The Survivalist Faction wielded a lot of influence in the Red Association and beyond.
A lot of different parties looked up to the Survivalists for guidance in this time of crisis and uncertainty.
Few insiders overlooked the fact that the outcome of the latest conference organized by this faction had been responsible for pushing the Deep Strike Plan onto red humanity.
Even though the Fist of Defiance was not the outright leader of human civilization in the new frontier, the fact that society had begun to follow his vision had elevated his renown above other god pilots!
Therefore, people were considerably more inclined to accept his recommendations or instructions than in the past.
His personality flaws were well-known, but his unwavering optimism and his unflinching belief in red humanity was exactly what everyone needed the most in this dark and difficult period!
