The '''Omsol Accord''' was a treaty signed between the [[Federated Suns]] and the [[Taurian Concordat]].  The treaty was signed in [[2511]] to avert conflict over mining rights to the titanium-rich moon Fontana, located within the [[Malagrotta]] system.  The treaty allowed both parties to mine the moon independently, and prohibited the deployment of either the [[AFFS]] or the [[TDF]] within the system.
  
One of the very few times a resolution was made without military force during the [[Age of War]], the '''Omsol Accord''' was a treaty signed between the [[Federated Suns]] and the [[Taurian Concordat]] giving both nations shared mining rights to the titanium-rich moon Fontana, located within the [[Malagrotta]] system.

The treaty was broken in [[2573]], when a fleet of 4 Taurian warships inadvertently passed into the system on maneuvers.  [[Davion]]-loyal miners sent out a distress summons, and a [[Federated Suns]] fleet, waiting for an opening to attack the Taurians, moved in system.  The Taurians lost 3 ships, and later apologized for the incident, but the [[Star League]] used the incident as justification to invade the Concord as part of the [[Reunification War]].

In [[2499]] the [[Taurian Concordat]] explored the [[Malagrotta]] star system and discovered on one of the moons orbiting the gas giant DeeCee was tremendously rich in titanium.  But right on their heels came a Davion exploratory mission in the same system.  Though colonized first by the Taurians, in an attempt to stave off an armed conflict for the system between the two nations, independent mining rights to the moon of Fontana were granted to both Taurian and [[House Davion|Davion]] mining concerns while prohibiting the  deployment of either the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] or the [[Taurian Defense Force]] within the system. <ref name=FMP-47>''Field Manual: Periphery'', p. 47</ref> <ref name=P-20>''The Periphery'', p. 23</ref> <ref name=SL44>''The Star League'', p. 44</ref>
 
  
Each realm's mining operations were both successful for more than 60 years until the treaty was broken in [[2573]] during the tensions leading to the  [[Reunification War]] in what would be later known as the [[Malagrotta Affair]]. A fleet of five Taurian [[WarShip]]s suffering communications problems approached Davion mining colonies<ref>''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 19</ref>, prompting the Davion miners to warn a nearby FedSun fleet. The larger Davion fleet was waiting for an opportunity to attack the Taurians, and as the Taurian vessels orbited the moon, they jumped in and attacked. The Taurians lost three ships, and later apologized for the incident, but the [[Star League]] would use it as justification to invade the Concordat as part of the [[Reunification War]]. <ref name=FMP-47/> <ref name=P-20/> <ref name=SL44/>
