Well, I've made a plan for that: we would send you 1 Mao class battleship, 4 battlecruisers, and 30 cruisers (or possibly more or less ships depending on your wishes), while you would send the PIR a number of ships roughly equal, especially in terms of firepower and speed.
The ships would remain under the command of their respective navy headquaters but coordinate all their activities with the other power.
Now in times of war, a quick response is important, and in therefore, one power could transfer the command over their ships to the other power.
For example, if the Asgard are campaigning against a third party, the PIR would transfer command of the PIR vessels to the Asgard Empire.
That way we could reduce the reaction time of the alliance.

Re: Basing Treaties
I'm afraid I must decline such a treaty. While I have no objection basing agreement I am uncomfortable with the automatic transfer of ships. I hope you understand it doesn't stem from any distrust of you. I would be willing to arrange such joint operations in times of war but not under such blanket terms. I'm sorry I must decline the treat as proposed.
