At first there was enough space for everyone, but after a few decades a few of the groups started getting all territorial and argumentative and little wars broke out. This caused a massive influx of military hardware into the region and eventually the various factions of the Federated territories went to war with the The Astræ'an Empire. |

Once again the [[Blue_Giant:Empress_Astræ'a|Empress Astræ'a]] sued for peace and left negotiations in the hands of [[Blue_Giant:Admiral_Osada|Admiral Osada]] who wisely sought help from a race called the [[Blue_Giant:Treaty_Zone_Species#Flarin|Flarin]]. The Flarin were excellent negotiators and were accepted by many sides as an independant and neutral party and the eventual treaty satisfied everyone except the Oruc-Pang who had been making a fortune as arms dealers, smugglers and scouts during the conflicts. |

Each side has got around this in a number of ways. Just before the signing of the treaty the [[Blue_Giant:Gordon_Corporations|Gordon Freeholders]] announced that all its planets in the Treaty zone would be handed over to independant companies called the Gordon-Fir, Gordon-Pine, and Gordon-Cedar settler corporations. A few days later a number of Imperial Bases mutinied and declared themselves independant nations, a fact which Admiral Osada completely neglected to mention, despite the fact that one of the bases was the headquarters of his Grand Imperial Fleet. |
