DMZ lifted as deal with Utrek signed

Lengthy peace talks with the Utrek have been concluded and Deputy Commander Firefly yesterday signed a peace deal with the Utrek. The DMZ has now been officially lifted (though restrictions had gradually been relaxed over the last few months).

As part of the deal the Utrek have now handed over a total of 17 Kalahati Tuuls along with some spare parts. The DDS aim to give 12 to their allies, 5 have already been allocated to the Aritans, with the rest kept in storage for spare parts. The Utrek have also given 2.5 billion zarks to the Remedians for reconstruction purposes and will give the DDS 10% of all proceeds from the mineral wealth on DMZ planets. A regular briefing on the Mantae will also be given to the DDS.

The peace deal will mean that the DDS can reduce their forces along the DMZ border though strong forces will remain in Remedian space from both the DDS and Dinos.
