Luthien, October, 3052 After three weeks of intense negotiations, ComStar and the Draconis Combine have made public a new agreement. A ten- year service contract has been signed for the maintenance of the HPG stations, Com Guard presence has been limited to one lance of 'Mechs OR equivalent in armored troops per HPG facility. This barely represents enough troops for an honor guard, not the two companies ComStar used to consider a bare minimum. A full listing of ComGuard troops is to be provided to the DCMS. ComGuard troops are committed specifically to defending the systems they occupy against any action by any Clans forces. The Precentor Martial, Anastasius Focht, personally travelled to Luthien to take part in these negotiations.
