Why would a 'Cerb' Base on Wichita in Kansas be at all intact? Why haven't you gone and interacted with the locals? Hellfire, Xenos, etc. It just seems like a convientent self-stroke in a sense to ignore the locals and outright ignore the RP within the system just for the pure sake of allowing yours to 'continue'. Like, come on, it's seriously not an empty system anymore and I doubt Commune would be freely doltzing around like if it was a summer paradise. What's the point of even making a presence when they're convientently ignored ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I answered this. No full Cerberus base. The faction had made an Alliance with two other groups in the past and eventually it entered in conflict with the Legion. The base was dismantled but a small protected Vault remained. We are aware of the presence of Hellfire more actively and the task was intended to be as a covert operation not to be detected by enemy factions. We wouldn't want the containment of our goal to be reached and would be rather idiotic to contact our enemies in order to have access to something that is strictly key to us. Just give it a thought.
