The Demilitarized Zone
The Demilitarized zone or DMZ is a section of space comprising of 25 star systems between the Osean Republics and the Yuktobonian Republics. Both have claim to the area. According to the treaty which was signed in 2217, neither side was permitted to deploy armed starships, or establish military bases in the Zone. In addition, the border between the two powers was redrawn, such as that ownership of several colonies was exchanged both ways – some Osean colonies were transferred to Yuktobonian control, and vice-versa. The colonists on the affected planets were given the option of resettlement, though most refused.
However, many civilian colonists on both sides of the border objected to the transfer of control and secretly armed themselves, violating the peace terms that established the DMZ. These colonist became what is now known as the Union De Corse.
