As the one who led the communications on behalf of Aegis, I appreciate this post as it hits the nail on the head.
To set the record straight, Aegis is not a morally sound organization. They care about one thing: Money. They have little to no regard for anyone besides the ones that line their pockets.
Aegis has an extremely lucrative contract with the Bretonian Government, forged by years of collaboration. Aegis is much more keen to please them, given the difference in credits, compared to a random base in the Dublin system. They will never have any obligation to defend an installation, unless the price is right.
This was not some conspiracy between staff and factions. This was an opportunity for us to demonstrate that Aegis is NOT just a group of /1 /2ers for the sake of shooting. We think about and dictate our actions based on the roleplay we have decided to enact.
If anyone has issues with that, they are more than welcome to DM me directly.
