Because he accuses the Federation of being corrupt and is a massive embarrasement for them? I'm sure they consider Delaine to be a "ruthless tyrant" as well but you didn't see the Federation bothering to try and capture him at the Summit.
CG predictions...

A dictators accusations would ring a bit hollow- if Grom felt so why did he not go the Marlinist way and found a 'pure' Federation?
Would be an interesting CG.
Well, to be exact he resigned on "ideological grounds", which could cover a lot more than just corruption. It's just "believed" in the Codex that he was disgusted by the corruption, but that seems pretty likely given the rest of his behaviour.
Regardless of his beliefs, he's a problem for the Federation. Although, speaking of corruption, I suppose Sirius were fine with Delaine being at the Summit, so maybe Hudson didn't want to upset them...
Now the fun thing FD could do is actually have a situation where Grom has something on the Feds
Who's to say he doesn't? The Federation are treating him more harshly than Delaine.Now the fun thing FD could do is actually have a situation where Grom has something on the Feds
But Delaines a Pirate King, not an Ex Fed though.
Transfer of ownership of the system seems to have been through normal BGS channels a couple of weeks ago.
Which is interesting since writing about BGS effects was always off- limits for community galnet submissions because "it's just the BGS" and "that's what the local news feeds do"
I think it was really a case of the convergence of lore / character / place and immediate story really.
BGS writing was off the table for player submissions because it rarely had that overlap- there were hundreds of wars going on but only a few in places that were deemed important.
We have stories about Marlinist BGS changes, this etc because it matches up. A war in HG001_01981 over a tin shack does not have that 'public interest' so to speak. There were many submissions I helped with in these cases (and a few, depending on the day) did get published too- but it was always an uphill struggle to keep it fresh (since it could be war after war after war).
AMBASSADOR CONDEMNS ENTRAPMENT OF YURI GROM
04 OCT 3307The Federal Diplomatic Corps has officially denounced President Hudson’s attempt to capture Yuri Grom in the Delta Pavonis system.
The political conference was to determine whether the system’s ruling faction would ally with the EG Union or the Federation. It was abandoned when a Federal black ops team attempted to arrest Yuri Grom’s delegation, triggering a conflict in the system.
Ambassador Delphine Dumont told The Federal Times:
“We have no option but to state that our own government has violated the conventions of diplomatic immunity. This conference was established in good faith with all parties. We were not informed that any hostile act against EG Union was planned.”
“I offer my personal apologies to Yuri Grom. Our negotiations were spirited but honest, and I genuinely felt that progress was being made.”
This is the first time that the Federal Diplomatic Corps has distanced itself from the actions of a sitting president. Political observers believe that this is to maintain its reputation for integrity, especially in dealings with the Alliance and Empire.
Public reaction in the Federation has been varied, with President Zachary Hudson being praised and criticised in equal measure. Insiders within his administration suggest that he is under enormous pressure to regain popularity, following the recent rebellion of several Federal systems.
I wonder what former President Halsey, currently of the Federal Diplomatic Corps, thinks of all this.Let me fix that headline:
“Federal Ambassador throws President Hudson under bus”
More popcorn, please!
Other than pointing and laughing, I mean.

Those who actually read the lore knew even before all of this that the Fednecks are unlikeable... unlike our fabulous Empire basks in its glory
This is kind of getting silly now.
No. MORE! At least until even the last Fedneck lover finally understood that the Federation are not "good guys"... and there are still too many left.
"This will never end 'cause I want more... more, give me more, GIVE ME MORE!"
