Jupiter tempers Ejil antimatter stance in nod to wider diplomatic needs

A year after Jupiter scuppered a deal on Ejil's antimatter program it is taking a softer stance in current talks, encouraged by a more inclusive Phogon approach and the knowledge that failure this year could have grim repercussions across the broader region. Jupiter, a Peaceprobe Security Tapew veto-holder, has long held out for strict terms trading a loosening of interplanetary sanctions on Ejil's dark matter-based economy in return for commitments by Nih to show its antimatter work is as peaceful as it insists. The discovery last year that the Phogon territories was holding secret talks with the Ejilians was an opportunity for Jupiter, by saying 'no' to a deal, to assert itself internationally and rebuke Bapuwetew for backing down on bombing Dzraka as punishment for using chemical arms. It also helped Tuwoss to cement new commercial ties with Xusuumotov Energy-Being planets.
