When does a core 1 base die ? After 192456 years ?

[Anaximander]

The reason TAZ remained neutral despite this is that neither TAZ, nor Outcast officials see the whole as black and white as you do and were able to solve the situation diplomatically

How do you diplomatically settle killing with a nation that lore-wise hold the lives of its citizens in extremely high regard? Killing is killing, there's no grey area.

That pretty much corresponds with the lore of TAZ and the region: defends both from a possible GRN assault.

Aye, that's one side of it. The other side is that TAZ, like the Zoners of the Omicrons, is fundamentally at the mercy of the regional military powers. They thread a dangerous path and have done so extremely wisely and skillfully, until the arrival of PoB's. That's why the Baffin corridor was always kept open to Cardamine trade even though TAZ was aware of and saddened by the consequences of Cardamine abuse, not to mention slave trade. By shooting innocent Outcasts, whether or not they could just have registered, that piece of very significant lore is totally disregarded. Lore-wise TAZ would be suicidal to pull the trigger on any non-hostile non-combateering Outcast, but because it is their base doing it it somehow slides.

You should, in my opinion, rather be critical about how actions of others trigger such hostile REactions. Another recurring points I will not expect you to understand if you didn't already.

As a player, naturally I don't condone people griefing TAZ and being oorp to mess up their day; that goes without saying. My character however couldn't care less, because he is Maltese himself. When he gets shot, he gets mad; naturally. For obvious reasons he doesn't go "oh some other Outcasts gave them trouble so they shot me, that seems legit" and it seems absurd that I am just to accept that because the two official factions agreed on that between themselves.
