More mindless prancing by the Tiidan. (Exhales as though speaking of an annoying child)

It seems clear they are incapable of being honest even when everyone is laughing at their stupidity. The Imperium request the Grand Alliance reassemble so we can speak to the matter of the Tiidan's withdraw from the treaty. The coming conflict the Tiidan no doubt bring with them will again be a bloody matter of which the effects can not be ignored. All in favor please confirm on approved channels.

With the full activation of the Taiiden Fleet Starfleet is pushing up the date of a fleet exercise in the area. As a result, the border will be closed and all civilian vessels will need to be redirected for security purposes. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Additionally We wish to make it known that the Federation is laying claim to systems 358 and 359.

*Wide band broadcast from system 373*

We wish to announce the commencement of a diplomatic conference and public ceremony between the Breen Confederacy and the Cardassian Union. During the recent conflict with the Taiidan Directorate, events transpired that both of our people regret. The nature of the conflict was fast-moving and incredibly violent, and miscommunication resulted in a great civilian massacre, as well as the worst friendly-fire incident in recent memory.

The purpose of this conference is to bring closure to the families and clanmates of the 500,000 Breen warriors killed in the Dreadnought strikes, as well as to promote peace and cooperation between the Breen Confederacy and Cardassian Union.

Now, the leader of the Breen people, Supreme Thot Tsukiyumi the Wise, would like to say a few words.

" Mistakes are made in war. This is inevitable. I share the outrage and anger of my clansmen over the reckless attacks made by the former Cardassian government, but we cannot allow grief and revenge to drive us into our own mistakes. I see a prosperous and peaceful future between our two great races, and as in the past, we must put aside our grievances to work toward better understanding and cooperation. The new Cardassian leadership shares my vision of the future, and also has a statement to make. I cede the podium to them."

The Taiidan Directorate claims systems 360 through 364.

In order to avoid further misunderstandings the Directorate began making payments to the Klingon Empire last year and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

We assume the Tiidan are referring to the payment of ONE credit.

That will constitute receipt of the payment.

:::incoming transmission:::

This is the first official broadcast from the new government of the Republic of the Cardassian Union. We have endured a time of great strife, which we are working dilligently to overcome. We have, however, laid the foundation of a strong new government, run by the a duly elected senate in support of the Centrel Command.

We ask our neighbors to be patient as we bring our governemt up to speed.

Any immediate pressing issues may be directed to this office.

We must set up several meetings in the near future. We will be in contact.

First, the entire Council of Legates wishes to formally apologize to our Breen neighbors. As professional soldiers we find losses incured to friendly fire detestful to say the least, and ask forgivness from the Breen government and the clanmates of her fallen warriors.

It would seem changes in Government have become an all to common detail in this region of space. We shall pray to the God-Emperor that it is for the better.

The High Republic knows all to well the struggles and problems of regime change, and the restructuring that can take place. It is a time of upheaval, of strife and of difficulty for any power. As such, we wish to offer the Cardassian Union a solution to its apparent antimatter problems. The Turei currently produce an order of magnitude more antimatter than is entirely necessary and we will offer it to the Union for a discounted price at their time of strife.

If any other issues befall the Union, we give our support to their recovery.

If more than what the Turei are offering is necessary the Sheliak too make much more than we currently require and would be happy to offer it at a lower rate than usual. We hope the new Cardassian government well.

At this time, the Imperium wishes to announce that it has begun a large colonization project. The concerned parties have been notified and new border maps delivered. Further information will be delivered to the public at large at the start of the new year.

Following recent colonization increases, the Turei High Republic has expanded its own colonial claims policy and are laying claim to a number of systems to the north of our current territorial borders. The High Council will be publishing a map of the current claims soon.
