Aside from relying on deterrence, the only other viable way to guard them is through relying on mercenary contracts and allies. 'We don't have any strong solutions that can guarantee that people won't mess around with our planetary branches. Leaving for another major expedition essentially meant that they would have to leave their large and valuable landbound holdings behind. However, their lack of eagerness to commit to Davute would probably come to haunt them sooner or later. Right now, the Larkinson Clan and the Cross Clan were in an overwhelmingly strong position, so much so that they were already moving to become one of the major power blocks of Davute. Whole lives were ruined every day in order to further the ambitions of more successful competitors. These were the results of hidden struggles that might not be as violent as open battle but could be just as vicious as one. They also reported on companies that suddenly reconciled with their former competitors and merged with them to form larger organizations. The local news portals regularly reported about companies that suddenly went bankrupt and got taken over by other companies. The fighting merely took place in a different arena and form that was out of sight to the public. However, that did not mean that all of the power plays and confrontations had disappeared. Due to every stakeholder's overarching need to present Davute as a safe and fair port system, no one wanted to cause chaos and trigger panic among the population. Even a place as openly calm and peaceful as Davute was not as stable as it appeared on the surface. The rules of the game were different in the new frontier. You know how ruthless and cutthroat the people in the frontier have become.' While we are still able to deter many parties from doing anything to our assets and people that we have left behind, what if something happens to us? What if we fall out of contact for an extended period of time? Both our Cross Production Center and your Cat Nest will become increasingly more attractive targets. No one dares to do anything to our people because the bulk of our forces are close at hand. 'For now, everything is okay because we have concentrated our entire strength here. Any shock to the system can easily cause the cards to collapse, thereby exposing the people stationed in this star system to the coveting gazes of others.' 'Though the authorities and power blocs of Davute have made great strides in developing this planet and maintaining law and order, the society that they have built in this corner of space is like a house of cards. 'We are both mech designers who have witnessed how low people can go when they think they can get away with their deeds.' Benedict said in a lower tone. 'What are your clan's concerns, exactly?' The only pertinent issue that will bother us is what we should do for the people we are leaving behind in Davute.' We will be able to bring plenty of ships and mechs if that is what you are concerned about. 'Hmm.' Professor Benedict paused and thought for a moment. 'Do you guys have any special concerns or demands?' Ves asked.

With their leader in such a hurry to fight, the Crossers would definitely be willing to play along and become an enthusiastic participant of the Trailblazer Expedition. Reginald's lust for glory and battle worked out well in this situation. Ves already expected Reginald to be eager to flex his new muscles and that of his soon-to-be-upgraded Mars, but for the ace pilot to be so quick to disregard the safety of his fellow Crossers was concerning. His authority and recognition was too great. It was hard to deny the powerful ace pilot's wishes. Patriarch Reginald… is incredibly eager to test his new strength against actual opponents.' Even if you did not decide to depart Davute in order to pursue greater opportunities, he would have taken his clan out for a different purpose. 'What do you think, Ves? There is no way he is going to miss out on all of the action that will be sure to haunt your tracks. He didn't think it would be that easy to gain a positive response from the Crossers. 'We will be ready to depart alongside your fleet when the time has come.' The older man only paused for a brief moment before he nodded.

Though he decided to contact Professor Benedict as opposed to the Cross Patriarch, the mech designer was authoritative enough to speak on behalf of the clan. It is likely still broadly correct but not verified for the most up to date data yet.Compared to the hesitant and problematic Glory Seekers, Ves obtained a much better impression of the Cross Clan.

Ships with this mod can not use crewed fighters. This only occurs on AI ships, some of which can be salvaged with the tier 5 Automated Ships skill. This ship is fully automated, and does not require - and can not take on - any human crew.
