The Lyran Commonwealth hereby claims all worlds taken by the Draconis Combine in Skye that were not part of the Combine pre-Jan 3025. Furthermore, we claim all worlds in the Pandora finger including Pandora due to the fact that the Combine has not negotiated in good faith with their flagrant breach of the April agreement.

As for all other worlds granted in the April agreement, we are willing to negotiate their status, to some extent, but we feel the Combine should be penalized in some form or fashion in lieu of the return of these worlds, be it in monetary reparations or supplies to rebuild from the damage done.

Furthermore, there is a list of 65 wanted war criminals that we want handed over to allied authorities in the wake of ISF actions on Dell and Verthandi, and the DCA's bombardment of Moritz. The actions are well documented and a matter of public record.

There seems to be no worlds going from the FedSuns to the DC , unless I am reading this wrong and that is the most generous retreat in the Dragon's history?

EDIT

That looks more balanced.  Bugger the Black Dragons, his wife would have shot him over that capitulation.

First Prince Davion,

Why don't we then simply go back to the borders at 2750? Or even 2150?

I understand the desire for peace, and I support it. However, the events of the last 2 years cannot simply be
ignored or forgotten.

The Oberon Confederation reinforces the claim for the following worlds based on previous the previous treaty agreed upon by all parties.
 
Basiliano, Csesztreg, Feltre, Harvest, Hohenems, Kandis, Kirchbach, Kufstein, Leizen, Lovinac, Memmingen, Mozirge, New Caledonia, Ridderkerk, Rodigo, Stanzach, Svarstaad, The Edge, Unzmarkt, Verthandi, Vorarlberg.
 
Due to the most recent treaty violation by the Draconis Combine, we seek suitable assurances and reparations including production runs from the facilities of Joint Equipment Systems and Alshain Battleworx of Alshain.
 
Prince Hendrik Grimm IV
Oberon Confederation.

First-Prince Davion,

After these long months of war, I do not think either our of nation-states will accept a complete return to the 3024 Borders.

Unless the Lyran Commonwealth will join in on this proposal?

If we could amend the list of the worlds I provided, would it be a possibility?

First-Prince, I am happy to leave the border as it is.

I simply thought that you would prefer to minimise the Mallory's World Salient.

Returning to the 3024 border would be extreme.

This is the Draconis Combine's final offer, in each case the Combine is
giving up, or recognising, far more than it is receiving.  Any more demands
for concessions will result in a loss of face unacceptable to the Dragon
Throne.  As the Combine has been willing to cede more than it receives from
the outset of these negotiations, AND is willing to be bound by a five year
interdiction enforced treaty, the Combine feels further pushing for more
concessions by the Allied states cannot be accepted in any way, shape or
form.

Federated Suns Counter-Offer

The Draconis Combine agrees to the offer, bar the worlds of Galtor III and
Marduk for symbolic reasons.  This would break down as follows:

*       DC Cedes

*       21 Worlds
*       125 enclaves
*       $12,500 Total value

*       FS Cedes

*       14 Worlds
*       91 enclaves
*       4 GF production
*       $11,100 Total value

As can be seen, the Federated Suns is still gaining more in the deal

Lyran Commonwealth Counter-Offer

The Draconis Combine does not agree to the additional three worlds or paying
for them, due to the following comparison from the Draconis Combine's
original offer:

*       DC Cedes:

*       9 worlds
*       44 enclaves
*       18 GF
*       $13,400 in total value

*       LC Cedes:

*       7 worlds
*       50 enclaves
*       0 GF
*       $5,000 in total value

As can be seen, the Lyran Commonwealth was already gaining far more in the
original deal

Oberon Confederation Demands

As the Oberon Confederation was not directly attacked by the Draconis
Combine, only becoming involved when it launched its own offensive
operations, the Draconis Combine will not provide any reparations or
production from its facilities.  However, the Draconis Combine will
recognise the Oberon Confederation's territorial claims as previously
outlined."
