Hello all,

I've been planning to sort out the Marinus' Rebellion page for a while now, but I've been delayed a lot by other things I either had to or really wanted to get done both on and off the wiki, and I suspect it'll still be some time until I can get round to it. As such, I'd like to clarify how things ended - I don't know how much you were aware about what happened.

The treaty between the Talva and Four-Power alliance involved significant (but temporary) restrictions on the Talven military, along with a democratization effort overseen by the FPA. In return, the Talva were granted full membership in the Xonexi Board of Seven.

Balbus intended that the Talva would represent those such as the Mirusian Triumvirate that were unhappy with the Xonexian status quo, allowing them to use the Talven veto on the Board's decisions. In order to ensure that the Talva would not become part the threat he had hoped to deal with, he also organised extensive regulations within the Talven Empire to limit what they could do as a part of the Board.

Balbus didn't believe that this would reliably and permanently solve the problem, and set some other things in motion to take advantage of this situation, but that probably won't be relavent for some time, and almost certainly after he himself is dead.

I can answer any specific questions you have before the Marinus' Rebellion page is finished.

I'm sorry for how long it's taken me to tell you all this.
