Got this from Sparta:
Greetings, Lords of the Gaian Union:
With Lt Colonel Kassiopeia embarking for a few Planet years on project RL, I have been designated by the Junta to handle all the Spartan Federation's external affairs.
The first order of business is agreeing to a truce.
Although our 2 factions have somewhat of a history of cool relations, our recent "spat" was intended to be short lived in any event, as we needed to clear a passage for our fleet (and also somewhat as retribution for your pacting with our enemies, the Corporation)
And in this context, rest assured that out units healing at the monolith at co-ordinates 61:57 have no ill designs against your base - they are indeed healing after being severly tested in our capture of the Hive's Huddling of the People base. They will board the transport waiting offshore after refreshing themselves and gaining their morale uplifts.
We have high hopes for this Planetary Peace Conference, as we believe that a prolongued period of peace and prosperity will better enable us to cope with the irascible Chairman and his Hive minions. We see that you - like us - have been prudent in signing a truce, but our agents report that he is again in vendetta with the Corporation. It seems our friend needs a target to direct those forces towards.
For our part - given that the Federation is geographically removed from the Gaian Union - we see little gain by our factions' continuing in a state of vendetta. Indeed, with the removeal of sanctions next year, it is in all our interests for harmonious relations to be restored, and the Junta is interested in the Gaian Union position on a possible Treaty of Friendship between our factions. Whether this could lead to a re-opening of our embassies, and eventual mutual technology trading, only time will tell.
Regards,
Colonel Googlie
