What older brother Li is refering to is a simple strategic form of causing tension within the enemy lines through misinformation. The move by the attacking forces to try to create a gap within the Venal forces is a classic example to study.

The analysis made by the attackers in this case shows that venal just like any other society is built around certain groups of people. To a great extent in venal's case pirates fill out the position of the best fighters within the alliance, while TTI certainly at that point was one of the strongest financial entitites within the whole of EVE. As you can tell the names of the other corps who were present are forgotten by people who even to this day try to survive in Venal. These same nameless people, lets call them the masses, consisting of minor corps aswell as corps like jericho who at that point were insignificant from a military and monetary viewpoint are also where the attackers decide to strike.

Now what happens is obviously known, Jade runs along the path painted by the attackers and indeed tries to cause the very thing they wanted to happen, she tries to get the alliance to vote out its prime moneymakers and military might.

Mission accomplished, the defenders are not only thrown into disarray, she also manages to take away what trust might have existed within the alliance prior to that point. And above all, she has won the war for the attackers since there from that point on was not even a potential source of financial wealth for the defense from TTI, nor was there any military help from said pirates.

If we analyse the remaining question and its potential outcomes, what if the vote had succeeded? The result would have widely been what it is now, Venal would even then have fallen at that same point in time, as there is no obvious safe way aside from not letting that vote even come into existence. Voting out the fighters and the money simply would have been suicide, why would anyone attacking a mineralrich region suddenly stop after the regions prime defenders and potential financial support have just dissapeared from said alliance, to be placed in a situation of quasi civil war within the region, while the same region is also trying to defend.

That is all for now, as we know Venal is still a warzone, as are the regions close to it, piracy is still commonday and the crossways out of empire into the regions neighboring and leading into venal have been under pirate control whenever I have pointed my scanners that way.
