Peace in Our Times

[Panzer]

Well, in my opinion, this war cannot last forever and will have to end sooner or later. Maybe not peace (just yet) however, but a delicate armistice. The Tau 31 system could be indeed governed by a faction neutral towards this conflict (I suggest Liberty, they're descendants of the Americans, who seem to like peace-keeping operations). Even despite that, some Bretonian and Kusari activity should be noticeable there. minor skirmishes, black ops, reconaisance. Those would involve nothing bigger than gunboat, since any larger vessle would be easily spotted, which in turn could be rcognized as a violation of the armistice. In short. Turn Tau 31 into a buffer zone, not yet a peace treaty, but armistice and some minor clashes between fighter groups.
But that's a mere suggestion. However it is worth taking into account, that rarely warring sides just shake hands and say "sorry". Usually, the post-war tensions last for much longer, than the war itself
