In 2360, at the end of a blood-soaked war started by a martyred dictator, the power-hungry CEO of Stahl Industries unleashed a genocidal weapon on the inhabitants of Helghan. In the months that followed, blood and water flowed in equal measure as tyrant battled tyrant until, at last, the people cried out as one and those that would see them ground underfoot were silenced.

Since those seven days in May and the Adenium Revolution that followed, much has changed on Helghan...

      -[X] Independence Day
      --[X] Accepting Independence's offer
      -[X] Atlas Shrugged
      --[X] Write-in: Send in a negotiator first to try to persuade the "settlers" to come quietly use messages from friends and loved ones, the lack of resources and resupply, any pre-existing medical conditions, the unknown dangers of Charybdis's biosphere and offers of clemency in court (they are trespassing after all) for anyone who comes peacefully, if/when people reject this offer send in the police equipped with the best gear and protection to limit the risk and with orders not to use deadly force unless absolutely required and anyone who resists arrest will have the book thrown at them.
      --[X] While this is happening start a media campaign to discredit the idea of starting more such wildcat settlements and present the "settlers" as the foolish irresponsible headaches that they are, use facts about the potential dangers of an unexplored world, the massive costs and effort such an endeavour requires and point out that if people want to leave Helghan or even the Republic there proper channels to go through.
      --[X] No matter how it happens the would be colonists and anyone who sets foot on the Charybdis will be going into quarantine until we can be sure no one has picked up anything dangerous from the planet.
      -[X] Allan B. Calhamer's Diplomacy
      --[X] Write in: Refuse to return the refugees or pay reparations then send in intel operatives to find anything that can be used to justify a proper take over of the planet while spreading positive rumours about the Republic (for example "They live on a death world but live better lives then us", "Their so rich some of them take leisure trips to other worlds", "worlds that join the Republic become rich too", etc) backed up by "smuggled out" evidence and starting an underground railroad.
      -[X] Subsidised arms sales: By selling Rockwellawan's government high-quality arms at rock bottom prices, the Republic can engender goodwill with the system.

      -[X] Invest in Battlemech Construction and Maintenance Facilities: Though the Republic currently has a standing force of battlemechs on Helghan, the parts needed to maintain and repair these vehicles must be custom made to order or else purchased from our neighbours.

      [x] H405 Keyzer: A worthy successor to the venerable StA-52, the Keyzer continues with Helghast weapon design tradition by melding a bullpup rifle with a high-capacity drum magazine to create something halfway between an assault rifle and a light machine gun. Taking into account feedback from the Helghan military, Hephaestus has motorized the magazine to allow for faster reloading and have introduced a variety of attachments ranging from ACOG scopes to underslung missile launchers.
      [x] ASF Design: (Design a Helghan VTOL-version of Sabre SB-2x optimized for assembly-line construction methods having rough field capability using an XL engine whilst maintaining utmost parts compability with the original Inner Sphere SB-26/SB-27b/SB-28/SB-29 designs. It was/is already being produced in the Magistracy by MMM and in the Taurian Concordat by Pinard Proctorates so these be approached for purchase of design specs. The Goal of this design activity is to eventually embark on a massive program of ASF expansion by providing multiple massive fighter wings for each member world of the Helghan Republic. Due to the XL engine alone this is a longterm project requiring multiple turns)

      [X] Secure the cooperation of local police forces and get eyes back on the hostiles.
      [X] Write In: "Murderer hunt": Bring the local police and public transport (through the mayor if necessary) on board to locate the spies , frame it as a prison break by several violent criminals who are a danger to the public. Circulate the faces and assumed names of the spies publicly to get the public onboard but emphasize that security forces are hot on the trail. Mark the spies as "armed and dangerous" and that if people spot the spies then they should get away from them and place a police report.Lock the trains down and send in the Gendarmes to capture the spies then send agents to bring the spies in under the guise of the prison service reclaiming them for transfer to a super-max facility.

Request all petrusite facilities to perform a stockpile and security audit as part of a new series of regular checks for facilities storing and handling such a dangerous material. Quietly inform the heads of petrusite research centres and universities that there have been reports of the "escaped individuals" near to their premises and that they should look towards either sheltering in place or evacuating but suggest that an evacuation would be preffered. This also allows us to station police and gendarme units around such facilities without arousing too much suspicion.

      -[X] Write-in: Remotely cut power to shut down the train and have a sniper take out subject Theta then, once it has slowed down divert the train to a spur track to avoid a slaughter at the terminal or a derail, and finally send the gendarmes.
      -[X]Warehouse (Pyrrus) Write-in: Attempt to infiltrate surveillance automata into the warehouse to gather information. During the infiltration, prepare an assault force and make them ready to hit the building. Also have surveillance watching the underground systems around the Warehouse incase they are used as an escape route or other function.
      -[X]Spyhunt (Konstantine) Rope any remotely relevant organization into the search and damn the potential for leaks.
