Why Allied Defense Outcomes matters
This consequence comes from performance rather than a visible dialogue choice, which means apparently optional losses may matter beyond a mission score.
What is confirmed—and what is not
The number of ships that must survive, whether named crew map to vessels, and when the outcome locks are unknown.
Practical player guidance
Prioritize threats attacking allies and wait for retail testing before treating mission completion alone as the best narrative outcome.
