game's universe and direct its diplomatic and political landscape to take compelling courses.		The Arbiter's Ambition is a meritocratic syndicate, currently organised into flexible and modular Companies:
			* Balance Core Private Contracting
			* Symmachian Shipworks
			* Jefe Construction

			The Ambition’s aim is to progressively develop into an affluent militaristic, diplomatic and economic entity that is committed to influencing and regulating the course of Starbase's cumulative history. It dedicates itself to make a lasting mark on the game's universe and to direct its diplomatic and political landscape to take compelling courses.

	On the 9th of July 2019, the ''Symmachian Syndicate'' was founded by members of the current Ambition's Administration. After time, the ''Symmachian Syndicate'' split up into two factions in an effort to find a different approach to leadership: One ~~faction that allows its members~~ to focus on the Syndicate's original ideologies, which resulted in the creation of the Arbiters' Ambition~~, and another faction that~~ kept the Symmachian Syndicates aspired playstyle, which ended up as the German-only faction Zer0³.		On the 9th of July 2019, the Symmachian Syndicate was founded by members of the current Ambition's Administration. After time, the Symmachian Syndicate split up into two factions in an effort to find a different approach to leadership. One group decided to focus on the Syndicate's original ideologies, which resulted in the creation of the Arbiters' Ambition. The other kept the Symmachian Syndicates aspired playstyle, which ended up as the German-only faction Zer0³.
	After the split, months were spent developing a consistent, reliable internal structure that is catered specifically to the needs of the Ambition and ~~has proven~~ to provide an efficient organization. ~~The~~ faction went public and started recruitment efforts on the 11th of February 2020.
			After the split, months were spent developing a consistent, reliable internal structure that is catered specifically to the needs of the Ambition and is hoped to provide an efficient organization that can last for years to come. Only after this structure was fully defined and internal infrastructure prepared, the faction went public and started recruitment efforts on the 11th of February 2020.


	== Faction structure ==		== Faction structure ==

	~~There are~~ a ~~few distinct elements~~ that ~~allow the Ambition~~ to work ~~in an organized manner. They are the primary tools to structure the community based on each individual member’s preferences and enable the faction to operate~~ in a ~~decentralized~~ manner.		The Ambition sports a unique and flexible rank structure that allows for its members to work in a decentralised yet organised manner:

	* The Administration: The leadership council of the Ambition, ~~making~~ decisions and ~~setting~~ goals for the entire faction.		* Patriarch: Faction Head — Ambition supervisor and chief diplomat
	* Families: Where a business has departments, the closest thing the Ambition has to offer are Families: The ~~overarching~~ groups that every member belongs to, each ~~catering to a specific playstyle~~, but independent in nature.		* Captain: Senior officers — Family heads and Administration members.
	* Units: ~~To allow members~~ to ~~play in groups with friends and concentrate on different tasks within their families~~, ~~higher-ranking members take over management of~~ a ~~Unit along with the members of it~~. ~~This provides~~ the primary means to ~~decentralize~~ workloads for the faction.		* Lieutenant: Faction officers — Unit leaders.
	* Ranks: As a group with meritocratic values, the Ambition rewards ~~those members~~ that ~~put in~~ effort and ~~gives~~ them the opportunity to ~~move something~~ within the faction by taking over ~~an administrative~~ role ~~and grow~~ their own Units.		* Specialists: Highly specialised and experienced members.
	* Merit: ~~Participation~~ and dedication ~~are highly valued~~. As such, the Ambition ~~wants~~ to ~~incentivize~~ and reward members for their efforts. ~~The merit system is what allows this:~~ The more ~~a member~~ bring ~~themselves~~ in, the more the ~~faction~~ will give ~~them~~ the means to grow ~~themselves~~ and those ~~around them~~.		* Member: Fully initiated and trusted Arbiters. Can be promoted to either Lieutenant or Specialist depending on preference.
			* Initiate: New and unconfirmed members in training.

			Furthermore, there are a few distinct elements that the Ambition utilises. These are the primary tools used to structure the community and enable the faction to operate in its decentralised manner.
			* The Administration: The leadership council of the Ambition, they make decisions and set goals for the entire faction. These are comprised of the Patriarch and the Captains.
			* Families: Where a business has departments, the closest thing the Ambition has to offer are its Families. The overall groups that every member belongs to, each specialized based on their strengths, but ultimately independent in their nature.
			* Units: Akin to military-style squads, Units are led by a Lieutenant. These Units are small, focused groups that provide the primary means to decentralise workloads for the faction.
			* Ranks: An efficient group needs to be efficiently managed. As a group with meritocratic values, the Ambition rewards players that exhibit effort and give them the opportunity to lead within the faction. By taking over a leadership role within their own Units and Sections, dedicated players can expect to be at the helm of change within the Arbiter’s Ambition.
			* Merit: We highly value participation and dedication. As such, the Ambition aims to incentivise and reward members for their efforts. The more you bring yourself in, the more the Ambition will give you the means to grow yourself and those working with you.

