Browsing over the star map on my neocom today, I noticed that the Syndicate region was attributed to the State rather than the Intaki Syndicate:
I was halfway through writing a letter of complaint about this flagrant mistake, when I was informed by mr. Firth that this was no mistake at all. What a shock!
What will happen now to our friends among the Intaki Syndicate, especially governor Arnoux? Is she one of the many high-ranking members of the Syndicate fleeing State persecution? I do not think so, I cannot imagine that she was involved in any actions that led to the damaging of the Jita gates or embezzlement of State funds (although I am not one hundred percent sur about the latter). In addition, I cannot imagine her giving up sovereignty of Hetil Bairviit stations easily...
In the region we are also working closely with associates of Ishukone for industry and mining. I am not so sure that they will be happy with this annexation either. The other megacorporations are bound to move in aggressively and compete for the available resources.
I hope the Empress will give us guidance soon.
