The standoff lasted for over twenty Galaxy Days, drawing media from neighboring countries and becoming the most talked-about topic in both the Internet spheres of the Wind Empire and the Nonar United Kingdom.
The Wind Empire Fleet, holding the advantage, did not take the initiative to attack, and the Nonar United Kingdom fleet dared not make a rash move.
Meanwhile, the Wind Empire's envoy had already met with the high-level delegation from the Nonar United Kingdom, and it seemed both sides could engage in peace talks. The Nonar United Kingdom laid down a series of harsh demands, including but not limited to joint development of the T204 Resource Star.
The Wind envoy naturally refused to comply, but orders came from Edwan back home.
They could agree to all conditions except for the joint development.
This was a reluctant choice made by Edwan, as he saw the shadow of the Empire behind the unusual actions of the Nonar United Kingdom.
