Mining Mediation
Two mining companies need an outside mediator to settle a dispute over rights to an asteroid field. In exchange, they're offering equipment we can use to enhance our Upgrade Facility.
The choice
What the operation puts to you, and how each answer turned out. Where a choice has two outcomes, it is one that can go wrong.
ADeclare Chlii'Tra has rights to the whole field.
Chlii'Tra was pleased, but Somnos disputed our decision and had our team ejected from the meeting. Someone else will have to resolve this.
BDeclare Somnos has rights to the whole field.
Somnos was pleased, but Chlii'Tra disputed our decision and had our team ejected from the meeting. Someone else will have to resolve this.
CTap our network. We can use our contact network and zone influence to determine the best split.
Runa couldn't do much with our meager zone influence. Our team was only able to make surface level suggestions at the mediation. The mining companies paid us for our time, but no more.
Runa leveraged our zone influence to come up with a reasonably fair solution for splitting the asteroid field. Both parties seem pleased with the arrangement, and we were compensated well.
Our high level of zone influence allowed Runa to map out an even split of the asteroid field tailored to each company's mining capabilities. Grateful for our services, the mining companies gifted us a banquet to share with the team, in addition to our handsome rate.
The choice
Chlii'Tra, a company with Separatist ties, and Somnos Minerals, a civilian operation, each independently discovered a valuable Hfredium seam in an asteroid field. Now, both companies are claiming rights to the whole field. How should we settle this?
