Nearly two years later, on the 1st of May 3075, the Magistracy along with the Capellan Confederation and Duchy of Andurien signed a nonaggression pact guaranteeing cooperation between the three states.[7]) On the 3rd of August of the same year, Naomi Centrella (now acting Magestrix) returned to Canopus IV at the head of another joint MAF-CCAF task force that was able to reclaim the planet, driving the Word of Blake off-world. On the 5th of September, Naomi formally returned to the ruins of Crimson, in a symbolic reinstatement of herself as Magestrix.[8][9]
