ALG Waste Disposal

[Ayem]

As a prospective ALG member, I'd suggest to the LWB that they could make loud noises at ALG and threaten dreadful things in the presence of the law, but make no actual actions against the transporters/salvagers of the ALG. Perhaps pass around some anti-terraforming gas pamphlets.

ALG operate in/travel through areas of the Sigmas and Omegas, so we'll be seeing a lot of the Corsairs, Wild and Hessians. I would expect any and all of those three to attack or tax us. Now while the LWB may be friendly with the Hessians, they are not Hessians themselves, and can operate under different reputation sheets.

One potential advantage of terraforming gases is the production, under Planetform, of new areas for farming under the old methods (luxury, rather than synth foods). There's a planet in Hudson called Atka which is in the preliminary stages of terraforming by Planetform under contract from the Liberty government. The Rheinland Military are against this, because if Liberty manage to terraform and populate the planet they'll have a stronger claim to the system as Liberty territory. However, if Rheinland Military pushed Liberty back away from Atka it could be turned into a new Rheinland breadbasket to mollify the LWB and answer their complaints (the complaints of Rheinland citizens).

Anyways, that's just me blowing smoke. But remember that terraforming gas is a vague term, they could potentially be used to return Stuttgart to the state it was in before the planet was made more suitable for the Synth weed.

EDIT: This doesn't mean I'll kick and scream and throw my toys out of the pram if I am pirated/stopped etc. by LWB. I'd always pay their request, rather than force them to blow me up. Direct funding with plausible deniability of intent.
