The DDS have agreed to talks with the Utrek about the future of the DMZ and terms for a lasting peace. Firefly is traveling to meet a representative from the Utrek High Command on the Remedian planet of Mila. As the Utrek promised 5 Kalahati Tuuls have been delivered to the DDS at Loeuss, the ships are a little worn but serviceable. It is thought the ships will be given to the New Aritans following a refit and localisation.
In return, as a gesture of good will, the DDS have relaxed slightly the restrictions on Utrek military operations in the DMZ and the Utrek will be permitted 1 military ship per month to visit each planet in the DMZ. Its not known what the final terms of the DDS will be but it is likely to be a lasting peace treaty, a share in mineral wealth from the DMZ planets, more Kalahati Tuuls and intelligence on the Mantae. Analysts believe the Utrek will find these terms acceptable in return for the lifting of the DMZ with the only haggling being over the DDS percentage.
