*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>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61e6ba29f6b3cd47d1758763 GalNet: Superpowers Plan to Replace Aegis]</ref> | |||

*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.
