Intergalactic Summit

20:00 Standard time the Shadows of the Federation, a Federation alliance, and Wolfsbrigade joined forces to make a devious pact against the Minmatar people. This is perhaps a image of things to come of Gallente and Republic relations as it is now clear that the Federation has become a puppet state to the Amarr Empire. The crux of this pact was to force the Tribal forces to abbandon efforts to take the Kamela system as the Amarr, having lost a HUGE chunk of their systems to the Tribes, now need more then their own empires forces to hold us back. There are two things that can easily be seen from these events.

One the Amarr are on the ropes and about to lose the Emperyean War and two the Federation has decided that the Empire is to big to fail. This was sell out move by Shadows and I would move all loyal Minmatar Legions to now throw their support behind the Caldari war effort in response to the actions of the Federation. I would also like to say that if this is NOT a Federation backed treasonous move by Shadows, that all Federation forces now declare war upon their treacerous brothers in arms.

Update it would seem that Wolfsbrigade, the primary broker of this "New Deal" with Shadows of the Federation, made this deal with a "screw the rest of Amarr" attitude where they sold out their entire Empire to save a single system that they operate out of, namley Kamela. So in effect what this means is that the Federation has aligned with a splinter element in the Empire in an effort to deny a single system from the Rusty Tide sweeping across contested space. It is sad that the Federation betrayed the Minmatar to honor a bargin with a fringe element that is obviously acting against its own Empire.

In case you master strategists haven't noticed, you're fighting over a back yard of largely unwanted systems seen as disposable enough by the leaders of your nations to let capsuleers run rough-shod over them. Said systems have traded hands multiple times, with no bearing on New Eden at large, no victory or defeat for any of the participant empires, and no long-term strategic or tactical goals met.

An utterly meaningless war fought over utterly useless systems. And you brag about flipping the ownership flag on a handful of those? Psh. Goonswarm managed to besiege Jita and put a big dent in the State's economy - you'll have to top them if this "war" is to go anywhere.

I would have to contest your viewpoint, Captain Shogaatsu. The planets (and their inhabitants) are hardly inconsequential or useless and when the systems change occupancy, the planets come under the leadership (and occupancy) of the occupying power.

You also may wish to recall the Emergency Militia Powers Act which is actually responsible for the ongoing war between capsuleers loyal to their respective empires. It may not appear like much is being accomplished from the space side of things, but on the planets in those relevant systems, the constant changes in occupancy do matter and I imagine those under those conditions live very difficult lives.

I would brand them as traitors as the effect of the pact was "Dont attack our one system and we will give you free reign to attack the rest of our empires systems without reprisal from us". That is Traitor acts no matter how you look at it. They sold the rest of the Amarr Militia to save their own asses.

You must be joking.

I would like the point out that Wolfsbrigade and SoTF have something of a history. They started off as enemies on opposite sides of the gallente/caldari militia conflict. As they fought, they began to get to know each other better, and even work together against third party entities such as the local pirates. After some time like this, they decided to make a move, and together created the alliance ShadowWolves.net, before moving to nullsec.

This did not work out, and SoTF returned to the Gallente militia. Wolfsbrigade joined the Amarr militia. I would not at all be surprised if some of the pilots of both entities work together occasionally. They are 'frenemies' after all.

I would like to commend the good sir for his ability to see reason. Proof will not be published here, that data is above my paygrade, that being said it will be available in other venues shortly. As much as I hate what Amarr stands for, I find it disgusting that anyone should be ebtrayed by their own.

What would the Federation possibly have to gain from such an act? I could see a Caldari Mega-corp doing some sneaky deals with Minmatar groups for the sake of making money, however it's extremely unlikely that the Federation would gain anything from making the most minor deal with the Empire.

Considering humanitarian and military aid are still being pumped into the Republic, I find this impossible to believe. Plus, I'm sure today's training session with Gallente pilots would of been canceled if there was even the slightest reason to believe this.

That's the thing. As a capsuleer, I can't imagine not remembering my greatest accomplishments. But in factional warfare, there is nothing to even accomplish in the first place. Mind you, I gave it a whirl a while ago, so it's not like I'm talking out of my arse here.
