The Volterran Senate gathered 2 days ago to pursue negotiations with Nova in a bid to finally end the drama in the region for good. I know the GNA was largely not interested in this, but for people who have to live within 600 blocks of Kaiserin, this was a golden opportunity that we couldn't afford to miss. The senate decided that ~ 7k diamonds was worth peacefully resolving the issue once and for all and that this method would be undisputed internationally. I know that figure is high for some GNA members (not because it’s a lot of diamonds, but because you don't want to give them to nova), but we're interested in resolving this effectively and without hurting too many feelings, not so much the amount of diamonds or pride.

On the senate's behalf, I spoke to Nova yesterday and agreed a price of 6.5k for all of her land and groups. The first payment of 1k diamonds will likely be delivered this weekend. Nova has been given a month to collect her and her citizens' belongings and we plan on paying about 1k a week. The transfer will be complete in about 6 week's time. We expect the factories to be maintained. A Farley war was also planned between Volterra and Kaiserin, to let out all the remaining hate between both sides. Basically the plan is to grow up, forgive, and forget.

Once the land and groups are transferred, we'll proceed to reorganize it to satisfy all invested and non-invested parties. We plan on giving Icenia a lot of her southern claims. If there's anyone else who has claims, just meet with me afterwards and we'll sort it out quickly and easily.

Their lands are still theirs until this deal is completed, so they should maintain their jurisdiction (kaiserin, vienna, hogeklif, etc.). Please don't pursue more avenues of trouble now that this has been resolved.

Again, sorry to the people who wanted to reduce the price / pursue war / ignore this / restore the old republic, but I was able to quickly settle this at only marginal cost to Volterra while removing shitloads of potential drama from all sides, so I think it was worth it. Others will likely disagree, and I understand, but I think it's time for us to all just move on and restore peace to the Galaxy
