The setting for the Embassy, which includes a council meeting chamber, security and diplomat dormitories, and document storage drives have been all set up. The diplomats have already been escorted into the meeting chamber, and guards have been set up at post both inside the Peace Station and in orbit of the venue.

Currently, the Equestrian representatives are now being waited upon.

Equestrian: Concordat Terms
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY ALL THE CONCORDAT TERMS AND CONDITIONS BEFORE ANY COMMENTS OR SIGNING. The concordat verifies that both parties, the Concordee (Equestrian) and the Concorder (Ktaroch Empire) legally recognizes each other as sovereign nations and is thus subject to the herein terms of the treaty. Any violation of the Concordat is subject to legal action, and if needed, complete breakage of the treaty. If the Concordee does not agree to the terms of the document, any reasonable changes may be suggested, or decide to abandon signing the Concordat altogether.

1. CONNECTION DEVELOPMENT: A post-signing meeting must be held in order to further enhance connections between the Concorder and the Concordee and let the treaty not simply be recognition of each other. Discussed in this are trade, travel, military assistance, etc.

2. PEACE: Neither party may conduct hostile military force on each other, unless Term # 3 demands an equal loss for the initiating party.

3. RESPONSIBILITY: Both the Concordee and the Concorder are responsible for any actions done to the other party, be it beneficial, hostile or simply unlawful. In a hostile case, eye for an eye, tooth for tooth (equal losses for both sides), unless the Concordat should be broken altogether. If both sides has then given the punishment of equal loss, the Concordat's stability under Term # 4 goes back to normal

4. BREAKAGE: A group of skilled researcher diplomats, from both parties, can determine if the Concordat is on the verge of breakage due to multiple violations of the terms included herein. Once the Group considers the Concordat "broken", all the terms here are considered null and void, and the Group disbands.

Test
"Hmm... This doesn't go right. That looked way, way too easy to accomplish for you, simply destroying it without even a second of hesitation. Either you have enough courage, or apparently we forgot to conduct a population and technological density check. The latter is most likely.

We'll let this off this time and sent you an official Concordat of Peace to be signed by any official with planetary governance status or higher, but if we encounter a civilization that happens to be your ally and we conduct a test on them, please be courteous and do not intervene or respond with hostility."

Skjalthriin, Ktaroch Capital
"Ah, yes. That 40 hesvims you left to the keeper right down the corner just yesterday? Hmm, hmm... oh, right, right. Got caught along with the confiscations when his venue got shut down by constabularies, thanks to unspecified illegal stuff."

"Oh well, it's just mere forty."

"So rich, even a few dozen hesvims don't even matter to you?"

"Nah. Guess living as the Emperor's brother doesn't matter all too much now. Besides, on all these few centuries since he was on the throne, it's impressive he kept the money stuff stable and well. Then again, every single bit of finance, with the exception of money itself, don't make even a nano-sized bit of sense to me."

Silence followed again as they continued to drink their daily doses of refreshing, bubbling Skarr in their oddly-shaped wine bottles that look more like Erlenmeyer flasks, leaning on the glass walls of the building's observation deck. Occasionally a blue flash from the distance would reflect on Felaga's eyes and Styr's carapace, which were simply just cruise and migration ships about to dart through space on their way to the other popular spots of the Empire. Some would say there's no sense in moving away from the Empire's best spot, which is Fort Tyngardeum (in which it's reason for fame is already obvious in the name) but the reason is as always: overcrowding, rest, or simply getting tired of seeing the same thing over and over again.

Disrupted by a gust of wind that made a thumping and whistling noise on the rooftop, the two put their drinks down and continued their little conversation they had previously.

"So, anyways, it seems like Syno- *cough* Emperor Synod seems to be a bit... getting close to retiring. Yeah, with all the shit he's been complaining lately about his job, plus the fact that he's been ruling for too long in an era of peace, it seems likely that he will retire. Such a thing, if it might happen, will be the first time in recorded history. Everything previously has been all assassinations by racists from both species."

"Wait, emperors can retire?"

"Shush now, lower your voice. Others might hear us talking casually about Synod and get mad. Although lately he talked about getting tired of being treated too formally, too feared and too respected. He has no choice, however, thanks to his family and the Jarls being unduly worried about xenophobic assassins, anti-monarchics and stuff like that. I do think that even Emperors these days need rights. So revered, yet he feels like an Ermikuur in an isolation punishment..."

"I pity him."

...intelligent thinking. However, acceptance of the test will mean that your denial of the consequences earlier is denied back. Although, your willingness in participation of the Test makes that irrelevant.

The timer starts now. You are given 3 days to conduct emergency evacuation.

Equestrian Space
You have officially agreed to this test. There is no turning back at this point now.

This is not a measure of strength; this is a measure of courage. According to the Emperor's recommendations, you are to destroy... the largest continent on this planet. You can conduct an evacuation, but only with a time limit of up to three rotations of this world. Because of its possible great cost, what shall be in return will not only be diplomacy, but also the schematics of this fleet's flagship, one that is derived from a great old enemy the universe has battled.

Consequences for abandonment include giving us the privilege of building space stations in your territory, but a neutral diplomatic relation will still be maintained. Failure to comply with this consequence: act of war.

You can reclaim the destroyed continent, and with our assistance also, for free.

Time starts... now.
