The war has cost the Starbotians most of their army but now the new leader K-2 has agreed a peace deal with the rebel VC faction. They will be granted autonomy over their province on Starbot though will be left in isolation. Despite the fact the VC had Argon help to kill thousands of Starbotian soldiers there is almost zero appetite to continue the conflict and the peace deal was greeted with relief by the Starbotians.
K-2 said however that the VC would not be allowed to spread outside of their territory, saying that if they wanted isolation they had it. Of course at the moment there is little Starbot could do to prevent the VC trespassing but the VC themselves seem content to stay where they are.
K-2 also announced that K-1, a former deputy of S101 and one of his oldest friends, will be the new defence chief. K-1 said the priority was to rebuild the army and complete the separation from the DDS. Oil Stop Boss has been named the Interior Minister. S101 is said to be not angry at his friends joining his rival saying that he did not expect them to sacrifice their careers for him. B-B has joined S101 in retirement.
