Mahon Reprimanded over Reorte Conflict​

25 FEB 3308
The Alliance Assembly has delivered an official rebuke to its prime minister following the recent skirmish in the Reorte system.

There have been heated debates following the conflict between Reorte Mining Coalition and Sirius Corporation. This was triggered by the megacorp’s unpopular attempt to establish a presence in the system as an anti-xeno defence partner.

Councillor Nakato Kaine led a motion to censure against Prime Minister Edmund Mahon, which successfully passed with a plurality of votes after some abstentions. The strongly-worded reprimand focused on ‘disregarding the Alliance’s principles by unilaterally forcing cooperation with Sirius Corporation’.

After Mahon formally accepted the reprimand, Councillor Kaine addressed the Assembly:
“This body does not have the right to govern its member systems without their consent. The strategic defence pact must become civil legislation rather than a military contract, so it can be passed as law.”
“I call upon Li Yong-Rui to agree to these terms, or else to abandon the pact and remove Sirius Corporation’s forces from the Alioth, Arimpox, Di Jian and Leesti systems.”

Should be obvious that Li Yong-Rui will play the long-game and navigate the necessities of "civil legislation," but how much more interesting would it be for Li to abrogate the military contract and then offer similar terms to the Alliance systems they are currently present in and to those they wish to expand into? A long-term Power Play involved CG to establish which systems get Sirius support, followed by a multi-system Thargoid attack highlighting the consequences.

Should be easy enough for Sirius to copy the defense contract and give one every Alliance system to ratify themselves and only move in where they are accepted. Would cause rifts in the Alliance between systems that sign and the others, especially when Thargoids attack and only the signing systems get defended, but at least every member can decide for themselves instead of getting Sirius pushed on them by democratic decree.

I heard he had to stand in a corner with a donkey paper hat for nearly an hour.

He also had to copy "I will not compromise the values of my nation for money" a hundred times.

That will teach him.
