Intergalactic Summit

With the successful conclusion of Operation Stellar Shield, Soltueur Company would like to introduce the Kingdom of Altaea to the capsuleers of the IGS, a small coastal nation located on Sortet IV. This Federation member signatory of 60.7 million people has franchised us to operate extraterritorial colonies via the CONCORD Planetary Development Treaty on their behalf, offering employment opportunities for qualified Altaeans to serve as technicians and engineers in the production of planetary goods recognized by the SCC interstellar market. The franchise deal was struck following negotiations between myself and Altaean diplomats, facilitated by Federal representative for the Sortet IV sub-district, Senator Kale Aideron. Senator Kale Aideron is well-respected in the Ancbeu district, and is a notable opponent of current Federal President Jacus Roden and the spookocratic administration enforced by Director Mentas Blaque of the FIO's Black Eagles.

Altaea was founded by a memegroup of neo-monarchical enthusiasts from Gallentia and Intaki during the expansion into the Verge before the birth of the Federation. Like many countries in this corner of New Eden, the humble colony would evolve into a fully-fledged nation-state over time, joining the Federated Union of Gallente Prime a decade or so after its founding. Altaea has a large indigenous population, who have long been considered equal citizens, both before and after the Founding. After centuries worth of mingling, the ethnic composition of most Altaean citizens is made up of ethnic Gallente, Intaki, and Sortet stock native to that continent. The main language of Altaea is that of the indigenous group.

Altaea operates a hybrid democratic system integrated with a constitutional monarchy. The head of state is First Princess Cea il Kalah, who appoints a Prime Minister to be approved by the Council of Nobles and the Council of Citizens. The former is made up of nobles appointed by families in control of the business and economic interests of Altaea. It is possible to marry into a family, or receive a Marque of Ascension from the First Princess to become a noble family. The latter Council of Citizens is a demarchy. The main government AI known as the Praktor sifts through eligible citizens with at least a university education to sit on the legislative body. It is compulsory to sit on the Council of Citizens if you are selected by the Praktor, though appeal to the judicial arm of the Altaean government, the Council of Magistrates, is possible. The Praktor is also responsible for delivering objective assessments of the Prime Minister's work to both Councils.

With this franchise deal, it is hoped that Altaea can benefit economically in the long-term by participating in the capsuleer economy, which naturally could not have hoped to do without the assistance of Soltueur Company. Agents have been sent to Altaea to begin the recruitment and selection process for potential colonists. As per SOL-C's standard MO, military protection for any and all colonies will be provided by FedNav and FedMar units under the command of myself, Lieutenant Commander Seriphyn Inhonores GFNR. I am available for questions and comments.

Personally I'm wondering when Seriphyn changed his opinion of FIO from "It's all tinfoil hattery" to calling them the enforcers of a Spookocratic administration.

There may or may not be some paraphrasing here, but you get the gist of it.

It sounds like a charming place, I'll be sure to visit. I hope your investment brings growth, profits and happiness to the people of Altaea.

Monsieur Gaterau,

With all due respect to a man of your position, the ability to make anti-administration comments without social or legal repercussion is one of the defining freedoms of this Federation; nowhere else in the cluster expresses it to the extent that we do. I myself have some issues with Jacus Roden, and if asked about them or in any other similar relevant context, I will openly discuss them, as is my right by the Federal constitution. Mr. Inhonores, whatever his faults, has worked tirelessly for the safety and prosperity of this Federation. It would behoove you, I feel, to show him at least a little more respect.



The Federation Navy's oath of service is to the people of the Federation, the Federal charter, the constitution and to the office of the Presidency, Mr. Gaterau. Federal servicemen serve a mandate, not a person.

*raises hand*

Umm, you do know that's not a Caldari flag waving behind you, right?

With all due respect, I'm well aware of Lieutenant Inhonores' service record. Similarly I do agree that freedom of speech is one of the principal foundations of the Federation.

In the same respect, that freedom has its limits, up to the point where civil unrest may be instigated. In this instance, a former Federal Serviceman should know this, and after holding a position of trust and responsiblilty to the values that the Federation holds close to its heart, should have better judgement than to undermine the institution that he spends his time devoted to supporting.




Yes, I agree.

The same charter, constitution and office that he has recently persistantly been badmouthing.


That said, I've made the opinion of the FIO and SDII very clear in my responses here, and will now leave this announcement to the purpose it was intended for.

If any of you have an issue with what was expressed here, feel free to contact me privately and you'll be set straight on our policy.

The vagaries of democratic politics often elude me, not ever having had to deal with such silliness, but are the Spookocrats a popular political party in the Federation?

Freedom of speech does not mean that you can say things without consequence. Once you are all done wallowing in sin, the Empire is here to welcome you into God's loving arms.

Oh boy. a crazy amarrian religious zealot, because without you IGS would be SOOO morally bankrupt: with no slavery to convert the masses and all.
