*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> | |||

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots' Federation ALERT*<br/>The Reorte Mining Coalition has succeeded in forcing [[Sirius Corporation]] to withdraw from the [[Reorte]] system. Despite the megacorp's strategic defence pact with the [[Alliance]], Reorte's controlling faction claimed the Sirius megaship Chariot of Rhea was an illegal intruder. This resulted in open conflict, which has ended with Sirius Corporation's defeat. [[Fergus Cassidy]], CEO of the Reorte Mining Coalition, transmitted this message: "With the support of many brave pilots, we have prevented Sirius from sinking its claws into the Reorte system. I hope our victory will convince the Alliance's leaders to think twice about their deal with the devil." Captain [[Delfina Dominguez]] has confirmed that Sirius Corporation has started to withdraw from Reorte. The megaship Chariot of Rhea will leave Reorte and jump to the [[Leesti]] system pending further discussions with Allied leaders. Sources have confirmed that [[permits]] to the [[Alioth]] and [[Sirius]] systems have been allocated to independent pilots depending on the faction they supported during the conflict. The [[Alliance Assembly|Assembly]] has held emergency meetings to debate this turn of events. [[Councillor]] Ainsley Niven, who represents the Reorte system, delivered a warning to [[Edmund Mahon|Prime Minister Mahon]]: "You have invited Sirius Corporation to provide military aid against the [[Thargoid]]s, but without seeking the approval of those we are pledged to protect. That is not the way of the Alliance, no matter how grave the threat."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61fba223321af45edf642e6f GalNet: Sirius Corporation Ejected from Reorte]</ref> | *<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots' Federation ALERT*<br/>The Reorte Mining Coalition has succeeded in forcing [[Sirius Corporation]] to withdraw from the [[Reorte]] system.

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots' Federation ALERT*<br/>The Reorte Mining Coalition has declared its intent to remove the [[Sirius Corporation]] presence from its home system. The megaship Chariot of Rhea arrived in [[Reorte]] as part of Sirius Corporation's new role as the [[Alliance]]'s strategic defence partner. But the system's controlling faction ordered it to withdraw. The megaship's non-compliance has resulted in skirmishes targeting Sirius forces. [[Fergus Cassidy]], CEO of the Reorte Mining Coalition, announced: "We fully support [[Nakato Kaine|Councillor Kaine's]] position that Sirius Corporation is operating illegally under Alliance law. Therefore, we will defend our territory from this aggressive foreign entity." A response was broadcast by Captain [[Delfina Dominguez]] of the [[Sirius Navy]], who commands the Chariot of Rhea: "Our presence is authorised by the military contract between Sirius Corporation and the [[Alliance Defence Force]]. If local forces continue to attack, we will have no option but to defend our assets." The fighting is not believed to have reached surface level and is expected to remain a ship-based conflict. To rally support from independent pilots, both factions are offering access to [[Permits|permit-locked]] systems. Reorte Mining Coalition will sponsor distribution of an [[Alioth]] system permit, while Sirius Corporation will authorise a permit to the [[Sirius]] system. [[Alliance Prime Minister|Prime Minister]] [[Edmund Mahon]] has ordered the Reorte Mining Coalition to cease hostilities immediately. However, [[Councillor]] Ainsley Niven – who represents Reorte in the [[Alliance Assembly|Assembly]] and is a political supporter of Nakato Kaine – claims that the faction has the right to protect its territory, since it was not invited to ratify the defence pact.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61f29a5421fc420cc60d1cde GalNet: Conflict Erupts in the Reorte System]</ref> | *<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots' Federation ALERT*<br/>The Reorte Mining Coalition has declared its intent to remove the [[Sirius Corporation]] presence from its home system.
