Collusion

EVENT OVERVIEW[ | ]

“	This crazy plan may be our only option!	”
	— Burr

Pharmakon have adapted the Battlecruiser design as their own with an aggressive ability to suppress Ablation. Bishop's plan to outmaneuver them may seem like our only option but having a common enemy doesn't mean he can be trusted.

DESCRIPTION[ | ]

Collusion is the 57th event in VEGA Conflict. Bishop has a plan to outmaneuver the Pharmakon, but only time will tell if it will work.

Umbra Council Assembly Official Transcript Agenda: Pharmakon Eradication

Bishop: I have gathered you all here to propose a solution which will eliminate the Pharmakon threat from the Vega System. It appears that the Pharmakon AI is configured to eliminate any organic matter which can host the Xeno Virus, however it's highest priority is the infected.

Generations ago, The Altairians escaped from Pharmakon by traveling through a hypergate and destroying it, trapping the threat in their home galaxy. If we reconstruct the hypergate we can lure them through with fleets of Harvesters into the depths of space.

Klavic: Your solution is ill-advised Bishop! Reopening the hypergate could unleash even more of these self-replicating machines into our system. The level of threat we have here does not begin to scratch the surface of what Pharmakon are capable of!

Burr: By isolating them in a distant sector it would be easier for our fighters to deal with them, Klavic. We can mitigate the collateral damage of our innocent denizens. This crazy plan may be our only option!

Bishop:

Then we have a majority: I propose a toast to our coalition!

”

— Klavic, Bishop, Burr
