Exactly what it says on the tin. The Waptorian Eldarisian war really broke out because both nations were quite uninformed about what the other stood for (and then there was some Citadelean manipulation in the middle).

Eldarisia is protective of nature on their planets and those of their allies, as they see nature as the key to their overall prosperity, so they protect nature in every system they own and keep it healthy. This is obviously of extreme importance to the Waptoria and actually the first criteria of how they pick their allies. In short this one sentence really improved the Waptorian view of Eldarisia.

I think Eldarisia is going trough a simmilar process? Once they realise the "Watorian" worlds Eldarisia first landed on were actually Citadelian, they could re-evaluate Waptorian society without negative bias and find it much more to their liking. (Given how open the Waptoria is to new beliefs, Cuth might become a mayor religion inside the Waptoria eventually - given that relations actually improve).

This mutual re-evaluation of one another might lead to understandment and the two nations suspending hostility, which might lead to mutual excange programs, which will hasten the process even more, and eventually a joint terraforming campaign. This is really the pinnacle of good realtions with the Waptoria and might lead to outright friendly relationships, and perhaps, one day, even an alliance - though that lies in the far, ar future.

Lastly, two things. One is that the Waptoria will most likely fight alongside Eldarisia against the Hand of Retribution (a Mendel who wants to destroy Eldarisia and the Covenant). Again, this might hasten a better mutual understanding. The Talven are (probably) on the Hand's side so bear that in mind. The second is that, since Eldarisia now knows about the polluting influence of the Citadel of Sapients, I hope they will help the Waptoria in finally defeating them for good (and I promise, that time will come). Since they are responible for what Eldarisia sees as bad in the Waptoria in the first place, I see no reason why They wouldn't want to see them gone. Again, this would lead to an improvement in relationships.
