UPDATE: 06/04/827 A.S.

Adrienne Perry has remained in hiding for the past year. Although there were plans for her to be deployed to Gallia, the war ended. Her work was done. After a decade since she was captured by Gallic forces and imprisoned, the nation that robbed her of two years of her life had fallen. Like many, she had a special bottle for this occasion, her poison was moonshine. But, a huge part of her life and her sense of purpose had now disappeared. She remained with her family for the time being, raising her young children.

Somehow, everything in Sirius remained the same. There was no major geopolitical shift after the war. Sirius had a sense of stability that defied logic. In a pool of piracy, terrorism and exploitative corporations and corrupt governments, a basic middle class sustained itself in most houses, save for Rheinland. Opportunists continued to flood the border worlds and edge worlds for raw materials that would be exported and processed into marketable foods at House space. But the possibility of a coming shift in the balance of power could never truly be discounted.

Her former employer, the government of Bretonia whom she had infiltrated on behalf of the Liberty Security Force had made strides despite its position. The weakest house, expanding to obtain two new planets and systems. Liberty had elected a new President and her foreign policy objectives remained unclear [Source]. Perry was once a stalwart proponent of the Anglophone-dominated NATO alliance between Liberty, Bretonia and the Colonial Republic. But it was clear to her this alliance would not be respected by the Bretonians; at least while they were under the thumb of the Monarchist, anti-Libertonian Steiner family.

In January 827 A.S., she was introduced to Danny Cohen, a former Liberty Security Force officer and active [LN]-ESRD officer. Together, they collected data on Sirius, an ungodly amount of data. Economic data, historical statistics dating back to Earth, trends on cardamine usage, most ships constructed, the number of computers and neural links manufactured on each planet, average losses on battle for each House military etc. (Source) Whatever data they could get their hands on, they did. Think tanks and university research groups were created for the sole purpose of creating a long-term doctrine to build Liberty into a Superpower.

The Control Group

The Control Group is a nationalist subversive pro-Liberty government paramilitary/intelligence organization. It exists to advance the national interests of Liberty both within and outside of its borders without the constraints of the law, rules of engagement, government bureaucracy, top-down micromanagement or diplomatic consequences. Many of its members disagree with the strategic direction of Liberty’s foreign and security policy. They believe Liberty should be more interventionist in its approach to the other Houses.

To achieve this goal, several former Liberty government officials, military and intelligence officers developed the Geostrategic Convergence Doctrine. The idea behind this doctrine is based on a book authored by Peter Zeihan titled The Accidental Superpower. Zeihan argues that the Republic of Liberty has the potential to become a superpower by controlling access to trade throughout Sirius. In addition to expanding the Liberty Navy’s size, strength and technological superiority, a network of military bases would have to be established in the independent worlds and border worlds. This would allow the Liberty Navy access to these distant regions as the bases would create a logistical supply chain to allow the Navy ships to resupply, re-arm and refuel outside of Liberty’s immediate borders. This is turn, would allow Liberty to project military force on a sector-wide scale.

During wartime, this doctrine would ensure Liberty’s national security by keeping any war as far from Liberty’s border’s as possible hence preventing an invasion of Liberty’s space by a foreign power, the way Gallia did in California (Source). During peacetime, the navy could be used to protect trade routes and civilian shipping between the houses from piracy and terrorism hence making the other houses dependent on Liberty for access to interstellar trade. Without trade, the other houses would fall behind economically.

This would create a geopolitical shift in favour of Liberty. But Perry was worried. Was she doing this because she loved the Republic of Liberty? Or was she unable to live, or breathe, without running a Black Operation?

Signed,
Adrienne Perry
