NS President Sea Urchin told the NS Poliburo this morning that talks on merging New Sparta with UNP Defence Command are now well advanced. He said that a formal proposal will be presented to the Poliburo soon as well as the UNP Council. Usually Politburo minutes are kept confidential though some details were made public about the merger talks, probably because of the rumours which have sparked a lot of speculation.
Even if both groups vote for the proposal there is still some way to go before a merger can take place. Sea Urchin said that NS and UNPDC are both highly complicated organisations with decades of legacy operational culture. Finding a blend that suits everyone will be an "interesting problem" he said.
