[Kietrax]

Summary

System: T Tauri​

Station: Musashi (Megaship, large pads available, 1,618 Ls from main star, 595.22 Ly from Sol)​

Objective: Hand in Combat Bonds after fighting for Aegis Defence in Conflict Zones​

Time limit: 18^th November 3307 @ 06:00 UTC​

Description

The megaship Musashi is commanded by Aegis’s chief military liaison Admiral Aden Tanner, who made this announcement:​

The Hind Mine asteroid base contains proof that Salvation’s unlicensed anti-xeno weapon is intentionally designed to provoke the Thargoids, and therefore endangers us all. As Taurus Mining Ventures refuses to cooperate, we have no choice but to obtain the evidence by force.
This may be our only opportunity to discover Salvation’s true ambitions. I urge all independent pilots who have fought alongside Aegis to help us complete this vital mission.

Admiral Aden Tanner has asked pilots to support his efforts by handing in Combat Bonds at the megaship Musashi in the T Tauri system.​

​

The two factions have set out seven-day campaigns, which will end when the top tier is reached or early on Thursday the 18^th of November 3307.​

​

To be eligible for rewards, you must sign up as an active participant before handing in Combat Bonds at the megaship Musashi in the T Tauri system.​

​

Please note that if you have any crew members, a proportion of your combat bonds will be automatically assigned to them. These combat bonds will not count towards your personal contribution total, and your crew will receive the reward for these combat bonds when they are handed in. The proportion of combat bonds assigned to your crew will depend on their rank.​

​

Be aware that faction-state changes and other disruptive events can negatively impact markets and station services, and could prevent the initiative from running smoothly.​

Uncovering information on Salvation but having to trust that Aegis won't simply take this weapon for themselves. Tough call.

 

[maehara]

Salvation: uses weapons themselves, refuses to share them with CMDRs
Aegis: refuses to use weapons themselves, habitually shares them with CMDRs

Take your pick.

 

[angusmadmac1]

Ahhh Aegis is just sore that someone is poking the hornets nest more than they are and losing money on it

 

[Rubbernuke]

Salvation: hides weapons in boxes of paracetamol and says 'trust me!'

AEGIS might be a corpo but at least its not run by a singular entity that could go mental at any minute.

He says as Tanner goes rogue and starts threatening a bunch of miners ....

 

[maehara]

Still not ruling out the idea that "Salvation" is just the name used by the Guardian AI. Which wouldn't necessarily be singular...

 

[Ashnak]

If I may quote Factabulous' quote of Galnet here:

AEGIS RENEGADES ATTACK SALVATION’S ALLIES​

11 NOV 3307
Pilots’ Federation ALERT
A rogue Aegis Defense force has initiated conflict with Taurus Mining Ventures in the T Tauri system.

Tanner has been officially disowned by Aegis.
But I'm pretty sure that, should he win, Aegis will still get whatever is to be found here. If he loses, he'll be left out to dry... on a nice little 5-star resort somewhere. I doubt his pilots will get the same benefits, though.

 

[Rubbernuke]

True But Salvation has the keys and will to use alien technology to wage war and is not afraid to do it. There might come a day where Salvation cares less for human casualties than killing Thargoids- smuggling weapons in medicines is not a balanced way to deploy what could be another bioweapon.

Salvation is Zach Nemo with a Guardian AI in his head. So a duo

 

[Factabulous]

The main thing is ...

It's all kicking off Pru!

These CGs are in a beautiful setting. Some screenshots I took when researching the area this morning:

Oh the Aegis have done a much better job

 

[Sbirch123]

Community actually think about this one. With aegis did we get any new weapons, tech and such that where better than the stock versions of themselves? If aegis is so powerful then why are they scared of salvation? Surely they should be working with them not against them? What proof does aegis have?

Im not saying salvation is innocent but let's be honest aegis are no better but atleast we get new tools

 

[zimms]

[...] With aegis did we get any new weapons, tech and such.[...]

Yes.

 

[Sbirch123]

Yes.

True I may have worded it wrong

 

[Rubbernuke]

Its not doing a better job, its knowing the person and their motives for doing things. Tanner is concerned about Salvation, and the fact he / her / it / they smuggled in a superweapon under the guise of basic medicines rather than just being honest about it.

As shonky as it is, AEGIS are answerable to someone. Salvation....is answerable to no-one. Are they trustworthy enough?

That's because Aegis declared salvation weapons as illegal so they had to do what they had to do.


edit if Aegis is that bothered by it then why not just do what they normally do and reverse engineer them to find out how they are made as that's what I would do if I was Aegis

 

[Rubbernuke]

And what if they were dangerous? Did the people on the station used as bait get a say?

 

[Sbirch123]

And what if they were dangerous? Did the people on the station used as bait get a say?

The stations would have been attacked either way, we know this due to previous thargoid incursions that destroyed 20 odd stations
