The''' Vitrauze Agreement''' was named after the system where the wormhole was found that led to a system where the first [[Sleepers (lore)|Sleeper]] [[Enclaves|Enclave]] was found. Signed by [[CONCORD]] and the four [[Empire Factions|empires]], this agreement sets out the terms by which Sleeper salvage is to be dealt with, traded and sold, including but not limited to quarantine periods and comprehensive safety testing. 


==Excerpt - Article 8, Section E== 
CONCORD subsidization in the acquisition of scientifically valuable by-products. Although preliminary, through the spirit of peace and co-operation that affirms this treaty, each of the four member nations have exchanged sufficient information to identify four key salvageable materials of scientific interest. Seeking to both minimize their impact on [[capsuleer]] economic development and to allow more time for proper investigation into the impact of all unknown materials, the member nations have agreed to focus on four lower tier by-products identified during initial excavations of unknown space. 

Clause 1) The four member nations of the treaty have each agreed that the preliminary findings, and any agreements based thereupon, on each of the four units is strictly provisional. Current scientific opinion broadly agrees that these items are of little material value. However, any reassessment undertaken by any of the member nations that is deemed to invalidate this initial finding may be deferred to. 

Clause 2) CONCORD, in operation with the [[Secure Commerce Commission|SCC]], has agreed to facilitate and subsidize the acquisition of these items through capsuleer markets at a standard price agreed upon by all of the four member nations.
