Communications Officer, The Homestead Accord

(Borealis 29488) - The Homestead Accord, a collaborative effort by and for Neutral colonists, today announced that they were accepting applications for membership. The organization aims to protect Neutral interests by providing a network for communication and collaboration among Neutrals, in addition to offering additional measures of privacy and legal aid to its members.

The organization's president, Aldebaran "Krisanthe" Fairchild, further explained the group's goals, saying, "As Neutral citizens, it is our duty to ensure that the ongoing conflicts on our home planet don't further damage the global economy. Neutral commerce suffers unjustly during periods of unrest, and there's often animosity toward Neutrals from both sides. We want to eliminate that, and allow commerce to flourish, improving the economy for everyone."

When asked about potential conflicts with other Neutral organizations, including the historically outspoken Newland City Council, Fairchild added, "We're not here to create any conflict there. I know Mayor King and the Newland City Council have the best interests of Newland Citizens at heart, as do we, and I hope we can work together for the benefit of all our colonists."
