The Pact of Necessary Venture is one of the two ruling factions of the Divine Principality. They are neoliberals who intend to break the Stels into a collection of free states, in contrast to their rivals, the monarchic and traditional Curtain. Only two of their founders remain: Gallica, elect of the divine Present, and Rye, elect of the divine Space. They are led 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 Perfect Millenium, the Pact was not made in earnest until five years before the start of PARTIZAN: 1418 PM, soon after hostilities began between Kesh and Apostolos.
Its original leadership committee, Plumeria, Gallica, Myosotis, Rye, and Hyacinth determined that the Pact would establish a power base in the 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.
