Working on Vess and her Sister Tiff's relationship
🕑 Added 2025-09-10 23:04:23 +0000 UTCIn the game you first meet Tiff but I want to leave subtle hints about Vess and their relationship.
Both of them are top of the food chain, and questionable ethics - but they are both highly competent too. The difference lies in how far their ethics diverge - Tiff serves the Vanguard and puts job first. But when shes' off duty, anything goes.
Vess is as corrupt as they come, having built her own empire in piracy and now laundering her money through the purchase of the black fleet. What's her end game?

Oh dang, i love this idea! Really great thinking here - and it does kind of fall inline with her expansionist enterprise mindset

That at least guarantee's your kids will be top of the ladder!

IMHO, Vess’ endgame would be to use her laundered money to establish a legal enterprise, one specialising in terraforming (or, taking into account her species’ homeworld, “alaraforming”) planets devastated by the Drone Fleet, with possible branches dealing with infrastructure (re)construction, mining, manufacturing, etc. In short, she would establish a Sekarri version of Weyland-Yutani Corporation. Think about this in this way: if the Drone Fleet manages to kill everyone in the Milky Way galaxy, then there will be no shame in doing what she does, because there will be no one left to point out her possible failure. However, since she is a “shrewd businesswoman,” she may be willing to take a long shot and bet everything on the Drone Fleet being stopped. This outcome would result in the remaining space-faring civilisations in need of a contractor willing to undertake large-scale projects, one which she would be more than happy to provide, thus multiplying her fortune, ensuring opulent retirement in the future and establishing her legacy as a synonym of success.

The end game for both of them is being nice and knocked up by Straker ;)
