My exploration had to be put on hold a bit due to an insurgency in Haimeh. I have not followed the local politics much, but as far as I understand it, an agent provocateur operated within the ranks of Zaraevahr. This agent fomented revolt in the Haimeh mining stations linked to the GF company, a large holding that does a bit of everything from mining to military-industrial production and even mercenary work.
Prince Seraghis mounted a punitive expedition to stamp down the rebellion, but it did not help. On the contrary, the mining company assembled an impressive fleet to protect their assets. Also Prince called on his vassals and on LUMEN capsuleers to form a fleet. As I am in the region enjoying Prince's hospitality, I joined, in a logistics role compatible with my vows.
The two fleets converged on Haimeh.
And then a miracle took place. God granted us the very best of outcomes: peace without bloodshed! High-level battlefield diplomacy was able to avert open war and defused the conflict. The agent provocateur was unmasked and is on the run now, to be hunted down both by Seraghis' forces and by GF company security contractors.
My guess is that, when they catch the agent, thorough interrogation will reveal this to be a Blood Raider plot. They have the most to gain from destabilizing the region. Moreover, they recently took a firm blow when Zaraevahr located and destroyed the Blood Raider's forward operating base in Mishi. As they can not win by force, they tried -and almost succeeded- by subterfuge.
