Ungus Crisis

Diplomatic action

While the fighting had been raging for about a year in the Camthrin System, it was known by about a year by the public that the myrrans were helping the insurgents. However, the Republic didn't like it because they feared the qravadoxs would declare war on the Alliance of Alpha Quadrant. The Republic indeed didn't want to be drawn into a conflict deemed too far away and not worth it. This one added to the common text of the AAQ summit of 2426 a declaration which stipulated that the Alliance did not wish to intervene in the conflict to avoid any tension with the Qravadox Directorate in order to put an end to this support. Unfortunately, the joint declaration was not accepted by the Myrran Trade Union and the Zelvan Council who abstained from voting. The Republic not wanting to withdraw this paragraph and the Myrran Trade Union not wanting to accept this declaration until the paragraph is withdrawn put an end to the discussions. It was therefore the only time in the history of the AAQ summit that a common text was not published after the meeting. After the summit, the Myrran Trade Union unilaterally declared its intervention in the Continuation War which triggered an immediate reaction from the Republic. She was outraged by this action and declared that she was not going to support the military actions of the Myrran Trade Union. The Zelvan Council did not take a position on the issue which prevented the Republic from exerting enough pressure on the Myrran Trade Union to make it give up. The situation worsened when, shortly after, the ministry of foreign affairs declared that the Zelvan Council will going to support the Myrran Trade Union militarily which definitely prevents the Republic from doing anything. The Republic being diplomatically isolated within the AAQ by its pacifist position towards the conflict, it could only be a witness when the myrran officially launched their offensive a few weeks later with the support of the Zelvan Council. However, seeing that the Qravadox Directorate had no intention of declaring war on the Republic, the latter ceased to condemn the military operations of the Myrran Trade Union. The Republic will succeed in re-establishing good relations with the members of the Alliance of Alpha Quadrant a few years after the war, but the growing influence of the Zelvan Council within it will make the Republic adopt a competitive attitude. This one will try by all means to reduce this influence. The zelvans will retain from all this a feeling of frustration which has led to the stereotype that humans are a cowardly species.
