UA Search re: Halsey, Galnet, Federation variables.

Exactly, personally I'm after Fallside, we haven't heard of him for a while and I don't like that...Palin disappears and Halsey pops up all of a sudden? Maybe the writers went "Ok as we are about to resume Halsey's storyline we may put Palin out of the way first", or there is a connection I cannot seem to see just yet.
Hudson himself seems like too much of a boy scout to be behind it but his backers are at the top of my list of suspects. Along with INRA, Dark Wheel, Thargoids and the manufacturers of tinfoil.
Don't insult the almighty Federal leader, scum!
The plot thickens to the consistency of a shrimp gumbo jambalaya.
I want to believe that this is a preemptive action towards a Thargoid/non-human invasion. Palin is a gone due to his snooping around. Halsey was taken and is planted back as a agent.
Also... since the invading Thargoids are NPCs, they fear the largest group of PvE players.. Mobius. So the Thargoids dispatched the SDC guys to weaken their resolve and strength. lol

I agree, you do know that core dynamics might be a huge supplier of tinfoil? Dirty, sneaky corporations. Could the tinfoil make me more paranoid so I have to buy more of it?! Genius.
*ahem* /Tinfoil
In light of the recent galnet article today (https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/28-FEB-3302) I believe that Hudson and likely his backers (unless they want to kill Hudson now too) are not the issue. Upgrading from a Narwhal liner type ship to a Farragut with a full fledged complement is perfectly normal thing to do after discovering that there was engine failure for SS1. It got attacked and now they know (partially) what/who attacked it hence the upgrade in SS1. Also, keep in mind, Farragut cruisers use a different method of witchspace travel. Its hard to get interdicted in witchspace (Thargoid style) if you are ripping a hole in it and walking on through for instant travel.
My assumption now is SS1 was attacked and not sabotaged. I initially believed sabotage but this recent turn has made me believe there is a group out there with superior witchspace abilities that attacked SS1. My money would be on INRA using thargoid tech, I'm betting they are using or being used by major political groups (shadowy political groups) to influence things. I also think that mysterious DBX is using the same tech that they are using. Which means that they were probably behind the Pallin disappearance too. It makes me wonder if the barnacles were planted by them as well... I don't believe the crashed Conda with its generic crates is an indication but if I were a mysterious organization making mysterious crafts out of mysterious metals I'd probably use mysterious metal producing barnacles.
The question is where is their home base? They could be harvesting barnacles and taking them back toward the bubble OR they could have a base in the Pleiades...
Also, mass quantities of meta-alloys sold on the black market to various corporations? I'd give a pretty penny and some of Sancho's shrimp gumbo jambalaya that, if we could trace those alloys, it would take us straight to the source.
/Takes tinfoil off.... immediately tries to shape it into a tracking beacon to be placed on some meta-alloy
Nice theory. However I cannot help but see:
Farragut => Core Dynamics => George Fallside (non-executive directorship of Core Dynamics)
Meta-Alloys sold on black market => various companies => fronts for some big conglomerate => shell corporation => George Fallside (involvement in the shell corporation)
You're gonna say I've got a grudge against the guy, and you are right.
That's the thing though, it's what they want you to think. They planted that seed (¬‿¬ ) in your mind. They just want everybody to think they're upgrading their ships to defend themselves, but to me they're doing it to eventually attack when the time comes.
They = The Intergalactic Naval Reserve Arm. So Federal Navy and Imperial Navy.
And you are right, they are behind all this: the Unknown Artefacts (all pointing TOWARDS Merope, not to protect it IMO), the Barnacles, the strange DBX (first tests of a proper Thargoid-hybrid vessel), and the meta-alloys' disappearance. By harvesting meta-alloys and selling them on the black market, we are just doing INRA's dirty job.
In the end I'm sure it will be completely different from that but it is logical and sound enough in my head. xD

I see the switch to SS1 being a Farragut as a defensive/preventative tactic.
Imperial Capitol ships destroyed mysteriously. SS1 found. I'm speculating SS1 was attacked by some non-Federal entity. The same entity that destroyed the Imperial Capital Ship.
The Experimental DBX, and tie-ins to advanced jump drives and thargoid techs, actually make me suspect Mahon and the Alliance...

I see the switch as a defensive maneuver as well, but they are playing it down to not cause concern or further questions. To me, it is clear the the Governments know of an external threat, and are acting to suppress the information. Pop is right in that... the end result will be completely different than our theories.
also, the "shell" corps buying up all the metal alloys could be INRA or some other Men in Black organization (cue Will Smith) preparing for what they know is looming.

I love the idea that all the conspiracies are starting to tie together. I'm not sure about the StarShips 1 & 2 upgrades being offensive - would you really send the Federation president into the front-line? If you just wanted an excuse to commission two new battle-cruisers, surely they could do that without any pretence?
I love the theories and intrigue.. Maybe the UAs weren't naturally in the shell, but placed there by the Feds (they were caught transporting them, after all). Maybe they wanted us to find the barnacles, and do the harvesting work for them. The UAs' damage to the stations is just the incentive we needed.. (I'm just throwing random points out here now.. I don't have a clue!)
We are in the same line of thought about the UAs, Barnacles and damaged stations.
That'd be great, Hudson is all about the military after all. But it's true he needs no pretence for upgrading SS1, apparently that's what he likes doing: "He is also approving additional funds to begin upgrading and expanding the fleet to counter the threats he sees beyond the Federation’s borders". I firmly believe they are meant to be used offensively but time will prove me wrong I'm sure hehe.

