Mai begangen.\n\n# GESCHICHTE\n\nIn den letzten Jahren der Messer-\u00c4ra standen die UEE und das Xi'an-Imperium seit \u00fcber zwei Jahrhunderten am Rande eines Krieges, und die \u00f6ffentliche Meinung auf beiden Seiten sprach sich f\u00fcr eine Beendigung des Konflikts aus. Die Planetensysteme, die an die beiden Reiche grenzten, standen unter st\u00e4ndiger milit\u00e4rischer \u00dcberwachung, was Mittel verschlang, die in anderen Bereichen dringend ben\u00f6tigt wurden. Wichtige [H\u00e4user](https:\/\/robertsspaceindustries.com\/galactapedia\/article\/box9JmxvWL-xian-house) innerhalb des Xi'an-Imperiums hatten dagegen protestiert, ihre Jugend in den ungewissen Kampf gegen einen feindlichen Feind zu schicken, und als die Bedrohung durch Angriffe der [Vanduul](https:\/\/robertsspaceindustries.com\/galactapedia\/article\/VpGPp92gdO-vanduul) zu einer gro\u00dfen Sorge wurde, begannen die Menschen daran zu zweifeln, dass das Messer-Regime die Xi'an weiterhin als Ursache f\u00fcr alle Probleme der UEE ansah. Au\u00dferdem war [Linton Messer XI](https:\/\/robertsspaceindustries.com\/galactapedia\/article\/RwZBaD4Mdq-linton-messer-xi) ein unpopul\u00e4rer Herrscher. Er hatte die brutale Politik seines Vaters beibehalten, anstatt sie r\u00fcckg\u00e4ngig zu machen, wie er es seinen Anh\u00e4ngern vor seinem Staatsstreich SEY 2781 versprochen hatte, und seine Gewohnheit, schnell und t\u00f6dlich zur\u00fcckzuschlagen, hatte ihn die meisten seiner Verb\u00fcndeten im Senat und im Milit\u00e4r gekostet. Die Bedingungen waren reif f\u00fcr die Er\u00f6ffnung eines Weges zum Frieden.\n\nSenator Terrance Akari von Terra und Kaiser T.u\u0113ng se Kr.\u0113 vom Xi'an-Reich tauschten erstmals im SEY 2775 (MXY III.1032) Nachrichten aus. Der Senator interessierte sich schon lange f\u00fcr die Kultur von Xi'an und nutzte seinen politischen Status, um die F\u00e4den zu ziehen und Fragen an die Regierung von Xi'an weiterzuleiten, wenn er auf ein kulturelles Konzept stie\u00df, das er nicht verstand. Zu seiner \u00dcberraschung begann der Kaiser selbst, auf seine Briefe zu antworten. Kr.\u0113 erkannte die Gelegenheit als das, was sie war: eine Chance, eine Verbindung zur zweith\u00f6chsten Ebene der menschlichen Regierung zu kn\u00fcpfen. Als ihre Korrespondenz im Laufe der Jahre zunahm, begannen sie zu diskutieren, wie ein Frieden zwischen der UEE und dem Xi'an-Reich aussehen k\u00f6nnte.\n\nIm SEY 2789 (MXY III.1040) kamen sie \u00fcberein, dass es an der Zeit war, sich pers\u00f6nlich zu treffen und \u00fcber die Ausarbeitung eines m\u00f6glichen Vertrags zu sprechen. Nach wochenlangen Beratungen entschieden sie sich f\u00fcr das Tohil-System, da es keine milit\u00e4rische Pr\u00e4senz aufwies und an der Grenze der beiden Reiche lag. W\u00e4hrend sich Kaiser Kr.\u0113 mit Hilfe seiner Regierung auf den Weg dorthin machte, musste Akari seiner Aufmerksamkeit entgehen oder riskieren, verhaftet und in ein [Empire's Light Conversion Center] (https:\/\/robertsspaceindustries.com\/galactapedia\/article\/0KxqnXDpQ2-empires-light-conversion-centers) geworfen zu werden, weil er mit einer fremden Macht kollaborierte. Er nahm die Hilfe von Terras [Advocacy](https:\/\/robertsspaceindustries.com\/galactapedia\/article\/VDoP5pmODk-advocacy) Sektionschef Nathan Warrick in Anspruch, der Akari mit einer Gruppe von Schmugglern in Kontakt brachte, die regelm\u00e4\u00dfig Anti-Messer-Aktivisten zwischen [Bremen](https:\/\/robertsspaceindustries.com\/galactapedia\/article\/02kd45eyxe-bremen-system) und Tohil durch das unbesetzte [Nyx](https:\/\/robertsspaceindustries.com\/galactapedia\/article\/0jGxP6kpG3-nyx-system) System transportierten. Es war ein riskantes Unterfangen; Akari war st\u00e4ndig in Gefahr, von Pro-Messer-Kr\u00e4ften aufgegriffen zu werden, und Imperator Kr.