Shipping disputes between Amadioha and Tind
Military actionAmadioha deploys a squadron of destroyers purchased from Skalnaté and begins harrassing Tind commercial shipping between Graiorn and the Audette Nexus.

Tind and Wrence complain to the Table that Nouveau Picard is 'aiding and abetting' the 'lawless' Amadhi squadron. Amadioha claims Ponal ships fired first and they were acting defensively. -

The Alamak Decision
Civil actionThe Judicar Chamber, having sat on the case for nearly two years, finally returns a Finding that Alamak's actions were "non-hostile" and the Table's indemnity award will stand as given.

The Discourse reached its Thesis in 2673, in the form of the Tangrish Agreement. The signing of the Agreement by the Tellurian Federation, the Axis worlds, and the Vegan Colonial Union officially brought armed hostilities in the matter of the Cordini Rebellion to an end. The end of hostilities provided the Interstellar Clearinghouse Academy with the justification needed for recognizing the Cordini Axis as an Entity-in-Being. -
2687 S.E.
Cordini Axis Recognized by the Alliance of Vegan Republics
Diplomatic actionAlthough it had signed the Tangrish Agreement, the Vegan Colonial Union declined to officially recognize the Cordini Axis. This was rectified fourteen years later after the reworking of the VCU Framework and its reconstitution as the Alliance of Vegan Republics. In 2687 formal recognition was officially accorded to the Cordini Axis by the AVR Steering Committee, and diplomatic relations were established between the two entities, bringing a final and official end to the Rebellion.