There was a normal wreckage site that had the label Capital Ship because a capital ship enters just after you do, this is normal in non-CZ capital ship sites. Chatter between the rescue ships was nothing out of the ordinary apart from what looked like a copy/paste typo saying the Federal Navy had quarantined the area. See my report on the Canonn site for full details.
Personally I see Hudson's move as escalating tensions between the Federation and Empire. The Feds just said their President intends to run a war from SS1 and has upgraded the ship to do so. I expect them to invade the Empire soon and will be ready to repel them with prejudice!
Ah, I see, I stand corrected.
Or perhaps your Imperial propaganda machine is working overtime!?
And I'd like to see you try!
Galactic News: Jasmina Halsey Brought Out of Coma
Hopefully we'll hear Halsey's story soon. I'm not expecting much more than "chain reaction... reactor critical... barely reached escape pod in time... oh the humanity!"

Hi guys! Just posting to thank Commander Corrigendum for speaking out about George Fallside in his GALNET article. I know it's been 4 days since the article was released but hey, better late than never right? I also know it doesn't mean a lot from somebody who hasn't posted in two months (and hasn't played in four months due to overall disappointment in the SS1 & Antares storylines) but if we keep on talking about George Fallside, Nick Baron, Elaine Boyd and Nigel Smeaton for instance, we may get answers to our questions. The Antares Incident is such a cool mystery with a lot of potential and we deserve a nicer unfolding of the story and more fun CGs IMO. But maybe it's just me, in which case just ignore that post haha.

The latest news about the whole Halsey stuff was that she awoke from coma for a short time,
speaking of weird things.
Might the last paragraph in the interview be originating from cerberus being a plague
that alters cognitive processes or "reprogramms" the mind?
I think the UA, Fed and Imp plots are connected.
Cerberus is a topic coming back to the story again and again.
If there is a coverup for a shadow play, why leave the system providing the
cerberus cure (Heike ceremonial tea) intact and have the "cure" continue to exist?
Is the "cure" another "virus"?
The fact, that the alliance is so quiet while the events happen in fed and imp regions
is fishy too.

I think Halsey is of on her own tangent now. She is in UA land and will not be to concerned about politics.
I think we will see a big proxy war between the Feds and the Imps in the near future. It will start when the Feds starts the 'reclamation' of Eranin (Soon).
The Alliance is quiet because they are bound by treaties. These treaties were forced upon them by the Imp/Fed anti Thargoid coalition, after the Argents Quest failed to deliver the Mycoid antidote. Because of this, the Thargoids left and the Alliance were left by it self.
The treaties also limit the technology the Alliance is allowed to produce. Hence no Alliance ships.
Would you mind listing the sources of this information?

Banned
yes there are inquiring minds as to the information sources
Not at all.
Halsey leaving politics is just speculation. She seem to be in a more 'spiritual' mindset at the moment.
The coming of a new Eranin War seem obvious. The two main aggressors of the 3300 Eranin war, Patreus and Hudson are building for war and Eranin is 'featured' heavily in the last newsletter. Missions for landmines, makes me think that we may even see ground combat scenarios.[up]
The situation of the Alliance is deducted from FFE history. In FFE the main story had several branches, based on player choice. We don't know for sure, which one FD has chosen to follow.
The 'Thargoid story' had three main branches:
- Player deliver Mycoid antidote to Thargoids. The Alliance/Thargoid faction wins. We get galactic peace and Thargoid goodies.
- Player deliver Mycoid missil to Thargoid mother ship for INRA. Fed/Imp faction wins. Fed/Imp faction breaks up and all three major factions are in cold ware state. Thargoids are dead.
- Player skips/fails either mission. Thargoids just leaves human space. Alliance is left alone and forced to it's knees. Fed/Imp faction breaks up and all is back to 'normal'.
I think the last option fits best with our current situation.
This scenario is best summed up in this article in the Alliance newspaper 'Frontier News' after player fails to deliver antidote:
**********************
WHITHER THE THARGOIDS NOW?
M.C.S
So the 'Argent's Quest' is back in base and the post-mortem has begun. There are a lot of questions that need to be answered, not least amongst them, how the strategists at the AIS could possible have made such a fundamental error in their choice of Commander for what was the galaxy's most audacious voyage. We needed a Commander with skill, a cool head and, above all, the courage to carry through whatever task presented itself and we failed absolutely to find the right person. The diplomatic pressures now being applied to the AIS are not to be taken lightly and it seems likely that, at least in the current generation, a further flight will prove diplomatically impossible.
Our politicians have a certain basic integrity and it is unlikely that they will be able to avoid signing the Treaties being offered them. The welfare of Alliance citizens comes first and there are too many good offers being made for us to turn them down. SO, the five Quest class ships will almost certainly be the last to be built and the four remaining will have no-sale edicts enforced so that those with personal conquest in mind will not be able to take advantage of the overwhelming advantage Quest ownership offers.
It won't stop other ship-designers from attempting to emulate the feat, but few have the necessary resources and none have the combined skills and experience of the Turner-Argent partnership.

Hope this explains a bit.
