REORTE SYSTEM REMAINS ALLIED​

31 MAR 3308
Pilots’ Federation ALERT
The Reorte Pro-Alliance League’s success over the Reorte Mining Coalition means the system will stay in the Alliance.
A greater quantity of advanced medicines, skimmer components and building fabricators were delivered to the Trobairitz megaship than to the opposing faction. As a result, Reorte will remain an Allied system.
Pilots who contributed to the Reorte Pro-Alliance League’s initiative can now collect their rewards at the Trobairitz, along with the additional pre-engineered heat sink modules provided by Sirius Corporation.
Chief Administrator Louisa Leblanc proclaimed:
“I am deeply grateful to all those who helped convince our people that Reorte’s future is more secure with the Alliance. We look forward to working alongside Sirius Corporation on increasing defences against the Thargoids.”
The Reorte Mining Coalition’s CEO Fergus Cassidy expressed his regret that their campaign to renounce membership of the Alliance failed to gather the necessary support. He thanked those who supported them, and confirmed that credit rewards for contributing pilots are now available at Davies High starport.

Congratulations to the Alliance on allowing Sirius back into Reorte.

Well done.

The minute Sirius will show themselves in Reorte, they will be welcome with hail of bullets.

Long live Old Worlds freedom fighters !

Congratulation on Sirius to do what they failed to do earlier. The key was bribery.

It is far from over, the war has just begun.

 

[LumpTheNoLeggedDog]

Reorte Pro-Alliance League is already about to get pummeled. Beat the drums of war, dig out your war axes.

The Alliance must endure, no matter the cost. Independence isn't a viable way in this age - sooner or later you end up being assimilated by one of the superpowers.

Better being Alliance than Fed or Imperial.

Reorte Pro-Alliance League and Sirius will be destroyed by coalition of us (Old Worlds freedom fighters) and Alliance.
They only won this content on paper, in real world (ED galaxy world) they already lost.

Eventually, though, you have to wonder if it's still the Alliance when you have Sirius leading the show.

I mean, as long as Reorte stays in the Alliance, I don't care which faction control the system. I supported the Sirius side to prevent the RMC from going Independent.

Sirius isn't even close to the might of the Alliance Military alone, and that is only half of what constitutes the Alliance. As shown by the events over the Alliance-Sirius pact, they absolutely do not run the show and can't run the show, even if you consider Mahon as a puppet (which I don't), as Mahon hasn't the kind of authority Hudson or ALD have over their respective superpower.

It is still very much the Alliance.

Mahon : add Sirirus to the navy illegally
Reorte : nope
Mahon : let's try again
Reorte : (with a blaster on their head this time) huh, ok I guess ?
Mahon : see, democracy wins !


Seems to me he got what he wanted, despite what the rest of the Alliance said.


As for Sirius military strength, I wouldn't presume that much. Not only they are a giant with established military (sometimes called the 4th superpower), but as part of the Alliance navy, they'll get massive intelligence advantages, they don't need to infiltrate the navy, they are already in it.
Plus they have money, and tech, to bribe any kind of people to fight for them.
And they are not busy fighting Thargoid either. It would be such a shame someone dropped some thargoid or guardian tech in Alliance controlled station to push the flowers to attack and keep the alliance busy and dependent on Sirius military helps. A real shame, wouldn't it ?


The fact Sirius could accomplish what they couldn't earlier with a bunch of heatsink is clear indication on how easy it is to them to foil any opposition inside the Alliance. As per the name, the strength of the Alliance is their unity. Individually they are weak. And Sirius will exploit that again and again until there is nobody left to oppose them.

I mean, even in the worse case scenario of yours with Sirius in total control over the Alliance, it is still a way better place than the Fed or Empire. Sirius has always been at the forefront of exploration and cutting edge tech, with cheap price to boot and a way healthier work environment than in the Fed or in the Empire.

More like:
Mahon : add Sirius to the navy illegally
Pilot's Fed : nope
Mahon : let's try again - but this time, here's a free doohicky
Pilots Fed : huh, ok I guess ?
Mahon : see, I win !
Reorte: wait, whut?

Yeah, well, the Devil have always been at the forefront of housing heating and good deal. But I wouldn't trust him either.

Sirius is only motivated by money and profit. If the Alliance need to burn for a rise in their profit, then it will burn. For example, triggering Thargoids attacks on the Alliance, to repel it, and prove how useful they are.

Taking a deal with Sirius to "protect you" is similar to accepting "kneecap" Sam "protection and loan" deal.

That had nothing to do with any sort of capabilities Sirius have and everything to do with FDEV simply forcing the storyline the way they want.

According to Fdev themselves, the HS were "Sirius trying to sweaten the deal". I quote the stream there. Lorewise, it's Sirius HS. Gameplay wise, it's Fdev rigging the CG

Having the kind of funding and tech access Sirius have, allow them to "bribe" CMDR to their side. As shown by the CG. Reorte offered nothing, because they simply didn't have anything to offer. They are a minor mining corp after all. Sirius offered HS because it's the least they can do.
Imagine how it would be if they offered new FSD (being the FSD tech leader). That'd turn ANY CG their favor.

Well, RMC doesn't exactly have an iron-hold majority on INF in Reorte at the moment, except perhaps due to traffic, population, and other (as it turns out, protective) BGS stats. That would take quite some effort to surpass but I'd like to think it's not impossible.

I presume that ARrC will be dropping hard on the war state there.

Are the Old Worlds Freedom Fighters a squadron? I couldn't find any info. The 'old worlds' (planets from the early days of Elite), are dear to my heart too. It's an interesting coalition that includes the Alliance to pound on a 'pro-Alliance' faction. I'm not doubting or opposed, just remarking. In a way, I must yearn for some more detail that could clarify this local relationship status.

Carry on...

 

[Rainbro]

Sirius has always been at the forefront of exploration and cutting edge tech, with cheap price to boot and a way healthier work environment than in the Fed or in the Empire.

They also have a history of shady deals and outright theft to acquire such technology. Mahon himself appears to have run up some sort of debt to Sirius, given how they are supporting him politically while he hands them all sorts of favours in return. And now, for some reason, Sirius and Mahon both want to keep the details of this latest backroom deal a secret. It's all kinda sus.

Sirius also have a nasty habit of murdering those who get in the way, too.

Can't comment on the healthy work enviroment, though. Maybe if Mahon keeps doing what he's told, he'll get a nice bonus.

All you said is on the paper. Inside the game Sirius is weak. Players make this game, not what Fdevs write on paper.

Old Worlds freedom fighter is nor faction or squad, this way Fdevs can't stir, manipulate us with any type of content or CGs. We are players (Cmdrs) who will fight against Sirius invasion of Old Worlds. I'm not sure if your aware but Sirius is historically mortal enemy of Old Worlds and we will defend OW from Sirius.
As far as I know most or even all of Alliance was and is against this content, all this was forced on them and now we all have to deal with unwanted Sirius inside Old Worlds and those systems inside OW controlled by Alliance.
