Emperor Melson has formed the Council of Arbitration to handle disputes between Bolitic houses. In the past houses would go to war on a designated war planet like Smolask. Thousands of slave soldiers would be butchered in endless fighting until one side got bored.
Melson has said these days need to stop, the empire being too depleted to continue the "old ways". He said that the Bolitic was now a second-rate power and would drop further if the blood letting continued. Houses in dispute would have to use the Council of Arbitration or face consequences.
Although many Bolitic dislike it there is little they can do. Since the disastrous ABBO-Bolitic War Melson has made sure the most powerful units including the Reptoli Tuul fleet are operated by his House and the imperial bodyguard the Chosen Men or his closest ally Joshi.
