The '''Pact of Necessary Venture''' is one of the two ruling factions of the [[Divine Principality]]. They are neoliberals who intend to break up the Stels, in contrast to their rivals, the monarchic and traditional [[The Curtain|Curtain]].  

The Pact is mainly made up of Stels [[Stel Columnar|Columnar]] and [[Stel Apostolos|Apostolos]], though it was founded by a group of Elects and Divines from each Stel. By the ''[[Road to PALISADE]]'', only two of their founders remain: [[Gallica]], elect of the divine [[Present]], and [[Rye]], elect of the divine [[Space]]; they have been taken over by [[Dahlia]], the Apokine and Glorious Princept. 

==History==
Though they trace their lineage back to an exploratory committee founded in the late 14th century of the [[Divine Principality#Perfect Millennium|Perfect Millenium]], the Pact was not made in earnest until five years before the start of ''[[PARTIZAN]]'': 1418 PM, soon after hostilities began between [[Stel Kesh|Kesh]] and [[Stel Apostolos|Apostolos]]. 

Its original leadership committee, [[Plumeria]], Gallica, [[Myosotis]], Rye, and [[Hyacinth]] (actually [[Motion]]) determined that the Pact would establish a power base in the [[Scutum-Centaurus Arm|Scutum–Centaurus arm]] and amass a vast fleet using the unexploited resources there in order to remove the princepts and establish themselves as a council in their place. This avaricious pact went directly against the secret oath made by the [[Peaceful Princept]] and supported by the might of the Curtain of Divinity: that the Principality would not expand into the Scutum-Centaurus arm lest they be destroyed by the [[True Divine]].

When the Pact attempted incursions into the Scutum-Centaurus arm, their fleets were defeated by the might of the True Divine. While the remaining leadership focused on their increasingly public conflict with the Curtain, Motion decided to harness the True Divine's power. This culminated in [[PARTIZAN 45: Operation Shackled Sun: Act 1: The Fray|Operation Shackled Sun]]. In the aftermath, with only two of the original signatories remaining, the Pact is absorbed into Dahlia's power structure and eventually rebranded as the [[Pact of Free States]].

==Appearance==
Pact agents are described as wearing black masks decorated with five LED lights in a “unfinished” pentagon constellation, like a five point arrow.<ref>[[PARTIZAN 43: The Tunnels Beneath]]</ref>
