These rules represent the standards that define us as members of Brave. Those who have an interest in law may recognize the phrase Malum in se ; Wrong in itself.

(§1) Stay Classy


"The model BNI pilot is a fearless, bloodthirsty savage in ship combat and a perfect gentleman in the chat window." — Matias Otero

Our first and most important rule, Stay Classy defines our conduct as members of Brave. You can learn more about what that means in the fine print below.

(§4) Market Policies


Brave and The Imperium strictly prohibit buying with the intent to relist at a profit either in our space or outside of it; this practice is known as Blue-Fucking.

Supercapitals may only be sold within The Imperium and in accordance with the Imperium Supercapital Sales Policy.

Capitals may not be sold to neutrals or hostiles in or near Imperium Space, may not be sold in Amarrian Lowsec space, and may not be sold via public contracts in these areas.

Please do not loot or salvage on a grid where a fight is actively ongoing.

These rules exist so that the alliance can continue to run smoothly and efficiently. Those who have an interest in law may recognize the phrase Malum prohibitum ; Wrong as prohibited.

(§7) PvE Policies


All systems with a TCU owned by an Imperium member are open for PvE. Moons are regulated by the system's TCU holder, and should NOT be assumed to be public.

Capital pilots must join the Imperium Beehive SIG to engage in PvE under the Delve Supercapital Umbrella.

All exploration sites must be completed or failed once started so they may respawn. Failing to do this is known as Cherrypicking.

You may not access Main or Reserve Banks belonging to Brave or any blue alliance.
