Cannon has not been the only ones leading the march this whole time. We have as well, we're just smaller and more humane. We're not your typical corporate giant laboratory that cares more about pleasing grant writers than obtaining clean facts without harming or damaging any beings or samples. Due to Cannon's bloated size they lack the finesse required to achieve similar insights without having to destroy several lives in the process. How many Federation pilots did they kill in pursuit of their research? How many probes did they torture to death?
Cannon has not and is not the only actor on the stage, we unfortunately do not have the budget for such massive PR as them being poor miners from Leonard Nimoy Station in LHS 3006 who simply wanted peace and science conducted while remembering our human side. We didn't need to butcher anything to achieve our results and when they get the credit for something that was discovered peacefully then it skews the result and creates a bad air about "Mother" all together. Look above some even believe they are enemies due to what Cannon has put out there.
This was a Vulcan find thanks to McJamz.

And trust us, we are aware of who found it and in time will be aware that he isn't from Cannon. However, the video they used probably fit better with them because and came of as more a documentarian/research type of video. Canonnn, wishes no harm on any of these things and in fact a strongly against taking any actions against the ships until more is known. Yes there was harvesting of meta alloys, but you can blame Canonn for doing what must be done in the name of science. We don't know if there is a connection between ships and UA's and UP's. However scientists need to study and the only way to properly study these things were to have specimens to study. Well, unfortunately those specimens damage ships, so we needed a way to protect ourselves and sadly the only way FDev let us do that was making us use meta-alloys. So we really were left with no other option then to shoot those meta-alloys. Now sometimes in science a few eggs need to be broken. But ultimately the goal of Canonn is to be peaceful in all things, hell we have first contact protocols. We don't shoot first, now does that mean everybody adheres, no. But those that don't adhere aren't trully following the spirit of Canonn. Again, nobody is trying to take the discovery away from you guys, it's just perhaps you need to up your game in the notoriety department and video creation department.
