Operation: Change The Balance of Power

[HMS_Vesper]

Top level idea: It would be nice to start to see some of what we do make a big difference in the Corpus-Grineer-Infested balance of power/war.

Speculation on how that might manifest:
I would propose an operation, consisting of a series of invasions for each of the relay syndicates. In place of the Razorback or Fomorian, however, there would be an either ground-bound or Railjack mission to seize a piece of territory.

If it's successful, the relevant planet gains a node for the syndicate in question similar to Iron Wake's node on Earth. Let us see the kinds of things they do; maybe Perrin's base would have them helping pay off Solaris debts, or Suda's could be an archive of knowledge that would have been destroyed under the Grineer.

Then, parlay that node into a bounty hub for the planet it's on, giving it the vibe of a frontline base of operations. Make it function like some of the more recent syndicates, where they offer bounties for normal mission types in the location.

I could see the nodes being something like:

• Steel Meridian: A fort or camp on Mars, relocating Grineer defectors and local refugees to villages under their protection.
• Arbiters of Hexis: A court or training ground on Lua, working to retrieve lost knowledge and protect it from competing Grineer and Corpus scavengers.
• Cephalon Suda: Either Jupiter or its Proxima, a flying tower in the upper atmosphere dispatching missions to prevent Corpus research facilities from monetizing/privatizing knowledge they've acquired.
• Perrin Sequence: A company town on Pluto, working to pay off the debts that keep Solaris in bondage and set up new homes/lives for them.
• Red Veil: Either Deimos (for the Orokin Derelict tileset, which is most appropriate to them) or the Void; specializing in purging the Infested/Corrupted and strengthening the Veil against the Man in the Wall.
• New Loka: Either Earth or its Proxima, a thriving garden-town (or -station) specializing in undoing Grineer efforts at poisoning the biosphere. They take refugees from Earth villages and resettle them in different parts of the globe as part of their ecosystem re-seeding efforts.

This is the end of the core suggestion, but I also think it'd be neat to then add perennial Syndicate invasions on their planets whose rewards are items from their Offering shops, for those who aren't aligned with them (similar to how the Grineer and Corpus pay us with stuff we can't get otherwise).

This is just my idea, but at the end of the day I'd like to see the work we do to try and improve the system start to pay off a little bit. It's not following the vein of the current storyline, but as much as we're involved with the Void I still care about protecting the Ostrons, the Myconians...anyone who's still on Mars, if we're lucky, etc. I'd love to hear other folks' ideas on how that might manifest as well!
