Intergalactic Summit

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Alliance Electus Matari is to be closed at the end of the current week

Republic University, Gerek, Minmatar Republic; 116.01.22

A few weeks after the announcement of the departure of Gradient corporation, the alliance Electus Matari is to be closed at the end of the current week.

All remaining corporations agreed that they didn't have the required human resources to ensure the good health of the alliance, nor to keep up with its reputation. That's why, although still loyal to the Minmatar Republic, and after several years of joint work, Lutinari Syndicate, The Halcyon Directive and Bionesis Technologies decided to follow their own paths. The three corporations leave in good terms and will remain allies. Electus Matari will officially still exist but only through its holding TCMS.

Each corporation will deal with its own standings from now on. For any diplomatic issue, you may contact the diplomats of each corporation, or join the following public channels :

- Lutinari Syndicate : "LUTI-Public"
- Halcyon : "Halcyon_OOC"
- Bionesis Technologies : "BIONE"

Sad but, true.

The Electus Matari flag will fly again one day, of that have no doubt. In the meantime the independent corporations that once made up EM will continue and will continue to work for the Minmatar people and the Republic.

What's the old phrase.... "Don't let the door hit you on the way out."

Should be obvious to a Caldari, I'd have thought, what with the Cold Wind and all that. All we are is dust on the wind, dude. Stardust on the solar wind.

To those who were once my allies, I wish the best.
May the Fortunes smile to them, both from their past and their future.

A truly tragic turn of events.

In light of this we will be setting the alliance to neutral at the next opportunity.

... leans back and thinks, where our story began ... so ...
... once upon a time there was a pilot who was fluent in Latin, Greek and Hebrew ...

My Grandfather was born at a time shortly after the "snorkle-age", a docking process which was much more realistic than what we have today. You needed to learn "faster learning", that's a first, he was told. After he left the corporate school, he was sent to his mentor, a pilot called JohnBe - and in those days a perfectionist in the classic mining, research, production and transport stuff. When he discussed once how to best flood the Dodixie market with his new products, he asked that he'd like to support the Federation and the Republic in a better way, than they did today. JohnBe told him one could look forward to pilots who were dedicated to serve the Federation and/or the Republic. He handed over a shortlist and -EM- was one of the few entries there. So it all began ... Years later, I took over the helm.

Ever since I dream to walk on a station and meet these guys in person.

Yesterday at the comms, I got aware of the drama ...

Seventeen days after Gradient goes their own way, the alliance dissolves... Thats not telling or anything. Still, unfortunate.

"Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end.
But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."

Of all those I have had to take up arms against, I respected Electus Matari the most. I pray you will all keep your promises to uphold the ideals you believe in.
