Lakon is not jumping out of an aircraft. They are being rescued from financial distressFDev, as you might be aware, are in the UK, and using "bale" is acceptable there.

Ahh, Mourinho's patented "happy" face
I heard....he manages a Club
He's certainly special. In the traditional sense....
Be realistic, it's Lakon, so more likely the Alliance Covenanter
How do we know hay wasn't involved?
I thought the Alliance had no money?
Alliance Matilda.
So all of this makes no actual in game change.
The new capital ship will be an Alliance Salad Bar.
I guess they went laser mining.
I guess the Oxford English Dictionary isn't free, but... the irony...FDev, as you might be aware, are in the UK, and using "bale" is acceptable there.

Actually, it would be bales(sic), since bales is what's in the actual galnet headline.

Bales out. I'm presuming with a pitchfork.

Are you being obtuse on purpose? See the second definition.
": to leave or escape a harmful or difficult situation
Most investors have baled out of the business."
Yeeeeeah... given how "bales" is used in the headline, that definition doesn't make sense.
"Alliance bales out lakon spaceways" using that definition makes it sound like it's missing an "of", and is meant to read that the Alliance has escaped a difficult situation by leaving lakon for dead. I.e it makes it sound like the Alliance is escaping the difficult situation, not lakon.
