The Council of Truth acts as a political governing body for the clans, allowing it to present a unified clan front in dealings with Omni-Tek and other entities. | The Council of Truth acts as a political governing body for the clans, allowing it to present a unified clan front in dealings with Omni-Tek and other entities. | ||

| − | As the situation escalated and clan troops closed in on Omni-1, a 90-day ceasefire was signed. With the intervention of the ICC, on July 5th 29,470 the CoT and OT signed the [[Tir Accord]] which brought about a permanent ceasefire and territorial settlement. Some clans viewed this as concession to corporate demands, and [[Simon Silverstone]] declared the CoT traitors to the clan cause. The Sentinels cut their ties with the CoT and were promptly joined by a number of extremist clans. The CoT assured OT that they will do all they can to curtail military actions by clan-affiliated separatists, and eventually the CoT succeeded in bringing in the majority of the separatist clans in for talks. This led to the Tir Accords Addendum, and though OT abandoned its operations in northern Rubi-Ka, the clans never officially gained independence. | + | As the situation escalated and clan troops closed in on [[Omni-1]], a 90-day ceasefire was signed.

| − | Though scattered incidences of conflict between rogue clans and OT still took place, a fragile peace held. In hopes of a lasting peace, Philip Ross offered [[Unconditional Amnesty]] for clan-affiliated citizens. The Amnesty was met with skepticism by the clans, and placed much pressure on the Council of Truth to offer an official statement. The CoT was criticized for a long silence, and various clan factions broke ties with the council. Three weeks after the Amnesty was announced, Radiman called a summit of unaffiliated clans to hear the opinions of those outside the council. Some time after the meeting, the Council of Truth acknowledged the amnesty and voted for peace talks with Omni-Tek. | + | Though scattered incidences of conflict between rogue clans and OT still took place, a fragile peace held.

As before, scattered incidences of violence and conflict led to a break down of communication, with talks being officially halted in January of 29,476. The Council of Truth maintained the talks were terminated by Omni-Tek and that the council wished to continue. An attack on Omni-1, later shown to be the work of the Dust Brigade, contributed to further tension between the two parties. Matters escalated as clan citizens reacted with violence to the CoT-supported presence of Omni-Pol in [[Sabulum]], ending the amnesty. | As before, scattered incidences of violence and conflict led to a break down of communication, with talks being officially halted in January of 29,476.
