I see, interesting view there, one I personally don't hold to, nor do I believe does the Emperor, current or past from my perusal of Imperial history. Is the President also responsible for the acts of his people I wonder? Probably not, corporations don't work that way do they?
How did they manage to sell UA's at Rhea I wonder? And in Sol of all places! And you think YOU can speak to anyone of honor? Seriously? And it's funny that you don't blame Sirius even though they CONTINUED their 'experiments' even after they already knew what the result would be, but I guess that since it wasn't Fedrat space, those places and people don't actually matter to you do they? Or to Sirius either it would seem, since they are very clearly placing Fedrat stations as their primary places to repair what was done when a 'fix' is found, over the non-Fedrat stations they 'experimented' on long before Rhea and Harma first reported problems. Oh how nice of them, to forget the people they PERSONALLY put in harms way over the Fedrat citizens.
And people think that Sirius doesn't have any real ties to the Fedrats?
non-rp : this is some great stuff, I had no idea people were bombing with those UAs! Thanks for the links to the reddit btw, nice to see the full story including the [REDACTED]. Never would have thought to do that UA bombing myself, damn, some seriously twisted and sick individuals in that group, I need to see about applying!
ooc: Thanks
. This next bit is important to note though, Sirius inc is real people having fun playing a game making use of an in game mechanic to roleplay research scientists. The original piece was full of all the vitriolic federal milspeak one would expect from a militarised PMC group such as Hudson. I consulted with folks from Sirius .gov and Sirius inc before I published it rather than just including them in a reddit powerplay activity without their knowledge or consent. We agreed that in order to reduce the possibility of in game (bgs attacks) or irl (reddit personal attacks, etc) fallout the language was toned down and names removed from the reddit quotes, etc and moderaters of each sub were told to make sure everybody "played nice". That's why there's a "happy ending" of sorts in regards to Sirius inc and the Federation. As the new "diplomat" for Hudson I'm trying to foster a better "out of game" and "out of character" relationship with any group the Hudson reddit interacts with. That said, in regards to power play if your power is on our hostile list in game, look out!
official Federation reponse:
The Federation is constantly bombarded with Imperial propaganda messages loaded with talk of "Imperial honour, Imperial sense of duty, Imperial loyalty to the Emperor". The Federation has condemned all these actions of xenoterrorism regardless of where they occurred as the investigation and pursuit involved demonstrates.
The Federation considers the use of UAs outside legal research purposes to be effectively aiding and abetting what holds to be the greatest threat humanity has ever faced and a betrayal of our species.
Now that it is clear that the work of Sirius inc, though still deemed xenoterrorism by the Federation as defined by it's effects on the citizens of the stations and outposts was intended as research, however misguided and malignant the Federation considers this.
Further investigations into the shutdown at Carter Port revealed that it was the result of a deliberate act of imperial citizens holding military rank and status in the personal faction of Arissa Lavigny Duval, The Emperor and a confession to this act of xenoterrorism was obtained. This confession has clearly shown these reprehensible acts against innocent civilians were intended as acts of war.
New events in space occupied by the personal faction of Archon Delaine have come to light that once again imperial citizens holding military rank and status in the personal faction of Arissa Lavigny Duval, The Emperor unashamedly engaged in subjecting the civilians of the Harma system to xenological warfare attacks via UA bombing with weaponized UAs intended as acts of war.
Where is the much touted code of the Empire now? Where is the universal Imperial condemnation of these acts that betray humanity itself by deliberately spreading further amongst us the weapons and spying tools of an alien threat? Where is the universal Imperial condemnation of the xenoterrorist elements within the Emperor's own House? Where is the Honour of the Empire now? It lies in the dust for all to see.
CMDR Reiga of the personal faction of Senator Denton Patreus and CMDR Blain Crichton of the Angeli Imperial clearly seem to be the only ones amongst you thus far for whom honour is more than just words or a fashion accessory and they condemn these acts for what they are. o7
