I think he just said that they won't be 'truly based on RWBY.'

Wait. Aren't they warp capable?
Otherwise due to talking with them Rosalee would be in the middle of a Prime Direct court marshal right now.

We did follow them back. We followed one of their science ships back.

Eyup. Note how suicide shuttles don't ignore shields (cruise missiles ignore shields in HW) and how the Kadeshi/Sotaw don't have combat time starship construction or drone weapons (the Somtaaw have both).

Celos City Emergency Administration Broadcasts
Please remain in your homes or in your public shelters for your own safety. Unexploded ordnance and damaged infrastructure mean that it is unsafe on the streets. The Union government is clearing these as quickly as possible, but you must remain off the streets to allow us to do our jobs...

Task Force Commander's Log, ATSF Task Force 2, Commodore Nash ka'Sharren
Life as a Knight of the Lileac has been interesting. I haven't seen this much combat since 33 Fujit.
To be truthful, I am alarmed. Far from having to inspire my charges, my chief concern is reining them in. The image of Lironh as glowing cinders is driving them on recklessly. I have managed to get them to obey some semblance of restraint. One of their escorts and a Hebrinda took a beating, but in exchange we have destroyed a full outpost and a number of small stations dotted through systems around Orion space. In addition, a pair of Syndicate cruisers have been destroyed, and a number of smaller ships, including Yrillian made Carryalls. Targets have begun to dry up, and Starfleet Intelligence and Amarkian intel have both been unable to provide additional vectors. Whatever is left of the Syndicate's interstellar forces has gone into deep cover or else fled Union space.

Ant-Slavery Task Force Progress Report
One thing that is clear in the aftermath was that the Syndicate was no longer in a position where they could hold a planet like they attempted. The Celos uprising, we are discovering by analysing signal intercepts, was never intended to take the planet, only to occupy and divert from the Duaba siege. As a result, far too much of the nervous system of the Syndicate was exposed, and the USSC, the Rixx Scrutineers, and Office 24 have all been hard at work clipping every nerve ending that comes to light. The prisons are now full of carefully detained high-ranking Syndicate members.
This includes a surprising number of elected officials, mostly from outside of the government of the day, but some within. These are being purged with alacrity. As a result, the President is about to propose sweeping new changes to legislation and the constitution. They refer to this as the Completion of the Revolution. If they can move swiftly, they can harness the anti-Corporate anger of the Orion people and make lasting changes.

FUCK YEAH
Oneiros, will we get to see the political impact (heh) of the >100 Syndicate cost before the snakepit?
edit: Also, now that I think about it, we're quite lucky we didn't get any cost from the whole Celos takeover thing that precipitated the precipice.

Things were bad. Sentiment was tense, then we threw Nash at the problem in a fancy new uniform, and she had an impact!
Wow, that was one hell of a quarter. It would be a mistake to count the Syndicate completely out, but they're losing a lot of ground. 50 Impact... and 0 Cost. I look forward to what @Iron Wolf and @AKuz will tell us about the Completion of the Revolution.

Do note that this isn't anywhere near over. We've managed to apppy, even with this turn, only about 300/800 Impact. Maybe a bit more, but not that much. And all the high-impact stuff we did this turn was the result of Celos and taking out the Syndicate's fleet, so I doubt we'll be doing 50 Impact a turn. It wouldn't shock me if between mopping up and regular income we manage to hit 400/800 this year (a very optimistic read of our situation could put us at 340/800 right now and 60 Impact over 3 quarters should be very doable), but we'll be back to slogging soon enough.

we avoided that catastrophe because of celos
and man, the syndicate got stomped on hard this quarter.
Probably the more important thing from our perspective is that we had an entire quarter with 0 Cost. It's been a long, long time since we've seen that. If the Syndicate ability to act has been pared back enough, we can live with three or four more years of mopping up. It's having Starfleet's entire political will income drained by the Orion campaign that has been so painful.

56 impact for the quarter (6 was from the Captain's logs). Man that was great
Considering how we've been calling this Space!Iraq; our victory at Celos and (hopefully) hitting the second to last Impact threshold * by the end of this year means we're at the point we could declare "Mission Accomplished". Fortunately unlike IRL odds are we'll actually see this through until things are actually finished.
*As a Reminder it went 100, 200, 400, and 800 Impact.

Fortunately unlike in Iraq we had an actual plan beyond "roll in, blow shit up, declare victory".
