'''Dr. Paul Baumann''' is the chair of the independent board of inquiry charged with investigating the multinational research organisation [[Aegis]]. The investigation was launched by the superpowers on July 27, 3307 in response to the disappearance of the Aegis [[megaship]] [[Alexandria]]; at the time of its disappearance on June 3, 3307, the Alexandria had been transporting a large cargo of [[Guardian]] artefacts, collected at the direction of Professor [[Alba Tesreau]], that had seemingly provoked a hostile pursuit from the [[Thargoid]]s. Baumann's inquiry sought to determine whether Aegis had acted incompetently or negligently.

*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>

*An investigation into the tri-superpower organisation [[Aegis]] is seeking to establish the reasons for its failures. Dr Paul Baumann, chair of the independent board of inquiry, outlined its scope: "The initial phase is to fully understand the work of Aegis, before examining strategic and operational decisions. Interviews with senior staff have been scheduled, with Admiral [[Aden Tanner]] providing details on military activity. One specific area of attention is the lost megaship [[Alexandria]]. We are performing a thorough analysis, including background checks on its crew. [[Hyperspace]] physicists are theorising probable causes for its failure to arrive at HIP 30944. We will be raising issues of culpability, specifically whether the concentration of [[Guardian]] artefacts aboard the Alexandria directly led to systems coming under [[Thargoid]] attack. Other incidents will be reviewed to identify possible grounds for negligence." Many prominent figures within Aegis have resigned including Professor [[Alba Tesreau]], Director Yazhu Xing and Dr [[Mia Valencourt]]. All active projects have been suspended, with routine activities continuing under independent observation. Some politicians in all three superpowers have protested against the inquiry, concerned about weakening defences against the Thargoids. Others believe Aegis is not fit for purpose, calling for a more localised approach to anti-xeno operations.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6113bc98317a0c774b712154 GalNet: Aegis Probed by Board of Inquiry]</ref>
