The peace offer from the Utrek that arrived out of the blue has yet to be officially answered or even acknowledged by the DDS though sources close to GHQ say that the DDS are delighted by the breakthrough and are seriously considering a treaty with the Utrek. Why? Because the DDS is currently faced with a number of other serious threats. The Bolitic Confederacy look set to attack the DDS at some stage, the Clone Empire is gaining confidence after it's civil wars and unheaval especially with respect to the situation on Oscar, and finally there is the 7 Sa Sao who may be the greatest threat of all.
Privately the DDS will be relieved if they can gain a lasting peace with the Utrek as it will allow them to reduce their forces patrolling the DMZ and Remedian space. Forces which are desperately needed elsewhere. However against that the DDS will be sure to draw up conditions that protect against Utrek betrayal. A reply from the DDS is expected at the weekend.
