Mistral quoting Sally:
At the time, from what I can see, it's just a heist for the riches it will bring *them*.
Possibly for the others, but I don't think that's true of Avon;
We get the following exchange about stealing Feldon crystals in GAMES. It gives an indication of how some of them stand in the greed vs. hurting the Federation category:
AVON: You could run anything on it in theory. That's why the Federation is staking so heavily. The consignment we are after is worth approximately nine hundred million. TARRANT: Let's get one thing straight. We want it to use, not to sell. We've seen what it can do. We can't risk it getting back to the Federation. DAYNA: Yes, agreed. VILA: Not by me, it's not. You steal for your reasons, I'll steal for mine. SOOLIN: Why not get it first and quarrel about it later?
