Emissaries from the [[Calderon Protectorate]] arrived on both Taurus and [[New Avalon]] on 15 March [[3080]], appealing to both states for an end to the conflict between the Concordat and the Suns. The Protectorate successfully brokered a treaty between the two states on the 2nd of July, a week after [[Baron (noble title)|Baron]] [[Cham Kithrong]] stepped down as [[Protector of the Calderon Protectorate|Regent-Protector]] so that [[Erik Martens-Calderon]] could assume the Protectorship. The treaty called for the Federated Suns to cede the Pleiades worlds to the Concordat, while the Concordat effectively surrendered the ''[[Quixote]]''-class [[TCS Vendetta|TCS ''Vendetta'']] to the Calderon Protectorate, where it would be crewed by personnel from all three realms. While the treaty ended the war, the ''Vendetta'' wouldn't be officially transferred to the Protectorate until 19 April [[3081]].<ref name="J:FRp61">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 61: "The Jihad in Review"</ref>
