Since the existence of DTA-Bolitic Confederacy talks were revealed Emperor Melson has faced a barrage of opposition on the Bolitic capital Castarian. Seven Barons, the heads of Bolitic houses, have called on Melson to end the talks. One, Trehane the head of a middle ranking house, said the Bolitic should not lower itself for money.
"The Emperor seeks to betray our principals for koleks! What next, maybe our daughters can turn tricks to earn extra Dino coin!" he roared at a rally outside the palace.
However Trehane is one of the most notable opposing barons and not high ranked. Melson also received support from an unlikely source. The powerful Baron Erinthorn, who once plotted to depose Melson, has said the Bolitic need to adjust to the new reality, take the money and rebuild.

NS to experiment with AR ship interiors
NS is to experiment with augmented reality (AR) ship interiors according to a briefing given by Dr Forbidden. A test ship will be fitted with holographic projectors and will be able to adapt controls and interiors depending on mission and ship status. For example combat specific systems and controls may be hidden until a combat situation and vice versa to reduce visual clutter and potential confusion for crews.
Dr Forbidden said that the projectors would also be able to adapt controls and displays for specific crew members using a adaptive database. "The ship will learn what the crew member uses mostly, any specific likes and needs and optimise the display for them." he said. It is not yet known which ship will be fitted but it is likely to be one of the departmental service Pentekonters.

Sirikwan would be used as intermediary in any Dino-Bolitic deal
Censor Ronald has said, at a media briefing, he is the main architect behind the peace talks between the DTA and Bolitic Confederacy which are being held on Yeng. Ronald has not attended the talks himself which are being led by a Sirikwanese delegation, this is to help defuse tensions between the Dinos and Bolitic.
Ronald said he was confident a peace treaty would be signed by Emperors MBH and Melson. It would be likely that Sirikwan would act as an intermediary in any future contact between the Dinos and Bolitic including the 10 billion zark "bail out" which would officially be from the DTA (though really Dino money). Trade would also be led via third parties in the DTA.
"Decades of conflict are not easily swept aside." Ronald said and thus it was sensible to make use of Sirikwan. "One day i'd love to visit Castarian but we can wait for that."

Shock Dino-Bolitic talks revealed
The Sirikwanese media has revealed that Dino, Bolitic and Sirikwanese representatives have been holding talks on Yeng for months. The secret talks have been held to negotiate a peace treaty between the DTA and Bolitic Confederacy... but more important for Emperor Melson a bail out for the crumbling Bolitic economy.
The Bolitic economy is in tatters following disastrous wars (both external and internal) and demographic pressures. Bolitic shipyards have been inactive for over a year and unemployment and shortages are causing unrest. One Dino commentator said that the Bolitic could be one failed harvest or natural disaster away from total collapse.
The Dinos have offered a 10 billion zark (about 18 billion Bolitic koleks) bail out as a "reward" for a comprehensive peace treaty including a formal declaration of peace made by both Dino and Bolitic emperors. Talks would also begin on an economic treaty between the DTA and Bolitic.
Senator Cruggson, when asked about the talks, said that people should expect some sort of announcement later in the year.
