The '''Conference for Amity and Cooperation''', or '''CAC''', is an international organization consisting of [[Älemsi Negdel]], [[Casilló y RéalAntora]], [[Cryria]], the [[Kelamí League]], [[Mexregiona]], and the [[Varentine League]]. The group incorporates a wide variety of cooperative agreements and endeavors in the economic, scientific, intelligence, and military fields. The CAC is considered a sub-organization of the [[League of Novaris]].

The Global Biological Archive is a secure facility intended to house the world's crop diversity in order to protect the world's food supply in the event that natural disaster or mismanagement otherwise leads to the loss of particular species. This concept dates back to the height of the Novaran Cold War, when it was feared that a general nuclear exchange could result in severe short- and medium-turnterm environmental changes which, alongside the destruction of conventional genebanks, would drive some crop species to extinction.

All information donated to the Archive undergoes an initial digital backup, and in the case of physical records are copied onto microfilm for ease of storage. The Archive intends for additional updates and backups of stored information to happen at least once every five years. Current deposits include copies of the First and Second Corric Constitutions, transcriptions of several hundred tablets from pre-First Kingdom Mexregiona, over 2,700 hours of music, and portions of the Urth-wide Utility network.

The Cooperative Warship Development Program is the CAC's longest-running military hardware initiative. It was conceived in 1998 as a research & development agreement to create a low-cost, adaptable, and modern vessel for defense and patrol. Special attention was paid to the operational independence of the design, as well as the ability to be used as an icebreaker in the cold Rotantic Ocean. Each CAC nation contributed areas of expertise: Corric gunnery, tactical, and propulsion systems, Cryrian Skeldar V-200 reconaissancereconnaissance drones, Mexregionan radar systems, countermeasures, and raw materials, Kela'mué electronics and climate controls, AND OTHER COUNTRIES ADDED THINGS LATER. The Program was an independent organization from the CAC governments and militaries, using privately-owned facilities and resources. They cooperated with the various private shipbuilding companies in CAC territory to facilitate testing. Trials for prospective designs took place mostly in the Pacific and Rotantic oceans. After fifteen years of design, manufacturing, and testing, the Program was declared a success in 2013. In honor of completing the first defense collaboration in CAC history, the designers chose to christen the final design the ''Amity'' class offshore patrol vessel.

''Amity'' class ships are large for patrol craft, owning to being designed as multirole, long-range warships capable of adapting to evolving defense requirements. At 90 meters long and grossing over 2,200 tonnes, the class rivals some CAC frigates in size. Their twin gas-turbine/diesel hybrid engines can sustain a cruising speed of 15 knots for 6,000 nautical miles, with a top speed of 28 knots. The ''Amity'' class can be used as a territorial and trade patrol vessel with its 21-day endurance rating or as a pursuit or response vessel thanks to itstheir high speed. They are armed with a 76 mm cannon and two 30 mm autocannons and are fitted {{wp|for but not with}} missile launchers, depth charges, and torpedos.

The most important ability the class possesses is to act as an icebreaking ship. Patrol of the seas around Älemsi Negdel and Mexregiona is made difficult by winter ice sheets, so a military vessel capable of operating in these conditions has been a point of major interest for many years. The ''Amity'' hull was designed according to the h-v-curve to allow broken ice to submerge under and around the vessel without compromising seakeeping or stability. The bow is stiff and wide below the waterline, while the sides are platedreinforced with frame bracing and armor plating for structural integrity. To avoid limiting the seakeeping or speed of the class, the designers created a modular bow intended specifically for icebreaking. This armored bow, much wider and smoother than a traditional warships', can be attached in drydock with half a day's work. This has allowed the ''Amity'' class to operate in normal water conditions in summer and ice in the winter, greatly improving cost-effectiveness and staying power.
