Space pirates can profit by buying shares in the prediction market that pay money if Ceres shifts to a pro-Earth stance and then invading Ceres.
Has this line got a typo, or am I misunderstanding? Don’t the pirates profit by buying pro-Mars shares, then invading to make Ceres pro-Mars (because Ceres is already pro-Earth)?
Mars bought pro-Earth to make pro-Mars more profitable, in the hope that pirates would buy pro-Mars and then invade.

You are correct I have fixed the error. Thank you.
