[b]Empress Talakuan Nami[/b]

“Nothing is set in stone yet but notify Lei to begin exploratory talks to improve relations. We have neglected relations for too long. I want the agenda to start off with combatting piracy and re-strengthening economic relations. We will deal with the political side later. That is all.” 

“Yes Empress” as the Empress Assistant walked away.

Nami sat cross legged on the palace balcony, staring out to the waters of Awasapa Prime on Kapayapaan. It was gifted to the Empire when they along with Korinokuni joined the Empire. Although as the waters peacefully moved, her mind was racing. Years of near political, social, economic isolation has not boded well for Zishan. The economy has been stagnating and has only grown little, relations with the Oversellar Zishan has been neglected and relations with most nations in the cluster have been widely neglected. The everyday Zishanese citizens are increasingly curious of the wider cluster, seeking greater economic opportunities making the risky migration out from the home systems. Its already stressful enough she must deal with political bickering regarding conservative members on opening the country to the wider cluster along with the spiritual discussing regarding the faith. It does not help that being located in far edge of the cluster having to deal with adventurous pirates, from the perspective of the Navy that many of the pirates hail from the core, attacking cargo and transport ships and enslaving their own citizens. For the Empress, who is thirty-five her role as face of the nation and a living deity was something stressful due to the previous administration governance. At least her mind she knew she had an administration that would be support behind these uncertain times.

Zishan Embassy[/b][/u]

Lei Dacoruan, the thirty-four-year-old ambassador sat within her office. She has been the ambassador for Zishan for only a few years, having to take the role of the leader of the Overstellar Zishanese. She also noteworthy for being several of the youngest members of the Empire diplomatic service and was chose for this position as she represented a generation of Zishanese born outside of the Imperial System. She understood very well that Zishan would have to adapt to cluster to survive and could not keep itself in nearly isolated for that long.

Lei muttered something indescribable under hear breath. 

She sighed at her desk while looking at a report on her computer, several cargo ships in the frontier attacked by pirates, unknown number of Zishanese migrants on board as reported from one Zishanese who escaped via escape pod. She muttered, “Damn Pirates.” Just at that moment then, a message notification popped up on her screen, “The Empress bid you blessings, under her administration you are to begin exploratory discussions regarding the improvement of Zishanese-New Eden relations.”

That was all, and thus Lei would begin the difficult work on improving such strained relations between two states. Starting though, is always a good sign as she relayed a message to the New Eden administration of starting exploratory talks to improve relations.
