Marcel Devereux, CEO of Aideron Robotics, and creator of the widely popular "New Aura" project announced today his intentions to throw his resources behind the Federation Navy at war with the Caldari State. This comes after last weeks call-to-arms by the Federation, which has been rapidly losing ground to the Caldari since the drug Inferno has brought escalation to the conflict between factions.
"It is simply time that we must defend our home from the tyranny of the Caldari" Marcel said during his press conference this morning, "It is no longer viable to sit back and watch others use our weapons, it is time for Aideron Robotics to become the weapon we need in this war." Several other members of Aiderons' board of directors showed support for their CEO and his decision. Although we do not know what will happen to Aiderons' Industry Juggernaut during a conflict with the State, TheAhmosis has assured us in an interview that it will be "taken care of".
So what does this mean for the faction war? It may be too early to tell. Aideron Robotics has maintained a defense wing that has stood its ground in the past. Ashterothi, another director of AIDER and defector from the Amarr Empire stated to the press, "Now is not the time to stand idly by as others fight and die. Our freedom is at stake. My only hope is that our gesture will encourage others who enjoy their freedom to stand up and defend it."
