New Universe is a rpg server, wich means... every player represents a certain role within his/her character ingame.
Each clan has to decide, what main roleplaying their tag is referring to. Upon that decision certain roleplay tags will be prohibited for that clan. i.e. members of a pirate clan [X] are not allowed to use a [P] police tag on any of their clan characters.
General Roleplay (RP) Rules:
It is not allowed to attack any other players out of the blue.
Attacking other players always has to be associated within a roleplay action.
I.e. pirates taxing other players. The pirate has to announce the tax first and give responding time to the opponent. The counterpart now has several options. Either he acknowledges he`s willing to pay, he opens fire, or he can try to escape. The pirate has to carefuly observe his counterparts reaction and prepares his action accordingly.
This case is transferable to any other roplay situations. i.e. a police officer is charging a pirate, merc, smuggler etc. for punishment. In that case the misdemeanant is allowed to act accordingly, like the taxed player in the example above.
If a player is beeing killed, taxed, punished in roleplay action, he is allowed of “immediate revenge” to that action. Taking revenge after several hours or days for an action that has passed already, is not allowed. The point is, if a kill has been executed by a merc, bountyhunter, policeman or pirate the former victim has the chance to become the offender for the next action and vice versa. The immediate reaction is important and can be continued as long as both parties agree.
Allowed tags within the RPG on NU:
Freelancer
Anyone without a RPG tag in its name is classified as Freelancer.
Freelancers are the only passive RPG players, they have no RPG right, but they can be forced into RPG actions from a active RPG faction like pirats if they get taxed.
[P] Police
A police tagged character is allowed to fine any delinquent pilots like pirates, privateers, mercenaries and bountyhunters.
Assuming that pirates and privateers are “Wanted Thugs”, they can be fined at all times.
Finig bountyhunters and mercenaries requires valid evidence (i.e. Screenshots) in order to charge them for a criminal act, like killing non criminals for a bounty. The police will review the evidence to clearify it as proofed or non valid. Proofed crimes can be charged just once per action. Once the fine has been compensated, the pilot cannot be charged for that same action again.
Minimum fine = 2 million credits. Maximum fine = 15 million credits.
The police will compile criminal files for recidivists.
Police tagged players are allowed to engage any pirates and privateers without prior warning, since they naturally expect getting attacked themselves.

-a clan with ownership of a system and/or station is allowed to maintain a set of rules fort that particular system/station visible for all on their NU-clanboard, if they dont, rules fort hat system/station will not be allowed to be enforced. Period! (see also § 5).
§2: Clan-Wars:
In general each clan can declare war to any other clan if it is reasonable
In a state of war all the valid RPG rules will be dispensed as long as the war lasts and all Members fight how they see fit. But we still recommend our codex of honor, that the war is declared within RPG and not carried out because of personal grieves between any players.
Declaration of war:
- only clan leaders are officially allowed to declare war on other clans!
- Declarations of war must be postet in the clanboards open section on NU-Forums!
- Declarations of war must be announced 48 hrs before the martial state of war will be active and the war begins.
- each clan can actively only be initiator of 2 wars at the same time. Wich means 1 clan can only declare war, beeing the agressor against 2 clans at the same time.
Defending your or your allies home system against an agressor is not beeing considered as a war declaration from your side.
3: Reputationlist:
Every clan has to maintain an up-to-date list of reputations with all other clans on their open section of their NU-Forum clan-board.
Examples of all diplomatic relations and a decriptions
Mutual Alliance (MA):
A „mutual alliance“ is beeing formed between 2 clans.
A contact of “agreed conditions” of an MA has to be announced and archived on the internal sections of both clans. (NU-Forum)
Both sides agree to help and defend each other whenever necessary.
Clans in an agreed Alliance never kill each other, expect in agreed pvp action!
If a clan gets into a situation, where two of his allies declare war on each other, the clan has two choices. Either they have to try to arbitrate in the dispute and shall not interfere in the action, or they need to break the Alliance with one of the clans and /or pay a contractual penalty.
The exact terms will be part of the negotiations of the “agreed conditions” in the MA contact.
Defense Pact (DP):
A defense pact is beeing formed between 2 clans.
A contract of “agreed conditions” of a DP has to be announced and archived on the internal sections of both clans. (NU-Forum)
Both sides agree to help defending each others homesystem whenever necessary.
In addition, both clans can also agree to help each other in any battle action
The exact terms will be part of the negotiations of the “agreed conditions” in the DP contract.
Non Agression Pact (NAP):
A „none agression pact“ is beeing formed between 2 clans.
A contract of “agreed conditions” of an NAP has to be announced and archived on the internal sections of both clans. (NU-Forum)
Both sides agree to not attack each other no matter what. Exception, a cogent RP action has occured.
The exact terms will be part of the negotiations of the “agreed conditions” in the NAP contract.
Neutral:
Here you find all the clans you have no spezial relations with, so they become neutral.
Armistice (A):
An armistice is a situation in a war where the warring parties agree to stop fighting. It is not necessarily the end of a war, but may be just a cessation of hostilities while an attempt is made to negotiate a lasting peace. The key aspect in an armistice is the fact that "all fighting ends with no one surrendering". To break an armistice both parties need to have a good reason.
Cease fire (CF):
A „cease fire“ is beeing formed between 2 clans.
A contract of “agreed conditions” of an CF has to be announced and archived on the internal sections of both clans. (NU-Forum)
A ceasefire is a very tense situation where battle action can start again on the slightest pretence.
The exact terms will be part of the negotiations of the “agreed conditions” in the CF contract.
War (WAR!!!):
Every clan can act as an agressor only in 2 wars at the same time. Wich means only 2 war declarations can be announced at the same time.
But a clan can theoretically be involved in more than 2 wars, since other clans can also declare war on them.
A reputationlist or list of diplomacy of a new clan who just received its clanboard most likely will look like this:
Mutual Alliance (MA):
/
Defense Pact (DP):
/
Non Agression Pact (NAP):
/
Neutral:
/ Clans not listed elsewhere
Armistice (A):
/
Cease fire (CF):
/
War (WAR!!!):
