There is a possibility the Bolitic Confederacy could be moving towards splitting up following a meeting held by Baron Erinthorn and 7 other House heads who are based away from Castarian, mostly on Relia Magnus. Erinthorn and his fellow Barons said they were not interested in the civil war raging on the capital planet. More importantly they signed a treaty known as the Treaty Of Smolask (as that is where the summit was held) which states the 8 Houses plus 27 smaller satellite Houses will no longer be bound by Castarian law but instead will form their own law which "better suits our location on the edge of the empire".
Erinthorn and the others stopped short of saying they were leaving the Bolitic however as this would be difficult at present, for one virtually no ship-building or major armaments production facilities are on their worlds though Erinthorn said a new Meltinan production line would be established soon.
Our Dino correspondent Dralson says "This is an unprecendented move and really indicative of the major changes that have taken place in the Bolitic Confederacy over the last few years. Depending on how the civil war pans out and who comes out on top (and that seems to be a long way from being resolved) then i think we could genuinely see a breakaway region by the end of the year."
