Spoils of the Guild Wars

April 27, 2489

Our forces currently occupy two thirds of the disputed locations, including Onuru Sigma and Raydin III, where the last Kel-Morian resistance has been pacified. General Mah Sakai has ordered the remaining strength of the Combine back to Moria to prepare for a final defence of their capital world should we choose to continue the attack. We consider this inadvisable.

Morian diplomats have been sent to negotiate peace terms. We have a list of 197 Kel-Morian affiliate guilds which we have persuaded the Morians to cede to the Confederacy if a peace agreement can be reached. The list and the guild’s associated assets have been provided to the Senate for your perusal.

However, the most recent evaluation of the assets’ condition has been disappointing. While the raw resources remain extensive, most of the facilities have either been damaged during the war, or, we suspect, sabotaged by the retreating Kel-Morians. Costs to reopen these locations would be significant. Senator MacMasters has proposed instead that the Kel-Morian Combine retain control of the guilds and be instead charged reparations for war damages in actual credits. Costs for rebuilding the damaged facilities would be entirely within the hands of the Combine, though we would only see a fraction of the expected guild income.

- Major General Fole, Confederate High Command
