Intergalactic Summit

Thank you Captain Eionell for your detailed and emotional reply, just a few things I'd like to ask though.



Apologies for cutting the rest of the quote short, but surely your frustration at the situation should lie in this case with your ancestors who were short sighted enough to not request this in their agreement when they joined the Federation along with the other demands they had for self determination?

I can understand it might feel humiliating to have to make such a request to an overall governing body but surely that's nothing to hold over them with contempt? You are no different to any other entity within the Federation who would have to go through the same process.



I think I touched on this earlier, and offered examples across all the Empires. This is much like your compatriot's "Oh please, that old chestnut" reply to the comments regarding the Federation's agreement with the Intaki in the first place. Just because you don't like a fact, no matter how long it's been around, doesn't make it any less true. Personally as I'm sure I've said before I would love to see more resources across all Empires dedicated to improving the security in these systems, it'd be better spent than shooting the hell out of each other for no gain.



I'm not going to delve into the realm of supposition and hyperbole here, quite frankly without actually going ahead and doing it the answer is pretty clear, I don't know and you don't know. Short of being someone in a position to give an answer (who probably also doesn't know because they haven't had an application to actually mull over) I don't think anyone can give you a factual answer on this. Playing guessing games won't help anyone.

Black Rise is an extremely freshly settled region, and by settled we're talking corporate enclaves, arcologies or purpose-built colonies, and not by any means a 'native population'.

So maybe someday the Caldari State will actually win something next time they conquer Intaki?

So maybe someday the Gallente Federation will actually win something next time they liberate Intaki?

Neglect? I'm amused by how often people paint we Intake as victims, as the oppressed. My ancestors chose to take charge of their own policing matters. This isn't neglect, this was our choice.

The State's objectives have been fulfilled, you have Caldari Prime, fine, keep it but do not claim to represent systems or peoples who are quite capable of making their own decisions. I, along with most other Intake have voted with my feet, choosing Federal democracy over Provist dictatorship.

Fisrtly, I would appreciate it if you did not misquote me. I said 'Provist dictatorship' not 'Provist Oppression'.
Secondly, The vast majority of ethnic Intake live in the Federation.
Thirdly, ad Hominen attacks do not become you.

The difference in the first point is, especially from your point of view, probably extremely superficial and generally speaking rather unimportant. But for your peace of mind, I hereby apologize deeply for implying disdain of a provist leadership.

Indeed, the vast majority of Intaki does live in the federation. I must have missed the memo where you were appointed their spokesperson.
Lastly, don't insult yourself about being the target of an ad hominem argument. Neither did I insult you, nor did I use such a hypothetical insult to infer that the point you're raising is moot. I was, however, implying that claiming that oneself is speaking for the people, or the majority is a messy business.





There's a difference if criminals are threatening local civil life or cash flow coming from frontier installations. Increasing the security levels of Placid would benefit a substantial amount of people, whereas there's hardly someone in Black Rise who'd benefit from a similar undertaking. Apparently the megacorporations with a presence in the frontier systems have already found their equilibrium between security spendings and losses to local piracy.

This is a rather hilarious example of Provist desperation - attempting to capture one Federal system deep behind enemy lines while while close to two dozen of their own have fallen, and failing even to hold it a week. Truly all spirit, honour and dignity left the Caldari Militia when Duty decided they'd had enough of lesser corporations leeching off their accomplishments and severed ties.

The Caldari know all too well the "benefits" of Gallentean rule. Despite the rhetoric of the culturally bankrupt FDU representative, the citizens of Intaki yearn for a new society. One governed by a uniquely Caldari ethos where hard work, patriotism and selflessness are the order of the day. Never forget this.

If all members of the State Protectorate are Provists, and Duty. were in the State Protectorate, does that make you a Provist?

In another desperate and superficial move, Caldari state occupied Deven solar system in Essence region. Then Caldari forces ran headlong and in panic to Intaki. And occupied that too. This was a follow-up to multiple superficial offensives where Caldari forces liberated systems in Black Rise from gallente jackboots.

Andre Ixiris was located to be in high-security system in Everyshore region, as benefits staunch defender of Intaki, but was unreachable for comment.

Carry on.
