Prepare Yourselves: Info Broker Matticus Astra

How many of your secrets does he know?

Almost a year ago we made a contact from one of the smaller alliances that would prove to be most fruitful. A longtime New Eden resident who even ran an ad in our merchant section. His name? Matticus Astra, his profession? Information Broker. Recently he entered into an agreement with GNN for exclusive and inside information on everything in the galaxy. According to him, he possesses one of the extensive information networks in New Eden, and he is willing to share information with us when he sees fit. In our first piece he shared info about a massive plot forming, a naughty CCP employee and how longtime EVE corporations squashed the talk of Dust CSM representation. Keep reading for the details!

Who's the most dangerous mercenary in the galaxy at this stage? Oh thats easy, some would say its the CEO of The Imperfects, The Pink Fluffy Bounty Hunters or a group like SI. I happen to think its the CCP Employee feeding intel to his corporation. But i'm sure he and I will have a long talk before its all done and come to some kind of agreement. He has a lot to lose after all.

What other juicy info can you give us? If things work out I have some exceptionally heinous information that will force a corp CEO to step down, but i'll have to see if its worth more to him for me to keep his secret than it is for you to hear it.

 
People are still talking about the execution of the Red Star Corp robbery, but weeks ago you told us about thieves in another notable corp. Would you care to share their identities now? No. Its worthless to me if I give it away for free. I may approach the CEO at some point. These newer CEOs seem to think the ability to kill and integrity are related. I predict many tears to follow.

Are The Goons here in Dust? Silly question, of course they are. Betamax and SI are both under the Goon umbrella, Sha Kharn Clone was Goonwaffe in the past and this makes him an exceptional ally to them as he should know plenty about how they do things. There is another corp affiliated as well, but I will reveal that another day.

Chime in on this #DustAFK situation. As I dont own a console I can hardly comment. But from what you described I can tell you no EVE corporation (NPC or otherwise) will pay mercs that dont fight as intended. CCP will surely find a solution for the cowardly.

What about this plot you mentioned months ago? Long story short: A few small alliances feel threatened by a pretty large one. They intend to launch a preemptive strike. I may reveal both identities at some point if it serves my purposes.

Does Dust need CSM representation? Zion Shad and Kain Spero seem to think so. Both have already botched their chances but the biggest factor is Dust isn't ready for the CSM representation yet and won't be taken seriously for some time. Larger forces are at work as well. There was a combined effort to destroy the credibility of both by long time corporations.

We always leave the floor open for our interviewee, so the floor is yours for the final question. Anything you'd like to share is fine with us. It should be obvious that my network is considerable. If you are in need of my services, need info protection or would like to trade intel or become a part of my network.
