The crisis was resolved in January 1985 after the signing of the Treaty of An Bhá nan Éirith Ghréine, which set out that both parties would call back their spies and intelligence agents in each other's countries, and that from that point on the CIA and the SCISS would cooperate more strongly. The government of the Seafaring Confederation pardoned the remaining 18 caught American spies and returned them to the United States; the U.S. had not caught any of the Seafaring spies, who returned to the Seafaring Confederation and were deployed elsewhere.
