Trade Federation citizens flooded the streets as the Royal Hapan Delegation,
accompanied by Trade Federation leaders Chunbacca Khan, Toran Slisik, and
Nereus Eruresto, was given a tour of the Capital city of Forsetti on Vinsoth
from Pnath shuttles flying through the atmosphere. The Royal Delegation was
invited by the Trade Federation as a preliminary to the upcoming military
excercises between the two groups. The military excercises are designed to
not only aid in the training of the two Navies, but also to provide the
Trade Federation a chance to test out some of its new prototypes for future
technology in a military setting. Rumors of the nature of these prototypes
have been flying, but no details have been officially released.

The Trade Federation citizens welcomed the Royal Delegation and Trade
Federation convoy with cheers at all locations during the tour, showcasing
the Trade Federation's newest technology and the fine sites of Vinsoth.
Trade Federation officials were pleased with the excellent precision with
which the Droid Commanders led their battalions in the parade. Techno Union
leader Larbac Darkclaw accompanied the delegation through a walking
holo-transmitter throughout the entire tour.

The meeting between the two leaderships of the long-time friendly CMGs
sparked conversation of expanding alliances between the two groups to ensure
the safety and prosperity of both. Historically, the Trade Federation and
Hapes Consortium have been the most steadfast in maintaining a healthy
neautrality in galactic conflicts. It is because of this mutual dedication
to neutrality, that the mutual interest in maintaining and discussing the
furthering of the relationship between the two Governments exists, claims
officials.

Trade Federation officials have already begun planning accompanying the
Royal Delegation for a tour of Lorell in the near future, where it is
assumed, more discussions will take place.
