GALNET - 11 FEB 3307 - Conflict Between Federal Forces and Jupiter Division

Pilots Federation ALERT

Jupiter Division ships have engaged in battle with rival Federal vessels in the HIP 54530 system.

Loyalists to former Core Dynamics CEO Jupiter Rochester have built their own breakaway faction in HIP 54530. The FIA suspects that Jupiter Division agents first infiltrated the HIP 54530 Gold Universal Group years ago, and permit locked the system to conceal their efforts to overtake it from within.

The self-appointed Supreme Executive Rochester declared:

“The Federation is choking to death on its outdated bureaucracy – only corporate rule can save it! But first the galactic community must protect my followers, so I can establish a permanent base of operations.”

Director Theodore Sullivan of the Silver Legal Group announced:

“We will not tolerate these criminals illegally controlling this system. Once victory is won, the Federation will be able to bring Rochester to justice.”

Jupiter Division has offered generous rewards to any pilots willing to help secure its presence in the HIP 54530 system. The Silver Legal Group has asked Federal auxiliaries to support its efforts to degrade Jupiter Division’s military force.

The Pilots Federation has agreed to supply all ships participating in this conflict with temporary permits to access HIP 54530. These will expire early on Thursday the 18th of February 3307.

However, neither permanent nor temporary system permits apply to fleet carriers, since they are capable of ferrying vessels which could evade detection and authorisation.

a few things spring to mind here

Even though Roch is a criminal on the run, how is the Jupiter Division's control illegal? how is it any different to what already goes on in the galaxy ?

I've always understood that the Pilots federation are an independent body that shows no allegiance to the other powers or politics so how have they come to the decision to open up a permit locked system so the feds can go bashing?

Don't try to apply logic to the plot device that are system permits.

Probably because Rochester was most likely declared excommunicado.
 
Hmm... can someone do me a favour and keep a list of all Farraguts that are fighting for Rochester?
no, you are gonna have to take that imp hat off and find out for yourself 😜

So who's everyone fighting for and why? Jupiter Division or the Feds?

well, there is no advantage from what I can see
someone posted that they would support the criminal as there is a better chance of getting new ships from him and from a lore point it makes sense
the reality is if there are new ships we will get them no matter who wins

That was my thoughts - a breaway group surely means something new! Maybe he's bored of ships and wants to get into the suits or handheld weapons market ;)
 
Fight for the War Criminal against the War Criminal! Simple choice really.

I thought the Fed was corporate?

Best line ever, now they can do anything with PL systems instead of being stuck with stories from years ago that dont fit anymore.
 
should that matter though? if Jupiter Dev are the controlling faction who are the Pilots Fed to decide who can and cant have a permit, surely they are there as administrators not decision makers
That secret not so secret group that's not the dark wheel, group. That Rochester allegedly may have had ties to...

JR allows the permit unlock for one side and allows it for other for this pre-arranged battle. As we all know where his Megaship is on Thursday next week theres obviously an agreement not to attack it then by the Feds. Its all rather civilised really, better than those historic wars with no end date in sight. This way it limits deaths and damage whilst still 'deciding', So the PF is just the facilitator, would be easier for them to block JR ships from entering if not neutral.

Who will shoot JR?

I would have thought the club would be supporting roch and his military background

Harry Potter!! I like the idea of trial by battle rather than facing the boredom of court though

Anyways, this story arc (with the lakon one) has been great so far so well done CM team
