Notes
In 3056 it is stated that Khorsakov's Cossacks were working with Free Capella under Tormano Liao. They were part of a planned operation that would have hit Shiloh alnog with Peter Steiner-Davion. Kai Allard Liao paid off the Colonel Nikohali Khorsakhov. This was discussed in detail in Assumption of Risk. Which throws off the timeline of the signing with St.Ives Compact. [2]
