Delian League
The Delian League (DL) is a charter-based intergovernmental organization that promotes peace, security and trade between several nations in Nova and Greater Dienstad that share a commitment to liberal economic and social values and the international order based on common rules and cooperation. It is named after its place of founding, the island of Delos in the Delosian Sea, in honour of the historic alliance of the same name and place of founding from antiquity. The League's charter obligates its members to resolve all international disputes through diplomatic means, and only allows the League to take collective military action in cases where the majority agrees there is proper casus belli and strictly for self-defence and defending others deemed subject to unprovoked aggression. Such action is taken on a mandate based on the international instrument of the Dagora Doctrine or Protocol on Territorial Sovereignty and Independent Self Governance co-authored by Yafor 2 and Etoile Arcture and ratified in July 2009 that established the multi-lateral defence framework of collective regional security in Nova. Member states make voluntary military contributions to joint operations by the League with a delta (Δ) marking on deployed assets to indicate this affiliation.
The League was originally conceived and established in March 2008 by President Liviu Librescu, Honorary Prince of the Five Cities (
The Principality of Damirez) to fill the vacuum left by the collapse of the Atrean Imperium in western Nova and counterbalance to the hegemonic power of the Oceanic Empire in eastern Nova. It serves a similar purpose to the now defunct Fegosian Union founded in June 2008 by President Al'iro Da'rel ( The People's Nation of Alfegos), to promote regional stability, economic development and joint efforts among its members. The League and Union would recruit members within Nova and Greater Dienstad and famously allied and with other nations and alliances outside the region including the Fedela Accords and Oceanic Defense Coalition during campaigns of the 2009 Blackhelm War and 2010 Corporate Alliance War. In recent years the League has focused on interoperability, intelligence sharing and technological collaboration including developing the Delian League Common Data Link (CDL) secure communications protocol. The largest single program of record is the League Joint Fighter (LJF) program initiated by Damirez in 2010, that since 2012 has been adopted by several navies and air forces and built by several member states. The League Joint Fighter Consortium was established to produce the aircraft and presently manages four projects:
League Joint Fighter Project 1 (LJF-1 Vārtej - Atrean for "whirlpool") based on the Aerodyne F-40A Whirlwind;
League Joint Attack Fighter Project 2 (LJFA-2 Strajă - Atrean for "sentry") based on the Aerodyne F/A-38A/B Sentinel;
League Joint Fighter Project 3 (LJF-3 Ciclon - Atrean for "cyclone") based on the Aerodyne F-60A Cyclone
League Joint Electronic Attack Project 4 (LJEA-4 Tālhar - Atrean for "plunderer") based on the Aerodyne E-24A Marauder.
Damirez withdrew from active involvement with the League in 2015 but it has continued under the joint leadership of its remaining active signatory members which since 2020 has counted the following: President Molly DeLéan (
The Fortress State of Animarnia), President Andrew Stinson (
The Corgi-Hawk Hybrid of Lamoni), the Coregency between Their Holy Imperial Majesties Charles IX and Elizabeth VI Petrović ( The Imperial Federation of Monavia), President Alastair Riothamus (
The United Republics of Sulaymaan), King Rand en Karluth (
The Empire of Korrodos), Secretary-General of the General Secretariat Dr. Soledad Martin (
The Unitary Technocracy of Etoile Arcture).
