In November 3304, a cabal of junior Sirius Navy officers was involved in a conspiracy to coerce the [[Engineers|Engineer]] [[Ram Tah]] into accepting a proposed partnership with Sirius Corporation. The officers funded and organised a series of mercenary attacks on Phoenix Base, Ram Tah's personal workshop in [[Meene]], in an effort to scare Ram Tah into seeking Sirius's protection. Independent pilots helped the Meene Defence Force capture several mercenaries who revealed their ties to the Sirius Navy conspirators. CEO [[Li Yong-Rui]] insisted the officers acted without authorisation and would be tried for their crimes, but the scandal still forced him to withdraw his offer of partnership, which prevented Sirius Corporation from gaining access to the Engineer's [[Guardian]] technology projects.<ref name="Connection Corp">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5beeb74cb94ba6077e1202a4 GalNet: Connection to Sirius Corp Uncovered]</ref><ref name="Sirius Arrests">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5bf7d6cf38756f7d782f8924 GalNet: Sirius Arrests Rogue Officers]</ref><ref name="Security Ram Tah">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5c011cec4e67776fee0e252c GalNet: Aegis Offers Security to Ram Tah]</ref> | In November 3304, a cabal of junior Sirius Navy officers was involved in a conspiracy to coerce the [[Engineers|Engineer]] [[Ram Tah]] into accepting a proposed partnership with Sirius Corporation.

Beginning on January 10, 3308, in accordance with a strategic defence pact approved by the [[Alliance]], the Sirius Navy assumed responsibility for assisting the [[Alliance Defence Force]] in anti-[[Thargoid]] operations. A Sirius Navy representative, Admiral [[Nikolas Glass]], was granted a seat on the Alliance's [[Council of Admirals]] to oversee coordination between the two military forces.<ref name="Sirius ADF">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61dbf8af8471456cbe5cbe02 GalNet: Sirius Navy Unites with Alliance Defence Force]</ref> | Beginning on January 10, 3308, in accordance with a strategic defence pact approved by the [[Alliance]], the Sirius Navy assumed responsibility for assisting the [[Alliance Defence Force]] in anti-[[Thargoid]] operations.

*The [[Alliance]], [[Empire]] and [[Federation]] have accepted the [[Paul Baumann|Baumann Report's]] recommendation to permanently shut down [[Aegis]]. The independent inquiry's findings on the organisation's failings will result in Aegis being immediately shut down. However, Chief Administrator [[Carter Armstrong]] has cautioned that "full demobilisation of staff, ships and resources might take several months". [[Senator]] [[Denton Patreus]] has successfully obtained senatorial approval for an increased military budget, to allow the [[Imperial Navy]] to directly take on the role played by Aegis. [[Admiral of the Fleet|Fleet Admiral]] [[Tayo Maikori]] likewise confirmed that the [[Federal Congress]] has ordered the creation of a new naval strike force. On his own authority he has also commissioned an investigation into [[Salvation]], following [[Ram Tah]]'s testimony regarding the nature of the [[anti-xeno superweapon]]. Admiral [[Nikolas Glass]], who was recently appointed to the [[Council of Admirals]], stated that the [[Alliance Defence Force]] and Sirius Navy will work in conjunction to fulfil Aegis's purpose. Xenological research laboratories set up by Professor [[Alba Tesreau]] will now transfer their work to specialist departments in the [[Holloway Bioscience Institute]], [[Imperial Science Academy]] and [[Olympus Village University]]. In 3304 the [[Thargoid]]s made targeted strikes against Aegis's labs, but all three institutions have made assurances that the new locations will have the highest security.<ref name="Replace Aegis" /> | |||

*[[Alliance Prime Minister|Prime Minister]] [[Edmund Mahon]] has invited [[Sirius Corporation]] to establish a permanent presence within the [[Alliance]]. The [[Alliance Tribune]]'s political correspondent [[Vanya Driscoll]] reported: "Sirius Corporation's new role as a strategic defence partner has expanded swiftly, with a Sirius faction established in the [[Alioth]] system to represent the megacorp. In addition, several [[megaship]]s have arrived in other Allied systems to provide support. The [[Alliance Defence Force]] and some government departments now have official advisors from Sirius Corporation on their staff. Prime Minister Mahon announced that these developments will streamline joint operations with the Sirius Navy, and in turn provide effective countermeasures against [[Thargoid]] aggression. But [[Councillor]] [[Nakato Kaine]] claims that the presence of Sirius Gov is illegal as it was not ratified by the [[Alliance Assembly|Assembly]]. She has pointed out that since the defence pact makes this a classified military matter, any civil action to reverse Mahon's executive decision has been deliberately blocked."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61e172a178eff449466b83a1 GalNet: Sirius Gov Enters the Alioth System]</ref> | *[[Alliance Prime Minister|Prime Minister]] [[Edmund Mahon]] has invited [[Sirius Corporation]] to establish a permanent presence within the [[Alliance]].
