The Imperial government confirms the Romulan announcement that peace has been achieved. The Romulan state is now a protectorate of the Empire. As of now, all Imperial and Romulan borders are closed to all traffic until further notice as we attend the needs of rebuilding the worlds which have suffered from this conflict. We intend to resolve this matter as quickly as possible.

We are honored by the Breen government's rapid responses in this conflict.

The Vanguard Flotilla is content to leave the clean up operation to civilian and Klingon authorities. I'm sure humanitarian aid shall be dispatched in due course.

The fleet will withdraw to our own territory.

The Empire is grateful for the Turei's support in finding peace.

In the war, many of our financial records were lost, and we fear they are incomplete. If all powers to whom we owe could provide a rough estimate of the amount so that we can begin repayment with a goal in mind.

Also, to those powers that provided non-financial assistance, we would like to begin negotiating some form of repayment. It will be difficult, but we will repay all of our debts.

*** Universal Address ***

It is with heavy heart that we sit in vigil over the disappearance of the Kazon-Ferengi Alliance. We may not have agreed on many things, if anything besides a precariously stable trade route, but no race should simply disappear from the map. In that light we must demand that the Federation release its findings in the region as soon as they become available. If they can simply be wiped from the face of the universe, like someone wipes a smear from glass, then they are a threat to the security of every race in space. We must know, regardless of Allegiances, what has caused this tragedy so we may better prepare for it. All of us.

The Empire wishes to confirm the news report that the vessels of Klingon design in FKI space were a part of arms sale. As the deal was incomplete at the time of the FKI's fall. We still have one thousand battle cruisers open for sale should anyone wish to purchase them. Anyone wishing to purchase from the Empire should contact the Imperial Defense Force - High Command on private channels.

We must also sadly declare that, with the decline of the FKI, we have another two trade routes and a significant avenue of trade to be sent to other powers to aid them and ourselves in economical stability.

The Empire will accept any trade you have available.

Cardassia also finds itself with over two million units of trade open. Please respond on a private channel to discuss trade terms.

The Hegemony also finds itself with an excess of 15 million trade credits. Please contact over a private channel if interested.

We are willing to allow limited Breen forces to stage within Cardassian space as a gesture of neighborly courtasy.

As the only routes open to the Empire would require six to eight months of transit, we will be abstaining from the joint operation. It would simply take to long for our scouts to arrive.
