D4 Treaty, or simply called The Treaty was an agreement signed between the major factions in 2013, preceeding the events of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl.

Background

Following the events of Call of Pripyat, there was a need to make peace between the warring factions of the Zone, presumably in preperations for Operation Zenith to the Generators.

The following is a report about the outcome of the treaty. While the author and recipient are redacted, it is assumed that the report was sent to the Regulatory Board by Dr. Dalin.

Memo

Released as part of the 2021 ARG

Thanks to the consistent and strict adherence to the strategy created by our efforts, as well as the noteworthy professionalism of Colonel Korshunov, we were able to conclude the long-awaited D4 treaty. Under our patronage, a truce was concluded between the two most dangerous and numerous factions, Duty and Freedom. Moreover, a group of followers of the so-called Strider is now ready to assist our mission and has been reorganized into the "Noon" faction, aimed at operations to clean up particularly dangerous and contaminated areas. Guaranteeing their loyalty and subordination would be irresponsible on our part, but in the short term we have reached an agreement in the common interest.

I propose that we set a date for a face-to-face meeting to discuss our next steps regarding newfound "allies", namely:

1. Supply chain logistics
2. Assignment of responsibility for control and collection of data
3. Planning of operation Zenith
4. Recruitment of field agents from among the illegals
5. Personnel changes in Ward structure

The treaty led to Duty being forced to transfer Rostok to Freedom. Both factions were barred from fighting each other directly, so they begun a proxy war by supplying allied bandit gangs in Garbage, one led by Roosevelt, the other by Shah. Over the years, Duty's strength and influence waned, while Freedom set up a highly successful trading hub in Rostok.

Trivia

• Sometime between Call of Pripyat and Heart of Chornobyl, the Freedom leadership changed hands from Lukash to Myklukha. Therefore it is uncertain who signed the treaty.
• Cut sidequests included a story about the treaty being broken and Skif being able to support either Duty or Freedom.
