Just nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure...
It wouldn't be the first time in history that a large power has gone after a much smaller one, only to find the rest of their dominion getting set on fire because they weren't around to defend it.
It wouldn't even be the first time in the lore.
It wouldn't even be the first time players have done it in the game.
It wouldn't even be the first time I've done it to someone personally.
At this point it is the Mafia and the Imperial minor faction fighting through auxiliaries (us Commanders). Senator Patreus has his personal fleet, not to mention possibly the Imperial Armada to arrive on-scene. But given the situation I think that the Senator will be recalled to the Senate to inform the Emperor regarding the defeat against the Mafia.
Given that the affair is tied into the Empire's grief (and desire for vengeance) regarding the NMLA actions, I think the Empire will just scale up her efforts to seize those (presumably) involved.
Well fighting through auxiliary of auxiliaries (Keltim Empire leage) is the only reason why loosing the week-long campaign we have right now is believable possibility.
But I do not find it believable they would stop there and admitt to being defeated by rando mafia, especially not within influence sphere of Denton Patreus. I expect nothing less than escalation of the conflict if blue mafia wins this one.
That act would wipe out any potential evidence on-site.
Exactly. You can't be proved wrong if there's nothing to prove (disclaimer: may or may not hold up in court)
I think we are better off finding solid evidence regarding Liz' potential involvement(s) with the NMLA terrorists.
Just make some up then! Where's the imagination?!
That one I don't know. I have been collecting missions to kill the mafia guys that I use to supplement the meager pay (if any) that will come from the work.
Anyone notice that you go to fight for this group but if that battle is lost you lose a bit of faction with the mafia (expected) but huge loss with the empire. As if its your fault.
You could, potentially, put your neck on the line for these people and come out being hated for helping them. I don't expect a faction gain for losing a battle, but a huge loss seems vietnamy.

As if we'd stoop that low.
I haven't got a dog in this fight but I dunno, indentured servitude is pretty low...
I'm sure you could quickly knock up a dodgy dossier...
Much easier to get a confession hey? Then its all open and shut, a nice confession would end it all?
Wonders how long Lyz would be in for 'questioning' before she confesses....
So did the analysis prove any point?
Not close enough to fight for EBM, but if I was I surely would...
(Only another 16KLy in the carrier - I may make it before it is all over )

)As long as the Imperial Authorities deem nessecary to verify her potential involvement.
I think it's very likely that Liz made the bombs. She's an arms-dealer, that's what she does. But that wouldn't make her an NMLA member or sympathiser.
As for the Blue Mafia, the only real evidence against them is "suspicious ship movements". They're a mafia, they are very much into suspicious ship movements. But not likely to be idealistic enough to knowingly ally themselves with the NMLA. They might have been hired to transport a "package", however.
I suspect that the Empire aren't the only ones investigating this. Both Liz and the Blue Mafia will be asking questions too.

On the contrary.
Doing it through a proxy like the Keltim Empire league - who weren't even the most influential imperial faction in Eurybia at the outset of the conflict - gives the higher-ups in the empire the perfect excuse to wash their hands of the matter if things don't go as planned. If the "rando mafia" defeats them, then Patreus gets to just shrug his shoulders and say that obviously his underlings weren't up to the task, the failure was theirs. Maybe even a "you have disappointed me for the last time" for whoever's in charge of KEL.
If KEL loses, it's KEL's failure. If Patreus himself got directly involved and things didn't run smoothly, then he'd be the one to have to answer for it to the emperor.

Except the topic of NMLA is a tad too big one to shrug it off so easilly. If lyz is suspect and the force sent to get her fails in the task, considering the events preceeding the campaign, shrugging of that "well underlings were not up to the task" is not a believable option. They will just sent stronger underlings to do what the weaker underlings failed to do. And to show the rando mafia to not think they can win against the empire.
No, that's Winters thing, sorry.
