It will be an important date in history, pi day YC125. Relations between the core powers are being redrawn.
I am happy for the ceasefire with the Federation - and hope that it will lead to better economic and cultural relations. This is also something that LUMEN through its embassy has been striving for. The road is long, there is a lot of mutual distrust, and there are aspects of our cultures that we find horrible in the other. Yet, this peace was the vision of Emperor Heideran VII and the Pax Amarria.
The peace between the State and the Republic, in a way, is also welcome. But it does put a lot of strain on our alliance with the State - probably this will revert to simply a non-agression pact too.
One must keep in mind that there is no longer an all-out war between the empires for well over a decade. Concord has channeled that war into the arena of the designated constellations for faction warfare. It is there that the impact will be felt most strongly. Rather than an Amarr-Caldari bloc fighting the Gallente-Minmatar bloc, the two warzones will most likely split. In one theatre, Empire and Republic will fight, while in the other, Federation and State will wage war.
Concord will see to it that the battle does not spill out of the designated war zone.