	== Business ==		== Business ==
	By principle, the Ambition is open to anything. However, what offers it decides to accept always depends on the current political landscape and its existing obligations. In short: Client requests are accepted or rejected case-by-case, depending on whether it fits into the Ambitions agenda.
	~~Typical client order are for example:~~
	*Trade: The buying and selling of resources and/or ships.
	*Services & Commissions: Building ships, setting up factories/outputs, etc.
	*Agreements: Forming more permanent relations.
	*Mediation: Mediating between factions in a large conflict or between members or parts of a faction.
	*Cooperative Operations: Joint assaults, training sessions, influencing markets, etc.

	~~They key point to deals with~~ the Ambition is that ~~they~~ are ~~''absolutely discreet''~~, ~~meaning~~ the Ambition ~~does not talk about it publicly~~ or with ~~other~~ factions or ~~players outside without the client~~'s ~~knowledge or approval. Deals with~~ the Ambition are ~~often '''free''' or~~ in ~~exchange for the promise of~~ '~~''favors''' in~~ the ~~future~~.		=== What does the Arbiters' Ambition do? ===

			By principle, the Ambition is open to anything. However, the offers that the Ambition accepts will always depends on the current political landscape and its existing obligations. There are, however, certain activities the Ambition will usually be open to, regardless:

			* Trade: The buying and selling of resources and/or ships.
			* Services & Commissions: Building ships, setting up factories/outputs, etc.
			* Agreements: Forming more permanent relations with the Ambition.
			* Mediation: Mediating between factions in a large conflict or between members/parts of a faction.
			* Cooperative Operations: Joint assaults, training sessions, influencing markets, etc.


			=== The Ambition's Diplomatic Statuses ===

			* Locked: A state where all requests are denied unless they directly support an imminent project.
			* In action: The Ambition is actively partaking in a project. Any requests that don't help this project to progress will be denied

			==== Currently, the Ambition is <b>Open</b>. ====

However, what offers it decides to accept always depends on the current political landscape and its existing obligations. There are however a few activities the Ambition can see itself execute.
	~~====~~ Trade ~~====~~		*Trade: The buying and selling of resources and/or ships
	~~You want to buy or sell something,~~ and ~~the Ambition might be interested to be your partner. Whether that's~~ resources~~, components~~ or ~~finished products like entire~~ ships~~, whether you want to earn money or exchange it against other goods, The Ambition is open for it.~~		*Services & Commissions: Building ships, setting up factories/outputs, etc.
			*Agreements: Forming more permanent relations with the Ambition
	~~====~~ Services & ~~Comissions ====~~		*Mediation: Mediating between factions in a large conflict or between members or parts of a faction.
	~~There is something you need doing but just can't find the right people or the right price. If it's about~~ setting up factories, building, programming or repairing your ships, mass-producing assets or simply making adjustments to existing ones, a headhunt or anything else, there's prone to be somebody in the Ambition who knows how to get your job done properly.		*Cooperative Operations: Joint assaults, training sessions, influencing markets, etc.

	~~====~~ Agreements ~~====~~
	~~You are looking for a~~ more ~~long-lasting partnership with the Ambition? You may plan to grow your circle of close business partners, have a regular or reliable source of income or a steady flow of supplies, agreements~~ with the Ambition ~~will always be temporary, but give you the opportunity to negotiate a deal with continuous nature. These can be business-related, non-aggression pacts or part of a diplomatic effort.~~

	~~==== Projects ====~~
	You have an idea for something formidable, something awe-inspiring, a real game changer, but you lack the means to realize it. Whether you need manpower, resources, ideas or organization to do it, the Ambition may close the gap and become the bridge to make your vision a reality.

	~~====~~ Mediation ~~====~~
	~~Whether you're trying not to let~~ a conflict ~~escalate~~ or ~~end an already existing one, mediation is a strong and often underestimated tool that can lead to~~ a ~~very beneficial outcome~~. The Arbiters' Ambition poses as a neutral third party to negotiate the best conditions possible for all involved actors and is willing to take over the logistical sides of it to make it safe and reliable.

