Correction! The Klingon Empire never sold weapons to the Breen Confederacy! Also, the trade agreements between the Klingon Empire and the Breen Confederacy was signed BEFORE the Non-Proliferation treaty was even dreamed.

Regardless.....I for one do not wish to go to war, but I will if you force me...I wish to again offer my compromise. I will maintain rights of the space I have claimed (a few thousand cubic kilometers). I will also pay to build two first line defensive stations to protect the Wormhole. The Gorn will then gain rights to station a defensive force at the Beta Quadrant station, and the Klingon's gain rights to station a defensive force at the Delta Quadrant station.

If you really want to start a war over a few thousand km of space so be it.

Our negotiations with the Klingon Empire are not Federation business, and we had developed cloaking devices years before any treaties were signed. Our development of Disruptor technology was gained by observation of other powers, not subterfuge. Your intel is as faulty as your fake overtures towards peace in this region. Peace under Federation rule is not peace, but indoctrination and subjugation. You are the power developing massive warships, and deploying advanced cloaking technology on one hand, while trying to reprimand other powers for doing the same.

You have openly flaunted your power, and used it to bully other sovereign nations into falling in line with your ideals, using veiled threats and open espionage. How else would you know about dealings between the mighty Klingon Empire and the colossal Breen Confederacy? Our government is as strong as ever, and we will not tolerate any further aggressive actions without regard to the other trillions of sapient beings in this region.

If I may interject, I think that since the Federation lays claim to that space, I believe that they should not only bow to the powers around them, but give up the space in total.

As foolish as this may sound to the Federation I will further explain. Instead of arguing about that space make it truly neutral space, make an outpost in the area, and allow all of the reiging powers to have representatives aboard this station. I will gladly pool some resources towards the construction of this station as well in order to see peace throughout the quadrant.

As well as this, I will take no sides on this matter, as many of you have seen, we have allowed for many of the powers to use our assets, and we are again ready to offer our assets to help introduce peace as well as encourage exploration of this wormhole. This station in the belief of the Ferengi should be that devoted to science and to exploration of the wormhole as well as the other side of the wormhole.

Is anyone interested in this idea?

:::grins mischeviously:::

If you'd like a neutrel party to run it, I'm sure that the Cardassia Defense Force would be willing to construct and man a NOR class station at the mouth of the wormhole.

I am already constructing my station in the area...I have offered my compromise, which will allow the Gorn, Klingon, and Federation fleets to defend the wormhole together, with each party having a degree of sovereignty in the defense of the wormhole, but the wormhole and space needed to guard it are to remain Federation space.

The problem with that is that you are laying claim to it. If instead we all agreed free usage of it, with some amount of restriction of course, then we will not have this issue.

But again, I am a neutral party, and for me, either is good for business, so it does not matter to me in the end.

yo. As for the Tholian Assembly, we respect the right of the Fed to maintain its find of the wormhole and only the necessary space around it. It was their exploration team that discovered it. If we keep on having fiasco like this every time somebody discovers something outside their territory, then what exactly is the point of exploration?

The Klingon Empire will speak with the Gorn on this. If all is agreed, then it will be so.

After speaking with the Gorn. We have come to the agreement that this compromise is acceptable. By order of the Klingon Empire, the Klingon forces around the newly found wormhole will end their blockade.

There...you see? We're all friends again.

That's a bit of a stretch, but at least the threat of war has been reduced.

The Klingon Empire has selected a fleet to represent our interests in the Delta Quadrant. They well be deployed shortly and without cloak as to make no mistake of their purpose.
