At least the honorable Staznagorian ambassador has chosen to reply to the Hyperion grievances. 
The issue is your blatant disregard for our wishes concerning Uranium! Do you deny that we did, in fact, state that Uranium was off-limits to colonization? We allowed some mingling of colonies, as you wished, with safe distances allowed for our need to feel secure. We have safely and honorably performed some limited trading to our mutual benefit. All these things we acknowledge and have been proud to participate.
But this new colony on Uranium is intolerable to us. We desire its removal immediately. We have claimed mining rights to this world, and Himshaw as well, since our initial communications.
The fact that we have a hyena to our West, not to be confused with the honorable one to our East, does not change matters in the least. For the sake of our continued cooperation, we ask that you honorably remove your colony without any further conversation.

The Staznagorian ambassador replies:
We have asked the population of Uranium if they would be willing to relocate, but they have decided that they would prefer to remain as the weather there is quite nice and there is little overcrowding.
The ambassador goes on to note:
The Staznagorian government is obviously keen to maintain good relations with the Hyperions, and hopes that this incident does not become an impediment to that. They have confidence that, in the light of current events, the Hyperions also realise that a deterioration in diplomatic relations between our nations would not be advantageous to the Hyperion cause.
With regard to the mining rights to the planet, would you be willing to discuss a mineral tax instead ?
