As a lot of the defenders rush through the fortress gates, hurrying to carry out whatever orders they were given by this apparent leader figure, you effectively rattle off a list of questions to the bipedal figure, and he listens silent and intent as you list them all off. The man nods before starting to answer your numerous questions,
"Hmmm, where to start ... might as well start with explaining just who we are, and about the Technocracy whose forces you just helped annihilate. The group I lead and represent is called the White Hounds, we are a conglomeration of rebels, outcasts, dissidents and more who have made our home here away from the influence of the Technocracy's tyranny, our goal is to bring down the Technocracy for the good of everyone on this hellhole of a world. This massive rock you see behind me is the home of the White Hounds, Gerald's Peak as its been called ever since our ancestors came and colonized this moon in hope of further prosperity, it holds the entirety of our group which is around forty thousand and of those all but roughly three thousand are noncombatants.
The people you helped us fight are the Technocracy, they started out as a council of military advisers who had ran the military facility that this moon used to be before everything went to hell. I guess the bastards got a taste for power when the survivors of the planet's destruction came here, and subjected themselves to Technocracy rule, the only chance any of them had at a decent life at the time. From there it just slowly devolved into what it is nowadays, the Technocracy is a totalitarian state where the government decides a citizen's worth and distributes them as they see fit. Most of the population under Technocracy rule lives in crushing poverty and are forced to do back breaking, life endangering jobs with minimal equipment as the government keeps all but a small set of technology firmly under their control.
Most of the armories on the planet were emptied out and taken to to the Technocracy's primary base back when they first started to form so they have access to a substantial amount of highly advanced weaponry, and machinery just like what you saw them using now. Despite that only the core of their army, their most trusted members, are allowed to use it, those commoners they force into the military use weapon and gear fit for soldiers from a feudal era. As for the numbers of the Technocracy, they are a fairly large nation, and powerful here so its somewhere in the millions though how much of those are fighting forces is anyone's guess at this point."
When you ask about the ground to space capabilities Pentus pauses for a moment, the silence seems to stretch on for a very long time to your highly focused being before finally Pentus clears his throat. He seems a bit uncertain as he speaks,
"This moon used to be a military installation, so back before the Fall there was twenty something, as the military back then like to put it, super heavy anti-space batteries buried beneath the surface waiting to come alive, and be lifted up to the surface to utterly destroy any fleet aiming for the planet. Though the power required for such an installation is probably far beyond the Technocracy unless the pour every resource they have into powering one which would pretty much cripple their entire system, now that I think about it that would be a good opportunity to launch an attack if they ever power one of those damn things. As for what happened to this moon, it was human arrogance and greed Aegis, human greed can destroy anything given enough time, and it sure as hell did that planet ...
Any way lets get off the more unpleasant topics, thanks again for your help Aegis it was a great help, as for aid in the underground tunnels it won't be necessary, with their surface force broken the groups in the tunnel will fall back soon since they have no hopes of reinforcements coming to their rescue. Now lets move onto negotiations, I'd like to secure your aid in fighting a war Aegis, in exchange you'll get an ally, I'll give you several locations of what should be abandoned mines on this moon, the opportunity to take samples of every bit of military tech the Technocracy have, .... and one of those super heavy batteries you can disassemble and do with as you wish. What do you say?"
