Capella, February, 3053 Palace spokesman Maurice Chong Ravel today announced that the Capellan Confederation has granted a contract to ComStar, a contract which limits Com Guard presence to worlds agreed upon by both the Capellans and the Com Guard. It's odd that those worlds all border the St Ives Compact, the Federated Suns, and the Periphery States. ComStar inserted a clause limiting these troops to action against units of the Clans, with strict neutrality against troops from, say, the Inner Sphere or Periphery States. The Precentor Martial, Anastasius Focht, personally travelled to Capella to take part in these negotiations. Com Guard personnel captured during Operation Scorpion are still being held as 'prisoners of the state' despite protests from Primus Mori and Precentor Martial Focht. The agreement includes service of the HPG facilities on all Capellan worlds, and is only until 3056. Four years should expire at about the time Chancellor Sun Tsu Liao marries Isis Marik, heiress apparent of the Free Worlds League.
