The '''New Earth Peace Summit''' was a failed attempt by the [[Successor States]] to end the [[Second Succession War]] with a formal peace treaty.

==History==
As the Second Succession War wound down due to mutual exhaustion, [[Archon of the Lyran Commonwealth|Archon]] [[Elizabeth Steiner]] contacted both of the [[Lyran Commonwealth|Lyran Commonwealth's]] neighboring enemies regarding negotiations for an official peace treaty. The [[Free Worlds League]] was agreeable enough to start the process, and from this beginning a peace summit was organized on [[New Earth]] with delegates from all five Great Houses. Beginning on 9 November [[2864]], the initially promising talks foundered due to each state's intransigent demands, such as the return of all conquered worlds, and the mutual hostility between various delegates. By the end of the year the peace summit had resulted in failure, with the delegates departing for home and each blaming the other parties for the breakdown. In later years it was also suggested that [[ComStar]] had deliberately sabotaged the talks so as to keep the Successor States on their road to eventual collapse.<ref name=HMp36>''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 36</ref> <ref>''Second Succession War'', p. 85</ref>
