*The Reorte Mining Coalition wants to cut ties with the [[Alliance]] in protest against the [[Alliance-Sirius strategic defence pact|military defence pact]] with [[Sirius Corporation]]. [[Vox Galactica]] featured an announcement from the faction's CEO, [[Fergus Cassidy]]: "The pact's three-month probationary period is clearly a ruse. It is designed to allow time for Sirius agents to bribe, convince or threaten Allied decision-makers into accepting [[Li Yong-Rui]]'s presence. We'd rather become an [[independent]] faction than allow this greedy and untrustworthy company into [[Reorte]] space." [[Councillor]] Ainsley Niven, who represents Reorte, told the [[Alliance Assembly|Assembly]]: "Obviously I have argued against this extreme move, but I cannot ignore the strength of feeling from the system's governing faction. For Reorte Mining Coalition leaders, leaving the Alliance is less risky than allowing Sirius Corporation to become embedded in the system's infrastructure." [[Vanya Driscoll]], political correspondent for The [[Alliance Tribune]], reported: "There are already wild rumours that this situation might spark mass declarations of independence, similar to the [[Federation]]'s [[Federal Rebellion of 3307|secession crisis]] last year. But there is no indication as yet that these events will play out quite so dramatically. What is certain, however, is how damaging this is for [[Edmund Mahon|Prime Minister Mahon's]] campaign to promote acceptance of Sirius Corporation. A historically significant system such as Reorte withdrawing from the Alliance would likely sour the megacorp's reputation with those it seeks to impress."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/622b323233b9944c152c7113 GalNet: Reorte Mining Coalition Proposes Independence]</ref>

*The [[Alliance]] and [[Sirius Corporation]] have negotiated a three-month probationary period for its proposed anti-xeno defence agreement. In response to a summons by [[Councillor]] [[Nakato Kaine]], CEO [[Li Yong-Rui]] appeared in person before the [[Alliance Assembly|Assembly]]. As part of a longer speech he stated: "I fully understand that, in order to be effective, the [[Alliance-Sirius strategic defence pact|strategic defence pact]] requires broader political support. But to share its details before the Alliance can experience its benefits may lead to hasty decisions. Instead, we propose that Sirius Corporation is provided with an opportunity to demonstrate how we can enhance Allied security against the [[Thargoid]]s. At the end of a contractually defined period of time, the Assembly can review the pact and decide whether or not to continue with our partnership." Following further discussions, Yong-Rui accepted that the probationary period would be reduced to three months from the originally suggested six. [[Alliance Prime Minister|Prime Minister]] [[Edmund Mahon]] expressed his gratitude that a solution had been reached. Councillor Ainsley Niven, representing the [[Reorte]] system, sounded a cautionary note: "Frankly, some Allied factions won't tolerate Sirius's presence for three minutes let alone three months. I fear that this will not be enough to convince all of our member systems to cooperate."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6220d46af8977164f3740377 GalNet: Trial Period Agreed for Alliance-Sirius Pact]</ref>
