ANDAR PRIME - Ambassador Rayan Tiller has confirmed the formation of the Trifold Union, an interstellar alliance between the Coreworlds Conglomerate, the Empire of the Queil and the Ele, a previously unknown galactic power.
Following months of negotiations, Ambassador Tiller appeared today alongside his counterparts, Prince Aster of the Queil and the unnamed leader of the Ele delegation, to announce the new alliance, which was ratified at the Threshold of the Ninth Plane diplomatic centre on Andar Prime.
The agreement solidifies the current borders of the three governments’ territories, while allowing for further expansion towards the outer galaxy. Aides report that Ambassador Tiller leveraged the Conglomerate’s FTL travel technology to secure peaceful coexistence with the militaristic Queils. The offers and demands of the Ele are not yet publicly known, and any related documentation has already been redacted.
Almost nothing is known about out new neighbours, the Ele, who claim to control most of the far side of the galaxy. The Ele ambassador’s only statement has been an invitation to the galactic community. Speaking in the universal negotiation language Andarran Standard, it said that “the Ele domain is open to all. We will see you soon.”
Critics are wary of an unknown quantity influencing such a wide-reaching deal, and some expect the Ele to be revealed as “frauds in cheap theatre costumes”, but Ambassador Tiller has reassured the coreworlds that “the Trifold Union will mean prosperity for all citizens of the galaxy.”
