Well the iron blood event is done and dusted. The players have (rightly) sided with Her Majesty Keres Regina et Imperatrix the 7th, although with a closer margin than is comfortable. As players are curious as to the outcome of their descision, I sat down with the lore writer and asked the following. I hope it's enough to whet your appetite for more of VEGA Conflicts story.

What if the rebels had supported Larus?

Keres would have sought to regain control of the Iron Star Company on her own, at the risk of her life. If she'd succeeded, Keres would have broken her contract with the rebels, leaving them alone in their fight against VEGA. Any secret information she gathered about Larus would have disappeared with her.

Meanwhile, Larus would have shared a small amount of insider VEGA knowledge, as he usually does. This help would have been quite valuable, especially as the rebellion prepares to face new VEGA threats. Larus was also planning to reveal some crucial information about the Iron Star Company. Were they really mind-controlled by Bishop, or was there something else going on after all?

What are the consequences of supporting Keres?

Keres still wants to regain control of the Iron Star Company, but now she can do it with your help. The chances of breaking VEGA's grip on Iron Star and dissolving the Amber Army are significantly higher thanks to the rebellion's decision.

Since Keres is alive and well, she is also able to share some secret information about Larus and his involvement with the Blood Amber research project. There's also rumors that she might be interested in cooperating with Algol...

Larus is quite resourceful (and self-centered), so he's likely to keep himself alive. Certainly, he intends to keep running the Black Market for any rebels who support him. Unfortunately, his insider knowledge of VEGA won't be on sale; the rebellion will have to rely on their own intelligence gathering from now on.

Feel free to discuss among yourselves. Look for more from these characters in-game soon.

    All I can say is why brake out Larus when we needed him and then throw him away like trash in the end?

    Next is it really worth haveing tons of mercs to fight VEGA do they want money and etc. like most mercs do?

    Then We have the ever mysterious aliens that are still being wvaed around even though they haven't been fully developed from what KIXEYE has been saying.

    And it would make sense that LARUS is self centered he came from VEGA and wouldn't like to die at the hands of a rebel or Bishop and his troops. Also this makes him more valuable.

    So what does Keres know that she is holding off on too?

    Lurus sucks. If he was really on our side, he would of told us already about the vega secrets instead of hiding info from the Rebels. You lost now lurus.

    I like the quote "Certainly, he intends to keep running the Black Market for any rebels who support him."

    Well...I certainly doubt it, yet does this mean Larus supporters might get something the 'winners' whom supported Keres will not?  Or will Kere supporters get anything extra because they picked the victor?

    I know this all is based on the Vega Lore being written, but will any of this Lore impact awards or Black Market?   Yes, you indicated he will continue being the face yet is that all?

    Rick: Uh...Nobody's perfect, Commander.
    Roy: You haven't changed a bit, have you? Well, this isn't your dad's amateur flying circus. My men are real pilots.
    Rick: I'm gonna have to make you eat those words, Commander. Coming in.

    This seems like proof that larus was the way to go. Keres would have just abandoned us whereas even though we kicked larus out he is still willing to at least help us even if it's not with information.

    You will probably get the same thing that people who chose Larus got in Face-Off event, which is bragging rights for choosing the winning side.

    Why is Larus still around...he should be gone and someone else take over the black market.

    because hes the original helper hes been good to us if you didnt read both both sides confirmed that larus is good while both said keres is still questionable.

    So basically the only thing to gain from Larus was information? That is very disappointing imo, so the "Rebels" did choose the right choice this time... Though I still think the event was void...

    No. That quote was included because Larus has almost 50% of players behind him. Although Larus still lost, we don't want to write him out of the story when he has that level of support.

    The players choice does not affect the BM or the rewards. It would be incredibly unfair to give one side more prizes based off an arbitrary choice.

    Just like the fairness Kixeye proved when they gave players free ships and gold and sayed it was for players that were away from the game for a period of time. When there were several people in my alliance got the deals and they play every day. That sure is some good fairness

    Sure I did. I had it before the event started, when I did it to show a user how to add the banner to their signature.

    Well you could let Keres supportes get ISC stuff and Larus supporters vega stuff. T2 or T3 hull or something. Or even Bishop to gain V-sec and Algol to get our own rebel reseach going.

    ISC is T5. VSec and VEGA are T4. That would pretty much rig the vote.

    Haha still laughing. Both are the same Illusion. L or K both are under K's hand to milk the Players. At the end it won't change the fact that VC is P2W. No Balance. No correct competion.Lots of IMBA content. Go on, hail L or K.

    At the end you hail K to milk ya pockets.

    Ooh and as a bonus, when i read about the inventation code give away.LMAO
    The 2nd copie from BD after trying to copie wormhole point. K...better stop trying to bring in more dump stuff into VC and start to finish the over all unbalancing.

    Haha ;)

    What dafuk those guys are talking about? Kelus vs Lares pseudo-clash will never change nothing IG, that's just another lame smoke screen to mask the real void, which is not the space one but the game one.

    Another one stealing my void jokes lol. Speaking of voids...
