*A new member has been appointed to the [[Council of Admirals]] to represent [[Sirius Corporation]] as the [[Alliance]]'s strategic defence partner. Political correspondent [[Vanya Driscoll]] reported for The [[Alliance Tribune]]: "There are always six seats on the Council of Admirals, taken by senior military commanders from the largest regional fleets. Not only is this the first time that a seventh position has been created, it's also the first to come from outside the Alliance. The new addition is Admiral Nikolas Glass, a highly decorated officer with the Sirius Navy. His new role is to coordinate the Alliance's anti-[[Thargoid]] operations, which from now on will be directly supported by Sirius Corporation. [[Alliance Prime Minister|Prime Minister]] [[Edmund Mahon]] and [[Admiral of the Fleet|Fleet Admiral]] [[Hayley Sorokin]] both endorsed this development as a way of strengthening the [[Alliance Defence Force]], which lacks the might of the [[Federal Navy|Federal]] or [[Imperial Navy]]. Many member systems have demanded increased protection against the Thargoid threat, so this news is likely to be well received. As expected, [[Councillor]] [[Nakato Kaine]] opposed the defence pact, with Admiral [[George Varma]] also critical of 'merging commercial interests with military matters'. Deputy Prime Minister [[Angela Corcoran]] also admitted that she abstained during the recent joint vote, but chose not to elaborate on her reasons. So it seems that the [[Alliance Assembly|Assembly]] is not fully confident about this union with Sirius Corporation."<ref name="Sirius ADF">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61dbf8af8471456cbe5cbe02 GalNet: Sirius Navy Unites with Alliance Defence Force]</ref> | *A new member has been appointed to the [[Council of Admirals]] to represent [[Sirius Corporation]] as the [[Alliance]]'s strategic defence partner.