	~~====~~ Cooperative Operations ~~====~~
	Joint assaults, training sessions ~~or your plan to influence the market. We're there from start to finish~~, ~~from the planning phase to execution of your operation. Contact us to talk about how you can include the Ambition in your initiative~~.

	=== With who does The Ambition do business===		=== With who does The Ambition do business===
	~~====~~ Absolute neutral ~~====~~		*Absolute neutral: The default status of any faction
	~~Any faction that the Ambition does not know has not yet dealt with or is of no special interest to us is in a~~ status of ~~absolute neutrality, which can be considered the regular status for~~ any faction~~. Every offer will be checked carefully, evaluated and discussed in the Administration to make sure it does not conflict with the current aims of the faction.~~

	~~====Faction of interest====~~
	Factions of interest are those that the Ambition has researched, regular contact with or supported in the past. They may have a direct communication channel to the Administration or a designated person for contact. These factions are considered as possible partners and may end up as a supported faction, but are not immune to have their status changed at any point.

	~~==== Supported faction ====~~		*Faction of interest: Factions the Ambition is doing business with right now or has done in the past.
	~~If a faction has particular plans that we consider interesting and would like to back,~~ the ~~whole~~ Ambition ~~dedicates itself to assist this supported faction in its plans. These factions can usually profit from our services and aid in very favorable conditions, often completely free as it~~ is in ~~our own interest to reinforce these partners. This status tends to be short-lived, as the support ends as soon as the Ambition gains the impression that~~ the ~~faction can sustain its plans on its own~~.

	~~==== Opposing~~ faction ~~====~~		*Supported faction: Factions the Ambition is actively supporting in whatever capacity necessary.
	If the Ambition ~~deems it~~ necessary to fight against another faction, often in the process of aiding another faction, that faction will be labelled as an opposing faction. In this case, deals and offers are naturally rejected most of the time, but the faction will return to regular status and may end up as a supported faction in the future again.

	===~~= Open =~~===		*Opposing faction: Factions the Ambition considers detrimental to its current projects
	The regular status the Ambition is in~~, whenever we are not actively involved with other factions, expanding and developing our own ranks and waiting for opportunities to take action. During these times, we are most~~ open to ~~any deals and activities.~~		=== The Ambitions diplomatic statuses ===
			*Open: The regular status the Ambition is in where it is open to anything

	~~====~~ Locked ~~====~~		*Locked: A state where all requests are denied unless they directly support an imminent project.
	Sometimes, the Ambition will lock down. This is usually in an effort to prepare for upcoming events, when the political environment is too obscure to make objective decisions or when the Ambition itself is in a state ~~of emergency. In this case, interaction with third parties is usually rejected~~ unless ~~it supports the immediate cause the Ambition is locked~~.

	~~====~~ In action ~~====~~		*In action: The Ambition is actively partaking in a project. Any requests that don't help this project to progress will be denied
	The Ambition is ~~currently expending its resources and spending time~~ in a ~~particular matter, usually when taking action for a supported faction or against an opposing one~~.
	~~Similar to when the faction is locked, we might reject any offer or request~~ that ~~does not~~ help to progress ~~in the ongoing circumstances, but may seek out these deals in particular at favorable conditions.~~

	On the 9th of July 2019, the ''Symmachian Syndicate'' was founded by members of the current Ambition's Administration. After time, the ''Symmachian Syndicate'' split up into two factions in an effort to find a different approach to leadership: One faction that allows its members to focus on the Syndicate's original ideologies, which resulted in the creation of the Arbiters' Ambition, and the Symmachian Syndicates aspired playstyle, which ended up as the German-only faction Zer0³.

After time, the ''Symmachian Syndicate'' split up into two factions in an effort to find a different approach to leadership: One faction that allows its members to focus on the Syndicate's original ideologies, which resulted in the creation of the Arbiters' Ambition, and another faction that kept the Symmachian Syndicates aspired playstyle, which ended up as the German-only faction Zer0³.
	After the split, months were spent developing a consistent, reliable internal structure that is catered specifically to the needs of the Ambition and ~~provides~~ an efficient organization that can last for years to come. Only after this structure was fully defined and internal infrastructure prepared, the faction went public and started recruitment efforts on the ~~9th~~ of February 2020.

	Each Section is managed by two Tribunes in the same position, called Praetors. Sections are created based on necessity and developed using the merit system, for example when rewarding a Tribune and their unit for a great accomplishment and encouraging them to follow up on that.
	A Section's purpose is to organize players of the faction with similar preferences into overarching groups that cater to a specific playstyle or gameplay elements and put them under seasoned management, connecting the players and their activities to fit the demand of other players and their tasks in the faction.
