with your broadcasts into our territory, YOU will
not interfere with OURS!
22 Your Fleet will never again exceed a level of fifty ships for each
system you possess. We will also negotiate the turning over of some
further territory to help pay the debts of this long and bitter
struggle.
23 Otherwise than that," said North, "we will crush every system, take
everything of value your people have, and allow you no ships, whatever,
not even freighters.
24 There will also be free exchange of people back and forth between
systems. You will not require travel permits for your people."
25 The Lord God looked very angry and North knew he did not like the
terms. But finally he nodded. "Something;" he cursed, "is better than
nothing! You have your agreement. Send emissaries and I will sign it."
26 So it was The Conflict Of The Rebellion Era finally ended. North
returned to Hades, and for the rest of his life ruled in peace over a
Republic that prospered and expanded. Morn was with him in Spirit, and
it was the most joyous time of his life.
