The 10th don’t want to leave their planet, since it’s still theirs.
So Essex offers to have them come out of hiding. And they do. The 10th Ghost have removed themselves from hiding, taking up pickets in various places on the planet. They will wait to see if we keep to our word.
This will remove our need to have as many defenders on world, and it also prevents a lot of the anticipated guerilla activity.
One of the unseen values of taking the WarShip from the Combine is that it will take longer to build a flotilla that’ll take us out, with one less WarShip for them and one more for us.
Right now the Draconis Combine counter attack is still underway, and they have a lot of their naval assets tied up in guarding their forces out there.
So we have more time than previously expected.
