Le traité concerne toutes les races du conseil, soit les Asari, les Turiens, les Humains et les Galariens (Soit les seules races qui peuvent en produire activement). Les humains et les turiens sont les principaux producteurs de cuirassé et ce n'est pas le nombre de vaisseau en service qui est restreint, mais la vitesse de leur production. La citation :
Treaty of Farixen
Due to the destructive potential of dreadnoughts, the Council races agreed at the Farixen Naval Conference to fix a ratio of dreadnought construction between themselves.
At the top of pyramid is the peacekeeping turian fleet. Below the turians are the other Council races, currently the asari and the salarians. Council associate races are at the bottom.
The human Systems Alliance is part of this last group.
The ratio of turian to Council to associate dreadnoughts is 5:3:1, for every dreadnought the humans are permitted to build, the asari have three, and the turians five.
