Talks to form denuclearised zone fail

Talks between New Sparta and the Clone Star Empire to form a ten light year denuclearised zone either side of the borders between the UNP and CSE have broken up with no agreement. The zone would have meant no nuclear warheads including nuclear tipped CSM/LRM would be allowed, as well as space ship based nuclear weapons.

However it is thought the Clones, have initially been warm to the idea have cooled their interest once they realised the strategic advantage they would lose to NS. Dialogue will continue though it is not thought it will go anywhere.
