Clone-FES talks begin on Yeng

Peace talks between the Clone Star Empire and the Free Eritran States have begun on Yeng in the DTA, with NS as observers. The FES want full Clone withdrawal from CSE-E, the former Eritran Trade Federation, obviously the Clones want to keep the planets and for the FES to withdraw.

A compromise promoted by the Dinos is for the Clones to keep Austini 55 and Woloron 12 but withdraw from the other planets which would become independent (and free to join the FES if they wish). The Clones are said to be interested in this though want a five lightyear wide demilitarised zone between the CSE and FES held territory.
