Today, Antares celebrates the seven-year anniversary of Victory Day, the declaration that no Shivan forces remained in the system. The destruction of the SD Demiurge by the GTD Minnow and PVC Assurance was an important step in cleaning up after the destruction of the SD Lucifer, and the official start of Antares' post-war reconstruction. In a surprising turn of events, the Antares Federation's embattled Interior Secretary, Kalev Ehin, was chosen to give the remembrance address, which the Allied embassy in Antares described as contemplative, respectful, and apolitical. Some have speculated that Ehin has been trying to realign himself with Antares' growing moderate party, which has made increased trade and cooperation with the GTA a central piece of its platform. If so, Ehin's speech may be an attempt to distance himself from his previous firebrand rhetoric, which is widely regarded as a key factor in the uprising. Others argue that Ehin may be trying to avoid censure, or that his speech was motivated simply by personal reasons.
