CMDR's interested in assisting in this campaign should run missions for the "Aegis Research" faction specifically in the Pleiades Nebula.
The goal will be to stabilize and strengthen the Aegis Research faction by running missions only for them.

A focus on Delphi, Electra, or one of the other three Pleiades systems. The goal is to boost their standing across the board, so taking your pick of system and available missions at that location.

I'll be honest here i cant see the local factions being interested in this as it will affect assets.

Not to undermine the project - But you got me thinking about a new AEGIS, there is a slight chance that as soon as Major power leadership (pp discord would be the natural starting point) realises that collaboration is needed, not just in AX but Thadvocacy too. A mirror organisation could emerge.
 
Indeed, a Aegis return would ultimately impact local factions.

My question is how hungry are people to see them make a comeback? Aegis once served a great role in research and protecting the Pleiades. I see posts and grumblings about Aegis needing to return.

My question to you, and others is, will we just complain, or take action?

It's time people made the effort if they really want an Aegis, or if they are content with the status quo.

And to your point, perhaps the Pleiades is not the home for the future of Aegis, but it's where we can make a difference to grow their research facilities and capabilities. So it's where we can start.

As for the success of this campaign. I could see Aegis either rising from the ashes, or finish crumbling to dust. It will be up to those that either support them, or not, to decide that fate.

If you decide to join this effort, it is not too late to help the cause CMDR.

Operation: ReForge Aegis is in full swing!

The operation has made great strides in making an impact on the Pleiades sector. There has been great engagement from core supporters, work from quiet supporters, and many who are monitoring this campaign with great interest.

There has been expected resistance along the way, but we are going strong! Some question if this operation is possible, or if there is room in the galaxy for Aegis still, to both of those we say yes!

To those who fear Aegis return will usurp their hard work, campaign diplomats will be reaching out. To those who question if this is possible, come see for yourself. To those who fought against the old Aegis, stop in and have a visit with our fellow supporters. You may come to also believe in our vision.

We believe in a new Independent Aegis. We acknowledge that mistakes were made by the Aegis of old, but we are working towards a better and brighter future for humanity!


The superpowers may have abandoned the cause, but some still believe in Aegis. Join us CMDR!

--------------- Campaign Final Report ---------------​


Prepared for immediate public release.

Operation: ReForge Aegis has concluded.

A special thanks to all the amazing supporters who helped with this campaign.


Campaign Summary​

There was a great initial swell of support, which led to open dialogue with local faction leadership which identified the need to keep “Peace in the Pleiades”. The presence of Aegis has traditionally antagonized the local Thargoids, and led to power struggles throughout the region. Our core operations team aimed to show support to Aegis and try to rectify past transgressions, while working together towards a better and brighter future.

There was great engagement from our amazing core supporters, noticed work from quiet supporters, and many who actively engaged us in excellent dialogue. I know there are also many who worked hard to ‘hold back the tide’ of our enthusiasm to bring back Aegis. For the greater stability of the Pleiades sector, I thank you for your hard work to keep peace in the region.

Our current determination is that Aegis needs a new home to survive. One where it can continue its amazing work, removed and unhindered by human bubble politics. A new Aegis must exist outside the petty squabbles of politicians and those wishing to ‘pull strings’ to their own desires. Only then, can a new Aegis continue its work of uncovering the mysteries about the Xeno races, understanding their technology, and working to further protect humanity.

Aegis also needs supporters. The superpowers have abandoned Aegis, yet there are independent factions that wish to keep supporting them, and their work. Those same systems also need help with protection. A new Aegis can help provide them with the knowledge, and technology, to defend themselves. Other Independent systems, especially those on the outskirts of the bubble, will need protection now more than ever. The superpowers will inevitably protect ‘core worlds’, leaving many to defend for themselves. Aegis must have embassies for representation in the outskirts of the human bubble to help protect the people there.


Recommendations​

Aegis new Research Center (Home System)

System: PMD2009 48
This system is within good proximity to the old battleground site between Guardians and Thargoids. It would also be perfect for additional research and resource gathering. Its remote nature also helps make it more immune to bubble politics and influences.

Alternative Options:
Outlying nebula systems (without Thargoid presence), or Frontier Human Bubble Systems. Preferably with high material availability for research usage. Ideally systems with lower conflicting factions.


Aegis Embassies (Humanities Defense)

Smaller outlying regions that wish to partner and support Aegis. This would allow Aegis to build out its protective forces, and provide technology resources, in systems where the superpowers would not be willing to protect. This will allow those factions to have an outreach point to Aegis, and to help maintain contact with the new Aegis research center.

These locations could potentially also host a ‘donation initiative’ for the galactic community to help fund and rebuild an Independent Aegis.


Pleiades Sector

Request that the superpowers ‘release’ the remaining facilities, data, and assets to the remaining Aegis leadership team. The Pleiades Aegis facilities recommended to be decommissioned and unusable assets sold to other factions to fund buildout in the new Aegis home system.


Campaign Support Gains​

The following were monitored gains over the course of the event. Towards the campaigns end, supporters were directed to help maintain controlling factions. A new Aegis needs to bolster our strength together, not create more divisions.

Aegis Core: +0.7% Increase
(Operation Shieldbearer)

Aegis Research (Pleiades): +19.8% Increase
Screenshot_20220930-124704~2.png

Aegis Research (All): +24.1% Increase

Closing Remarks​

Thank you again for all who participated in this event. I hope this was a great time for you to work for our cause, or for your own.

The campaign discord will remain active for spectators and supporters to stay connected. Stop in and visit sometime!

This will be the last official broadcast pertaining to “Operation: ReForge Aegis”, a copy of this report will be transmitted to Professor Alba Tesreau for the Aegis reformation conference. Only time will tell if our work, and message, made enough of an impact on the galaxy. While the campaign supporters are hopeful, all involved understand that Aegis may finally be shut down tomorrow.

If Aegis doesn’t survive the coming storm. We are left with the memories made, the missions we ran, and the friends who were reunited, and made, along the way. Remember CMDR’s, only together can we bring forth a change for the better in the galaxy. Our actions must speak just as loud as our words, and through them reflect upon who we are, in our successes, and our failures.


See you in the black, o7

On behalf of the Marlinists, I want to show our support to Aegis. We were signatories to the ill-fated Sirius Treaty, and we enthusiastically endorse operations like these to reform Aegis into something better than it was before, without the same mistakes and corruption that Aegis was afflicted with in the past.

We wish the commanders who participated in this operation well, and we look forward to Professor Alba Tesreu's upcoming conference.

While only Parliament, the First Minister, and the Prime Consul have the authority to make these decisions, I nevertheless support the Marlinist Republic to be a host and/or supporter for the new Aegis in the coming months.

-Commander Jaden Capek, Propraetor of the Dark Wolf Marlinists.
