Hey there,
Just a heads up I bet people are going to troll this. It happens to micros, don't worry.
I know you all have a treaty, but I do think it would be smart to find a protector somewhere with one of the major alliances to help out. Trust me, it helps and there are probably some alliances that would be willing to protect you if you established good enough relations with them by going to their forums/talking to them on IRC.
Best of luck though
