I. PREAMBLE

We, the people of Enmaten, both of the commonfolk and the hireling, declare the foundation of a sovereign nation forged not by birthright, bloodline, or broken treaties—but by skill, strength, and the universal contract of honor and blood. We are not mere mercenaries, soldiers-for-hire, assassins, hunters, but warriors of principle who choose coin and cause. This is our manifesto, our oath, our declaration to all.

II. WHO WE ARE

We are the disillusioned veterans of forgotten wars.
We are the exiled, the discarded, the betrayed.
We are the professionals of conflict, wielding arms and cunning not for chaos, but for calculated order.
We are bound not by nationalism, but by a code of honor.

III. OUR CODE

• Contract is Law: A contract is sacred. Our word, once written, is immutable. We fight for credit, but never at the cost of our code.
• Neutral in Judgment, Ruthless in Execution: We do not choose sides by sentiment. We choose based on clarity of terms and fulfillment of duty.
• No War Without Worth: We do not fight for free, nor for folly. War must have purpose, and that purpose must be paid.
• Honor Among Arms: Cowardice, betrayal, and cruelty without cause will not be tolerated within our ranks.
• Freedom is Earned: All who join us may rise—regardless of origin, race, gender, or creed. Merit alone determines command.

IV. OUR NATION

• We claim territory only when it can be held and defended, not as overlords, but as stewards of disciplined force.
• Our cities are built on discipline, trade, and martial excellence.
• All citizens are combatants; all are contributors to the war economy.

V. OUR COMMERCE

War is our industry.
We trade in tactics, intelligence, security, and deterrence.
We offer services to states, corporations, and peoples—provided their cause is clear and their coin strong.
We are not thugs. We are strategists, diplomats, engineers of outcome.

VI. FOREIGN POLICY

We seek to conquer no empire.
We honor neutrality until contracted.
We defend our own and retaliate without mercy.
We do not provoke, but we do not accept defeat.

VII. TO THE PEOPLE OF THE STARS

Do not fear us—understand us.
We are the balance to chaos, the blade that defends when the shield fails.
When your allies falter and your enemies close in, we will be there—if you have the means to summon us.

VIII. TO OUR OWN

You are not conscripts. You are not pawns.
You are the mighty people of Enmaten.
Together, we are a nation born not of bloodlines, but of battle.

Let the worlds remember:

We serve none. We stand as one.
If you cross one, you cross all.

Protection of Clients

All clients under contract are considered under the temporary protection of Enmaten and are to be treated as allies for the duration.
