[X] The Closest Border
-
-
-[X] 26 Enio holds the key to the Badlands, and whichever side possesses it can hide activity in the sensor shadow of that area freely. Defensively speaking it the key installation in preventing strategic surprise going forward. It would also keep the border shorter and avoid protruding/intruding subsectors.
-
-
-[X] Much like Athos V has done much for our relationship with the Romulans, shared research colonies, outposts, or stations with Pact species within the DMZ could do a lot for thawing relations going forward. Much like the Themis deal, the more that can be done to relax or create exceptions to the "no contact" rule the better.

[X] Starfleet concerns:
-
-
[X] Have total faith in the Council.
-
-
-[X] Secure a route allowing continued coreward exploration without needing to rely on the ISC granting passage (try to get the coreward-tailward half of Opal, or at least the coreward-tailward corner).
-
-
-[X] Keep the border defensible and short (prefer diagonal splits to protruding or intruding subsectors). If any part of Enio needs to be surrendered try to at least keep the rimward-tailward half.
-
-
[X] Don't let your eagerness for peace blind you to the opportunities presented by our strong bargaining position.
-
-
-[X] Also, the DMZ should be much smaller than the Romulan Neutral Zone. The Cardassians don't psychologically need a ridiculously huge one the way the Romulans apparently did.
