Typically all the conditions of a level need to be filled before decisions will be made with the next level above as the primary motivator. The Hierarchy was developed by Abraham Maslow as a means to classify the motivation behind decision making. A good place to start here is Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. So if we rule out time, that leaves us with an analysis based on perceptions. However, the Imperium is clearly the Sov holder in Delve, and has yet to be contested as such, so the time component again fails to provide a metric. The years that various Imperium alliances had held that space meant nothing under the onslaught of MBC forces. Any arguments that the Imperium continued to really hold sovereignty in the north after a point before it was officially lost have counter arguments that hold weight. The reason for this has to do with the eviction of the Imperium from the North earlier this year. These two factors can be combined into something we do not want to use as part of our definition: the amount of time that a particular piece of space has been controlled. In order for an entity to “really hold” sovereignty, they need to do more than just own the Sov structures (TCU/IHUB) but also cannot be expected to never lose it as long as Tranquility is running. With the two definitions above that we can rule out right away, the framework of a true definition begins to take shape. As such, it would be a poor choice of definition.Īn Infrastructure Hub. Over a prolonged conflict this would be a near impossibility to prevent any timers from being generate, regardless of the group this standard is applied to. With the nature of Aegis sovereignty, there are very few entities that could even hope of doing this for even a short period of time. We can also rule out the opposite extreme, that an entity must be able to defend against all incursions against its sovereignty without any losses. This is just too broad to be of any use and also has no bearing on the ability of the entity to keep that TCU or IHUB around. First to go is just having a Territorial Control Unit or Infrastructure Hub (TCU and IHUB respectively) installed in a system. They would either include too much or rule out too many. Right at the beginning, we can discard a couple definitions as impractical. Our discussion began at the same place as many ideas, what does not work to accomplish the goal. We arrived at a very interesting definition and it’s an excellent companion alongside Dracos’ reflection to explore how we arrived at it. What came up next sparked a long and winding discussion in our editorial group “How do we define really holding sov?”. With the announced TEST and Co2 move to the region of Curse, one of the writers on INN staff, Dracos Rhaghar, has voiced concerns about how, should Circle of Test subjugate nearby regions, it could be the death knell of small sov-holding entities that are not in some way vassals of a major power.