\u0113 lud den Krieg mit der UEE ein, indem er Tohil \u00fcberhaupt erst betrat. Ihre gemeinsame sichere Ankunft auf Tohil III sorgte f\u00fcr eine gute Stimmung, die Akari als Motivationsfaktor f\u00fcr die Ausarbeitung des sp\u00e4teren Akari-Kr.\u0113-Vertrags ansah.\n\nAm 11. M\u00e4rz wurde der Friedensvertrag fertiggestellt und Kaiser Kr.\u0113 unterzeichnete ihn im Namen des Xi'an-Reiches. Kurz darauf brach er zum Xi'an-Hauptplaneten Ka'ua (Hyoton IV) auf, wo er die Zustimmung des [kaiserlichen](https:\/\/robertsspaceindustries.com\/galactapedia\/article\/R6v8OZOrP5-house-kree) Hauses [Rat der Drei](https:\/\/robertsspaceindustries.com\/galactapedia\/article\/Rw1DPO8v8q-council-of-three) einholen wollte. Akari machte sich auf den Weg zur Erde (Sol III) und verbreitete die Nachricht von der Existenz des Abkommens unter seinen vertrauensw\u00fcrdigen Mitarbeitern und den friedensfreundlichen Senatoren. Am 29. Mai, als Linton Messer XI und seine Schwester [Fiona](https:\/\/robertsspaceindustries.com\/galactapedia\/article\/R56nLjJog7-fiona-messer) im [Goss-System](https:\/\/robertsspaceindustries.com\/galactapedia\/article\/RxnYdDZj96-goss-system) im Urlaub waren, l\u00f6ste Akari eine Dringlichkeitssitzung des Senats aus und forderte eine sofortige Abstimmung \u00fcber den Vertrag. Da der [Imperator](https:\/\/robertsspaceindustries.com\/galactapedia\/article\/0Gz5BoJ9wl-uee-imperator) nicht anwesend war, um Widerstand zu leisten, wurde das Abkommen mit knapper Mehrheit angenommen.\n\n# HAUPTPRINZIPIEN\n1 - **Nichtangriffsabkommen:** Das Xi'an-Reich und die UEE haben sich darauf geeinigt, sich gegenseitig nicht mit Gewalt zu bedrohen oder Gewalt gegen ihr Territorium oder ihre Unabh\u00e4ngigkeit anzuwenden und im Falle eines bewaffneten Angriffs ihr Recht auf Selbstverteidigung anzuerkennen.\n\n2 - **Grenzsicherheit:** Beide Seiten versprachen, das Territorium der anderen Seite zu respektieren und ihre jeweiligen Grenzen nicht ohne Erlaubnis zu \u00fcberschreiten.\n\n3 - **Die Perry-Linie:** Das Xi'an-Reich und die UEE vereinbarten, ihre Streitkr\u00e4fte von der Perry-Linie abzuziehen.\nPolitische Fl\u00fcchtlinge. Das Xi'an-Reich erkl\u00e4rte sich bereit, menschliche Fl\u00fcchtlinge aus der UEE aufzunehmen, und Terra erkl\u00e4rte sich bereit, Ressourcen f\u00fcr ihre Versorgung bereitzustellen.\n\n4 - **Status von Terra:** Sollte die F\u00fchrung der UEE die Bedingungen des Vertrags ablehnen, w\u00fcrde das Friedensabkommen zwischen Terra und dem Xi'an-Reich bestehen bleiben.\n\n5 - **Laufzeit des Abkommens:** Die Bedingungen des Abkommens sollten auf unbestimmte Zeit gelten, es sei denn, sie w\u00fcrden gebrochen oder es k\u00e4me zu einer \u00c4nderung der Regierungsstruktur der UEE oder Xi'an.\n\n# AUSWIRKUNG\nHistoriker betrachten die Weigerung von Linton Messer XI., den Akari-Kr.\u0113-Vertrag zu ratifizieren, als den Moment, in dem die Messers ihren Einfluss auf die UEE vollst\u00e4ndig verloren. Obwohl der Imperator sich weigerte, das Abkommen zu unterzeichnen, als es auf seinem Schreibtisch eintraf, zog das Xi'an-Reich seine Streitkr\u00e4fte wie versprochen von der Perry-Linie ab und bewies damit, dass die Behauptung des Messer-Regimes, es sei das Einzige, was zwischen dem Volk und einer Xi'an-Invasion stehe, nicht stimmte. Dies und die Tatsache, dass das Regime nicht in der Lage war, den untergetauchten Akari zu verhaften, verst\u00e4rkte die \u00f6ffentliche Wahrnehmung von Linton Messer XI. als unf\u00e4higem Herrscher. Menschen, die zuvor geglaubt hatten, dass es zu riskant sei, sich gegen den Imperator zu stellen, wagten den Sprung und schlossen sich an, wodurch die Reihen der Anti-Messer-Bewegung immer gr\u00f6\u00dfer wurden.
