The rebels attacking Equinox colonies have decided to strike harder than usual.
They seem to be opposed to the occupation of their planets by Upwell and capsuleer alliances, an understandable and legitimate reason given their morally questionable actions to gain more power than they already have.
But Upwell and the alliances are useful for the CONCORD assembly, they are useful in pushing back pirates, Triglavians and probably other threats in the future.
These factions deserve to have people rise up against them, but perhaps it would create an opportunity for dangerous groups to gain strength. The empires and other factions of the core are certainly powerful and capable of defending themselves, but I have the impression that these days, anything could happen. This would make these insurgents potentially a threat if they destabilize nullsec space too much or expand further into the cluster, but it would take a lot of time and resources, as well as powerful backers and allies.
Perhaps in their anger, they could become as violent and controlling as their enemies if they are too determined to eliminate all threats to them, even if it means attacking innocent people. Depending on their ideology, perhaps the Deathless or pirates could come to the militia’s aid. Maybe it’s already the case. If so, it would be problematic.
I should check by myself by getting information on them or from them, willingly or by force. I’ll probably have to kill some of them despite their probably good intentions, or the fact that they might not be that dangerous or problematic.
I don’t want to attack probably like-minded people like them, I probably would have gladly helped them if I was sure it would be beneficial for the people of nullsec and not already on Upwell’s side during insurrections, but I have to do it.
