I'm happy to present this treaty with The New Galactic Empire for ratification by the Deshret. I should also note that negotiation of this treaty has been spearheaded by Treize Dreizehn, my Vizier and Scribe of Foreign Affairs, and I thank him for his efforts.

As the guy who negotiated on behalf of TNGE and wrote something like 90-95% of it I can say that I fully support it.
