                                Command : CEDE

 SYNTAX:
   [##:##] Command: cede <SECTORS|SHIPS> <COUNTRY>

This command gives a sector or sectors to the country of  your  choice,  or  a
ship  or ships.  A sector to be ceded must have mobility, and must be adjacent
to a sector with mobility owned by the country you are cedeing it to, OR  con-
tain a ship owned by the country you are cedeing it to.

A ship to be ceded must either be in a sector owned by the recipient, or in  a
sector containing a ship owned by the recipient.

All contents of the sector become the property of the new owner, such as  com-
modities, planes, land units, etc. Ships, however, do NOT change ownership.

All contents of a ceded ship become the property of the new  owner,  including
planes or land units. Distribution & delivery info of ceded sectors are wiped.

                                Command : CEDE

The ceded sector has its mobility set to zero. If the owner of the sector  was
not  the old owner when he ceded it, the old owner is not changed.  The mobil-
ity of a ceded ship is not changed.
