If you dismiss what the NPO is saying, then you can quite clearly see that the NPO terminated the treaty with St. Abbaddon so that they could successfully transition the delegacy of The Pacific within the timeframe that their Consul required. If the military force that is in St. Abbaddon stays there under those treaty obligations, then East Durthang is not the delegate of the Pacific today.
There is the NPO's narrative, and then there is the logistical reality of the situation. The NPO was strong-armed into choosing between its protectorate and its delegacy, chose its delegacy, but would have us all believe it could have had both if it wanted.
Except that my views on the holding of UCR protectorates can be validated by your own sides leak of the Red Phone logs from as early as 2017. So...
Also, the transition was reliant on the level of Influence, not endorsements. The Pacific would be safe with 100 endorsements on the Delegate nation and active ROs.
