Galileo Mining Rights

[Catto]

Which point would an unaffiliated corporation assisting extraction by Kusari and Libertonian authorized corporations fall under?

Consider that mining ops can be assisted by haulers from other IFFs for both lore and practical reasons. There are arguments for and against allowing that.

Obviously it'd be better to involve more people and actors as is in terms of pure productivity and overall economy health. However, allowing said unaffiliated actors to affect regulated extraction would also inevitably make one side unable to compete, due to the overall political landscape favoring it. In the spirit of any agreement zoning out the system, assistance from the outside should be prohibited or heavily limited.

A more sensitive extension of the issue is that not only miners and haulers can be involved, but also defense forces can operate in the region to protect mining operations. This can lead to skirmishing, proxy attacks, etc. I think it necessitates designating a neutral party to oversee defense in the region, and it should be one unaffiliated with any of the mining corporations.

In summary, if platinum mining is to be distributed between DSE, Kishiro, Samura, and Bristol, they need to demilitarize their presence in the area and hire a common defense contractor to oversee security, whilst limiting transport and mining assistance to either solely themselves or their immediate allies.
