*[[Alliance Prime Minister|Prime Minister]] [[Edmund Mahon]] has commented on the [[Aegis]] inquiry and his failed proposal to unify anti-xeno operations. As part of an interview with The [[Alliance Tribune]], he said: "The greatest regret of my career is that I was unable to formalise the [[Sirius Treaty]] at the [[Galactic Summit]]. This would have revolutionised Aegis by providing the commitment and resources it deserves, sparing it the indignity of a public inquiry. The [[Nine Martyrs]] attacks prevented that historic occasion, of course, but the Sirius Treaty itself remains viable. I'd be happy to ratify it on behalf of the [[Alliance]] if we can convince the other signatories that defending humanity from the [[Thargoid]] threat should be our utmost priority." Investigators continue to gather information regarding Aegis's operations. There have been further resignations of key staff, and financial records are being independently audited. Dr Paul Baumann, chair of the board of inquiry, confirmed that charges of criminal negligence could be brought against key figures within Aegis given sufficient evidence. However, there is uncertainty as to which court would deal with legal proceedings for a tri-superpower organisation.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6137533828f1cf5df06b4f84 GalNet: Mahon: Sirius Treaty Would Save Aegis]</ref> | |||

*The [[Aegis]] board of inquiry's initial findings have been leaked to journalists, with several problems within the anti-xeno organisation detailed in the files. [[Vox Galactica]] journalist [[Alexei Keel]] reported on its contents: "The independent inquiry into Aegis is in its early stages, making this disclosure of delicate information all the more embarrassing. Although only a summary, it highlights shortcomings that were immediately apparent to the investigators. The leaked files outline a pattern of poor internal organisation and negligence. One claim is that Aegis accepted its heavy reliance on independent pilots entering combat situations against the [[Thargoid]]s. A lack of technological breakthroughs since the first generation of AX weaponry is also criticised. [[Alba Tesreau|Professor Tesreau]], who has since resigned, is singled out for prioritising communication with the Thargoids rather than developing quickly deployed defences. Interview transcripts show that some Aegis personnel consider the inquiry itself to be part of a larger agenda. A recurring claim is that the superpowers directly contributed to Aegis's inefficiency by reducing funding, and are now scapegoating Aegis management for a lack of progress. Dr Paul Baumann, chair of the board of inquiry, said that only the final report should be considered official. It is unclear when the 'Baumann Report', as some newsfeeds refer to it, might be ready for publication."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/611ba6d5760fa3799e69814d GalNet: Leaked Report Exposes Aegis Failures]</ref> | *The [[Aegis]] board of inquiry's initial findings have been leaked to journalists, with several problems within the anti-xeno organisation detailed in the files.
