It has become clear that there are certain parties who are distressed by the upcoming merger of the RCC with the Thermolian empire.

Specifically, it has been requested by the Cyber collective that they receive all the former Dei-O systems. WE have not done this, and we were very surprised by this request, for we had no inkling of such desires until now.

WE have urged all parties involved in this to be moderate and restrained in their actions.

We have given the Cyber two excellent planets in exchange for our accidental colonization of a planet they had desired in the Woostoid system. This trade is much more than fair to cyber - especially given that they already possess many planets in Woostoid.

Therefore we ask that they refrain from any inflamatory actions towards Thermolia, in the interest of resolving any outstanding issues.

We have also urged Thermolia to pursue the resolution of any issues that remain.

We fundamentally question the desire for Cyber to possess all of the former Dei-O systems now, when previously they had expressed no such desire. To bringup such issues now seems ill-timed at best, ill-intentioned at worst.

Our merger with Thermolia was the best option available to us. Thermolia was totally decimated by the war with Dei-O. They were, effectively, a minor power that had always supported the RCC. Thus, combinging our empires results in no change in the balance of power - nothing will change effectively. hence, there should be no concern over this unless it is based on jealousy or ulterior motives.

We urge all to resolve this issues peacefully as the RCC leadership retires.
