| Your Excellency,
May I be the first to bring you news that there has been a treaty to end the conflict between Lorrd and the Auril Union (text below), and once more peace reigns in the Empire's domain (between Lorrd and the Auril Union).
The Treaty grants the Imperial Treasury 1,000,000,000 Imperial Credits over five years; we hope this will render a suitable compensation for the uncertainty the conflict may have caused among Imperial Officials who must have been concerned over a cut in productivity.
We're demobbing military forces intended for the chastisement of Lorrd.
Yours Sincerely,
_______________
Auril Union Lorrd Treaty for the Preservation of Peace and ending of Blood Feud
All clauses, stipulations and factors present apply to the worlds under the control and influence of both Lorrd and the Auril Union, who will ensure and guarantee their enforcement and that their citizens abide by them.
Mutual Agreements
1. The maintaining of a secure communications frequency between Lorrd and the Auril Union in order to facilitate dialogue in future. At the expense of the Auril Union.
2. Each party commits to donating ten million credits annually to the Tionese Orphans Fund.
3. Each party forges the other a ceremonial blade which shall be adorned with the blood of the leaders of both parties and exchanged to solemnize the end of the Blood Feud (blood is not required on the blade presented by Lorrd).
4. Both parties will provide a confidential list to the other of whom funded their war effort (although amounts may be left confidential).
5. Slavery is an abomination to all men, Tionese and Lorrdian alike, and both the Auril Union and the Government of Lorrd agree to do all that is possible to prevent the deplorable traffic in slaves, and to return slaves of either extraction to their home world or sector if they come upon them; so long as they are not legally enslaved as per Imperial law.
6. Both parties will share data on sightings of pirates, slavers or rebels.
7. Both parties agree that their ships shall (if within their power) take every measure possible that does not endanger their own safety to rescue distressed ships of either party.
8. Both parties allow the free movement of diplomatic, civilian and humanitarian ships within their space, regardless of party; unless there is a compelling reason to decline such access. The Auril Union and its worlds will not solicit order or encourage ships of any variety to move to or around the restricted zone on Lorrd II.
Auril Commitments
(Primarily from the Auril Union - although both parties remain bound by all terms)
1. Peace and Cordiality are declared perpetually between the parties, the Lorrdian Government is recognized as representing it's world.
2. A washing away of the blood feud by the Auril Union.
3. The unconditional withdrawal of all Auril Union and affiliated forces (referring to Auril Union affiliates) from the Kanz Sector back to their own Sector, Lorrd guarantees it or its citizens will neither solicit nor conspire in further military action.
4. The mothballing or sale of Auril and Lorrdian ships designed or procured for the carriage of land troops.
5. The people of the Auril Sector solemnly swear that they will not move any military or paramilitary vessel within one Parsec of the Kanz Sector without the permission of the Kanz Sector Moff for the next year.
6. The Auril Sector will pay a moderate sum for a monument on Lorrd to commemorate the heroism of those who died in the War.
Requirements from Lorrd
1. Payment to the Auril Union of Five Billion Imperial Credits in Wergild and expenses rendered, this is to be paid in annual installments for the next twelve years through the Imperial Taxation Bureau, who will ensure that they receive a 20% cut in exchange for enforcing the debt and convey the remaining 80% to the Auril Union. (This would make one billion credits due annually for twelve years, a sum which could hardly be said to "stagger" the Lorrdian economy - the estimated price of keeping a fleet at war for two months, I might add, is close to this).
2. The guarantee that the states on Lorrd which have entered separate negotiations for peace with us (Lord Bowe's Frezen Province and Lord Stark's Kinyov Province) shall not be penalized for seeking the path of peace.
3. Lorrd must disarm it's present fleet to pre-war levels (numerical, capital ships and fighters) for three standard months, after which it may expand it's fleet numbers as it wishes. In the event of an emergency it may mobilize for ces once more for the duration of the emergency.
4. Those of Tionese Blood, of any religion, who wish to leave Lorrd or Lorrd II will be transported (securely in the case of dissidents) to Auril space within a month of signing. Pending the approval of the Moff of the Kanz Sector and with our assurance that we will continue to detain and re-educate Vianists until they are cured.
5. Lorrd donates a moderate sum to erect a memorial on Nespis VIII to comemorate the heroism of those who died in the War.
(Signed by Diplomatic Legate Hue of the Auril Union, on behalf of the Auril Union, it's members and affiliates)
(Signed by Representative Roman Lekpin of Lorrd, on behalf of the Lorrdian Government.)

| Commodore Cynum,
This news pleases me, though it should be disclaimed that particular articles of this agreement may or may not be honored by the Empire as the need to do so, or not do so, presents itself. It is fortunate though, not the least of all for the Auril Union, that the terms of this agreement are as generous to the Empire as they are. The Council is reliably informed that the payment scheme in this agreement was proposed by your delegation: the Council is appreciative of this, it is indeed suitable recompense (along with the indemnity paid to Moff Winder for the regrettable loss of Imperial personnel). The Auril Union's restraint throughout this affair is the toast of His Majesty's court this evening.
Gone are the days when the Tionese fruitlessly warred with their long lost brothers in the Core Worlds. On this day at least, let no man say that the Tionese wage war frivolously.
Regards,
Sate Pestage
Grand Vizier of the Empire
Assistant to Emperor Palpatine
Chair of the Imperial Senate
