[Tuchanka] Krogan Alliance Launches Legal Challenge

Krogan Alliance Launches Legal Challenge

Cross-Posted from the Tuchanka Times

Northern Alliance, Tuchanka – The Northern Alliance today officially lodged a legal challenge with the Citadel Council regarding travel restrictions currently enforced on all relay shipping.

Several months prior to the Reaper War, clan Gothteng of the Northern Alliance had been issued a special dispensation exempting them from the travel restrictions placed on krogan clans and enforced by CDEM. No details are available on the reason for the original dispensation, but sources within the Citadel indicate that the motion passed due to some unexpected support from factions in the government and despite CDEM’s official protest. In the months leading up to the war ship registrations with clan Gothteng increased substantially, leading detractors to accuse them of breaching the spirit of the agreement. An investigation was halted when the Reapers arrived, and in the aftermath of the war was not resumed.

The Northern Alliance legal challenge centers around this dispensation, arguing that the exemption from travel restrictions should also apply to the licenses currently required for Citadel-Space relay travel.

No comment has been forthcoming from the Council’s legal representatives.

Well at least it's progress.

Given that this "agreement" exempted them from the travel restrictions of a defunct group I doubt anything will come of it.

None of the groups mentioned are defunct.

How the fuck did you (allegedly) survive the Abyss, being as dumb as you are?

I dunno.

Maybe CDEM might not exist anymore.

Certainly not in the same capacity it once did. Not there, anyway. Still there, but not really the same anymore, if I'm not mistaken.

That's reserved for the yahg now.

It still exists, and it's still there, it's just more focused on Parnack now than Tuchanka. Hardly 'defunct'.

Good fucking luck to the rock lizards, Gothteng's got about a snowball's chance in a supernova given that, ya know, they're not your Council's bestest fuck buddies like Urdnot.

Still though, if they don't at least try to bring the lizards to the table for some shit (don't give me that, there's always some shit that somebody wants an they've got the clan by at least one ball here) then the CC's seriously fucked in the head.

I think this is the part where I lol.

Seems like a simple enough solution to me. The Council states that Gothteng still has dispensation to ignore CDEM-imposed travel restrictions in Krogan space. The fact that CDEM no longer imposes said restrictions, and that current relay limitations come from a different source, are entirely immaterial to the argument. If the Northern Alliance thinks they can get around these restrictions through a technicality, it is only fitting for them to be thwarted by one.
