The Free Eritran States are understood to have discussed closer integration and maybe even applying to join the United Nations of Planets. Molab is thought to be the keenest to join the UNP and are the economic and military backbone of the FES. Some of the weaker members of the FES are less keen, fearing being sidelined in the UNP.
Its not known if the UNP would welcome the FES joining. There is a sizeable gap between the UNP and FES with even worm drive equipped ships taking over a week to travel from the nearest UNP planet Malau to the core of the FES, and the average transport over 3 weeks.
