Treaty of Farixen

The Treaty of Farixen is a treaty limiting the number of Dreadnoughts among the different Citadel races. The Council races agree at the Farixen Naval Conference to fix a ratio of dreadnought construction between themselves due to their destructive potential. The ratio is set up like a pyramid and at the top is the peacekeeping turian fleet, below the turians are the other Council races which is 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 which basically means for every dreadnought the humans are permitted to build, the asari have three, and the turians five.
