Olbani Concession

The Olbani Concession is a failed peace proposal from the General-Secretary Olbani of the Earth Alliance to PLANT aimed to bring an end the First Alliance-PLANT War.

History[]

As the First Alliance-PLANT War had been dragging on for over a year, the Alliance had yet been able to make any notable progress, and were facing great difficulties combating ZAFT's offensive. In an effort to break this deadlock and end a war with no end in sight, certain parts of the Earth Alliance, among them General-Secretary Olbani, proposed a set of terms for ending the war. The message was relayed to PLANT by Reverend Malchio who was trusted by both PLANT and the Earth Alliance as a neutral envoy, and Malchio relayed this information to PLANT's former Supreme Chairman, Siegel Clyne.^[1]

The terms of the Olbani Concession promised a certain degree of autonomy for PLANT, but the other terms of the concession, such as colonies still falling under the control of the Alliance nations that constructed them, was no different from the situation before the war. This was seen as unsatisactory by PLANT Supreme Council and was rejected, despite Siegel Clyne and his allies trying to convince the Council that PLANT doesn't need to accept these terms as is, and can be renegotiated as an alternative to war. The concession was seen by the council as a one-sided demand by Alliance that could barely be called "concession". Another concern by the Supreme Council was that Olbani and his political allies, despite his best intentions, didn't represent the entire Earth Alliance.^[1]
