The encounter was peaceful with the Ohanze being more curious than anything else. Captain Nasduva made note of the fact that their vessels like them were on the large side with extensive defensive systems. | ||
In 2232 the first Federation colony was founded in the Shoals on [[Meridian]]. This was followed by 4 more within the next 50 years, at which time they founded the [[Colonial Coalition]] to serve as a unified government. Prior to this the various different colonies had to deal with each different tribe or clan leader. Unfortunately the main reason for this change of policy was the mounting tension between the colonists and the Ohanze. | |||
As a result of this the purely ceremonial council of the Ohanze called the Circle of Five Suns underwent a radical change in order to meet the needs of a major Federation diplomatic mission that arrived to try and establish more long term and cohesive terms for the region. It took almost 17 years but eventually a unified Treaty of Friendship was signed in 2321. | |||

The Circle of Five Suns was a largely ceremonial body that has become more used for the Ohanze in their dealings with the Federation in the last century. Although the Treaty of Friendship signed in 2327 contributed greatly to improving relations between the Federation and the Ohanze, pirate factions of course paid no attention to the document, and the Black Sun Tribe has only a token representative selected from the small Black Sun community that joined sympathetic Blue Sun Tribe in legitimate trade. | The Circle of Five Suns was a largely ceremonial body that has become more used for the Ohanze in their dealings with the Federation in the last century.

===The Treaty of Friendship=== | |||
Before a formal treaty was finally signed between the Circle of Five Suns and the Federation, diplomatic relations were handled between colonists and each individual tribe or even between colonists and individual clan leaders. The objective of this treaty was to establish a guideline of acceptable agreements that would allow the colonists and the Ohanze to exist in close proximity peacefully. | |||
