Treaty of Magellan signed: Peace between LSF and BNE
Earlier today the mutual non-aggression pact between LSF and BNE was signed in a surprising gesture of co-operation between two groups that are ideologically opposed. The deal was brokered after LSF officer Hobbes intervened in the transfer of Zap Brannigan to New London, the subsequent dispute between LSF and BNE led to threats of war, which were averted through this treaty. The SPS-BNE conflict has continued and has approached a bloody stalemate: with BNE holding the majority of Bretonia space, specifically Northern and Central Bretonia, and SPS holding fewer systems (Cambridge and Manchester, less than half of Bretonia) but having access to a large amount of foreign aid from the other houses means that no side is able to crush the other completely. The one thing that has so far ensured that the BNE is not totally and completely crushed is the lack of foreign military aid to the SPS. So far Ronin, the LSF and Rhineland have held back from deploying any major assets to Bretonia. Were they to deploy sufficient forces many believe that the war would progress very quickly to a SPS victory, this treaty however effectively removes the possibility of an LSF incursion until the 1st of August.
