Intergalactic Summit

I’m sure that every Capsuleer who frequents the Intergalactic Summit and is reading this statement is no stranger to the events that occurred in Evaulon on November 29th. For the first time in our operational history, Combined Harvest ceased all business activities on Friday November 30th, and did not open trade in a bid to devote every unit of manpower possible toward beginning a relief effort for the City of Rilnais.

For decades now, Combined Harvest has been the leading power in agricultural development in the Federation. We have always practiced good business ethics and strived to make the lives of our extremely diverse roster of employees as enjoyable and fulfilling as possible. Many of our employees are second, or even third generation members of a core group that is more of a family than a workforce.

The Combined Harvest Board of Directors is both shocked and horrified at the blatant attack made on our personnel. We also find ourselves disgusted that the Serpentis Corporation would seek to not only raid a peaceful settlement for profit, but to then systematically and sadistically target civilian infrastructure and residential areas.

The statistics speak for themselves:

At the last Local Governmental census in July, the population of the City of Rilnais stood at 364,219 citizens. The death toll after Thursday evening’s attack stands at 271,806. A further 62,144 are reported to have sustained life threatening injuries, most of whom are now currently in a stable condition.

On hearing of the attack, after the deployment of Federation Navy and Federal Military forces in response, the Senate immediately began co-operating with the Combined Harvest crisis management division, and dispatched FERO (Federal Emergency Response Office) personnel to Evaulon VII.

The rescue operation has begun, however the sheer scale of devastation is something that the Federation has not seen for over a century.

Trade re-opened for Combined Harvest this morning, however our efforts still remain focused on tending to those left both physically and mentally injured by the attack, as well as those left alone after the loss of loved ones and family members.

In response to this, Combined Harvest has initiated the Avechomon Foundation, named in honor of the late Roella Avechomon, Combined Harvest Operations Director for the City of Rilnais Isirus Hydroponics Plantation.

From what we can gather from patchy communications records, Miss Avechomon displayed exemplary bravery, rushing to the communications uplink center through a hail of orbital fire in an attempt to raise the alarm and uplink a distress call to Tripwire forces that sadly was never broadcast.

In her honor, and in honor of the memory of all those lost or injured we announce the Avechomon Foundation, through which Capsuleers loyal to the Gallente Federation, or those whom simply wish to show support for the people of Rilnais can donate to the relief effort.

While we would never be so crass as to request donations in the form of Kredits, useful commodities that are vital for the relief effort would be much appreciated and put to good use in stabilizing the situation on Evaulon VII.

Given the scale of the disaster, we currently have extreme need for the following equipment and supplies that our partners at the FERO simply cannot deliver in large enough volume in these early stages of the rescue effort:

Antibiotics
Biofuels
Dairy Products
Frozen Food
Hazmat Detection Systems
Hydrogen Batteries
Oxygen
Robotics
Smartfab Units
Vaccines
Water
Wheat

Any capsuleers willing to donate, may do so by delivering goods to our forward operating base in Stacmon X – Moon 1 – Federal Administration Bureau Offices and assigning them to myself via SCC Contract.

I am also available for comments and questions should there be any queries.

Thank you for your kind attention,

Anderes Duellene
Chief Operating Officer
Avechomon Foundation
Combined Harvest Crisis Management Division

The families of those lost during the planetwide destruction on Reschard V less than a decade ago, have something they'd like to say.

I did not come here for a debate regarding statistics, pilot.

My statement was based purely on number of lives lost, and accessibility to provide aid.

Perhaps you will take the time to think before you broadcast in future.

I have just sent out a mail via FCORD's mailing list asking for donations. Hopefully we'll get lots of responses.

I've also offered to organise transport for any items to Stacmon from any connected highsec system, an offer I extend to the general public. If you wish to take advantage of this offer, just contract the items to me: I'll organise transport and make sure that the items are credited to you.

First batch of Aid For Rilnais has been delivered, more to come tomorrow.

Aphex Industries is prepared to mobilize a number of courier vessels to aid in relief efforts and will be committing a substantial percentage of this months profit intake to the relief cause. Donations will continue until the affected areas are recuperated and local government can once again take charge in provision to the people.

PanStar sends its condolences to the victims of this horrible incident. Expect aid from PanStar shortly.

RTSS is willing to provide free transportation of the donation part or all of the way to Evaulon depending on the size of the cargo.

I have just delivered 157,420kg of Antibiotics to the requested station and contracted them to the specified contact. More will follow in the next few days.

I would like to echo the kind offer of Msr. Manwe Todako of RTSS to transport supplies for those unable, or restrained by political circumstances.

Please feel free to contact me with specifics.

Madame Goldcore's point is well taken, my next delivery will be more diversified.

Perhaps if donors, who are not to humble to declare, might disclose what they bring, we can avoid the situation Ms. Goldcore described?
