Intergalactic Summit

I think as soon as they were included in the CEWPA warzone, what they wanted became somewhat irrelevant. For better or worse, unfortunately, their fate is no longer in their hands.

Am I the only one who's confused what this announcement is announcing? Is I-RED joining the State Protectorate aligned forces? Or are they just supporting some random group? Clarification would be nice.

I'm not really sure what to make of this now.

Heiian Kirjuun is a channel specifically designed to call for Orbital bombardment support -- yet if I-RED are going to support such operations how can they say they are seeking to prevent Orbital strikes against populated planets by providing those strikes against populated planets?

As far as I can see you're the ones that made a vague public statement and apparently made the contradicting objectives of seeking to prevent supposed collateral damage done by orbital strikes (Which seems odd given the size and yield of orbital weaponry cleared for use by CONCORD designed to minimize such collateral damage by tactical orbital strikes -- note that the truly destructive ammunition such as antimatter or nuclear rounds are banned) by interceding through providing orbital strikes.

This is of course unless I-RED seeks to intervene and interfere in the orbital tactical strike support of State Peacekeeper operations in the CEWPA warzone in order to defend Ishukone interests and assets to the detriment of Caldari militia operations?

No. We're not going to fight you, Gesakaarin-haani. We're not looking for a fight with you or the Protectorate or the Peacekeepers. After countless [failed] attempts at diplomacy with your corporation directly, you yourself should understand that we aren't your enemy nor do we wish to be. You and yours need not worry about being fired upon by our vessels. Unlike your organization, we don't shoot neutrals in low-sec, of which you are one (by your own choice). Perhaps you should look elsewhere for an enemy, because we will not humor you.

Those who aren't neutral have already demonstrated hostility against I-RED vessels, and our pilots will not hesitate to shoot first and ask questions later. That said, even in those cases we aren't going to be crawling the warzone looking for destroyers to pop. All that said, this really isn't about Capsuleers or our cobweb of diplomatic standings.

This is about clone mercs. I'll try to simplify the flowery language:

Nova Corps Marines, a division of I-RED, is going to start showing up in Intaki to ensure the stability and safety of our assets and those of Ishukone. We will also be managing a channel to organize tactically sound orbital bombardments for the benefit of Coalition members. As for the Intaki Assembly's stance on them, let me restate what the Intaki Assembly actually said about orbital strikes:



We aren't doing this for entertainment or profit. We aren't going to be doing it as often as possible. Furthermore, we're not in the business of trying to 'protect Intaki's biosphere'. We're in the business of looking out for Ishukone's interests by force of finance and arms. We'll try not to make too much of a mess in the process, however, as that tends to interfere with the profitability of our agreement with the Intaki.

I would like to point out a few things.

1. The channel and the coalition is "Kirjuun Heiian" not "Heiian Kirjuun"

2. As I-RED is not a member alliance of the Caldari Militia we are prohibited from dropping Orbital Strikes and thusly are only able to defend planets from hostile forces.

3. I have had numerous capsuleers contact me and tell me that they are trying to support the Caldari war efforts in the Border Zone but are unable too because of the number of Gallente aligned fleets supporting the clone soldiers on the ground. The Caldari loyal Capsuleers are begging for assistance and seemingly no one is willing to support them.

The long and short of this is that the Capsuleers aligned with the State are getting decimated on a daily basis and they need assistance. Just like the clones on the ground who claim fealty to the State are in desperate need of assistance. I don't care about past issues or squabbles.

Warriors of the State NEED our help. My cousin and I have been trying to rally support for the last two months and just now is anyone seeming to notice. The soldiers of the State in the Border Zone are being pushed back at a disturbing rate by the Gallente forces, let us aid our brothers and sisters not bicker about politics and causality. Those men and women both in space and on the ground need our help, and that is the most compelling thing I could ever say on the topic.

Mordu signed a deal with the Intaki assembly, where they were auctionned the S&S franchise for the Intaki system.

FDU members attacking Mordu forces in their legal mission in Intaki are therefore breaching federal law and stepping on a Federation signatory jurisdiction.

Edit : By the way, Ishukone Corp is also the legal holder of the Intaki S&S franchise. Attacking them is therefore attacking a Federation signatory member.
