[@Wernher] Perhaps you wanna play this out? I've decided that Martin isn't above helping the Xenos as long as the Xenos are useful to them and if the Xenos can provide one good reason why the Black Sun should even consider helping them, however if it's with Konev, then they would share the same goal, to form a somewhat Democratic/Federal Republic, and perhaps with time develop somewhat like America did, with slavery and race/species equality being reached within the following years, which is also possible.
