Yesterday evening, the Federation Navy along with Tripwire and all branches of the Federal Armed Forces were placed on high alert in response to the mobilization of the vast majority of the Caldari State's military forces.

They will remain in this state until such time as the situation is resolved.

At this time we are pleased to report that no attempt to breach the Gallente-Caldari border has been made, and that fighting has indeed remained within Caldari borders, solely focused on populated Caldari worlds.

Regardless, the Senate, Federal Intelligence Office and Federation Navy continue to monitor the situation closely.

Coupled with this, the Luminaire Defense Force remains fully mobilized and on full alert.

Greetings capsuleers, I have been authorized by Caldari Navy Command to release a short statement regarding the events of yesterday and the continued action of the Caldari Navy and allied forces. Because of operational security, I cannot give details of any current military actions being undertaken by the Caldari State at this time.

However, you may rest assured that no violence is being perpetrated by the Caldari State against its own citizens and any such accusations as such will be considered treasonous. All actions are strictly being taken in a military and security capacity, to protect the interests of the State, its corporations, and its people. We are acting on several sources of actionable intelligence to prevent a widespread security threat to both the Caldari and the cluster at large.

At the current time, the Caldari Navy remains on a state of highest alert and will be vigilant in defending the State from all outside threats.


Surely, "the cluster at large" deserves to know what this "widespread security threat" is?

If it's contained within State space... why? The Feddie insistence on somehow having rights to, or even just that they deserve to know what's going on within State space, Corporations and operations is odd to say the least. It is quite simply none of your business until it affects you. Until then, it's State (and apparently CONCORD observation so far) business.

Has no one told you people how rude you are?

Has anyone ever told you that no one gives a rats ass about your **** posting and jabs? If you want to get reactions, try a different Fluid Router Network. I hear the General Discussion Net is good for what you're looking for.

Let me connect the dots for you. A massive military operation is reported to be taking place in secure Caldari space, involving large numbers of Caldari Navy and CPD military assets. Initial reports describe "heavy fighting." At this point, many concerned citizens from each Empire inquire to the cause and the impact of these events. It is widely speculated (and disputed) that civilian casualties are taking place.

Enter a representative of the Caldari Navy. He says everything is fine, and that they are responding to a threat to "the cluster" as well as Caldari internal security.

If this threat truly is something the valiant Caldari Navy is currently defending all of us from, we have a legitimate concern as to what that threat is.

If the threat turns out to extend past State space, I'm sure you'll be told. Until then, it's an internal State matter. Even CONCORD didn't bother making it public, which confirms that this is (so far, and again) an internal matter for State and CONCORD authorities. Besides, given the widespread nature of this thing, Intel entities from all (outlaw included) factions in New Eden already sits on enough data to choke a news service.

In short, all your bellyaching amounts to "I'm curious about stuff that's none of my business whatsoever, and I want to make my completely irrelevant opinion known".

Leave it to the relevant authorities until it actually becomes a matter that affects you.

It certainly is the rest of the cluster's business. Commander Okuuda identified it as such.

That's one interpretation. From what I could tell, it was currently confined to State space and only potentially a future problem for the rest of New Eden. Even if it were an immediate issue, why do you think capsuleers would be on the shortlist of people being told? It's a damn big cluster and the four nations and their intel/diplomacy services, not to mention CONCORD, would be the channelbuzzers at the moment.

Be patient. Let the actual authorities deal with whatever this is, then when they're ready I'm sure there'll be official statements or warnings or whatever it turns out to be.

At this time, I can confirm from the CEP that orbital strikes are being conducted. They deny that any civilian populations are being targeted, instead "dangerous enclaves that must be destroyed for the safety of everyone considered."

The wording is a bit vague for my taste. However, I hope the situation will be monitored closely.

Information is being released and I'm thankful to the Caldari Navy for doing so, given where their attentions are focused right now. Hakatain-haan is right to remind us that the phrase 'Orbital Bombardment' covers a lot of ground - from the bee-sting tactical strikes that many of us have been responsible for providing or supporting all the way up to unguided mass-scale and heavy grade weaponry.

That said, I spent a large part of yesterday speaking with travellers and seekers after truth who had scoured large areas within the State looking for these mythical fleet battles and trying to catch CalNav out glassing our own worlds. They did not find that and I remain convinced that they will not.

Leave the professionals to their jobs and stand ready to assist if needed.

For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.

You're exhibiting negativity bias. CONCORD and the DED do their jobs perfectly most days. No organisation is infallible, however, and the few failures we've seen don't outweigh the smooth running that we don't ever see because smooth running is not newsworthy.


Actually, *I* am pretty happy with CONCORD, but most others seem to treat complaining about them as their most beloved fetish.

Whatever mistake any group under the CONCORD banner does people will remember, point to, and never forgive. And they will, without fail, complain about it like spoiled children, nevermind that most of these complaints come from pirate-failures and enemies of Humanity that would love for CONCORD to stop existing.

I am simply sick and tired of the whining, and point out that people will whine until given reason not to. So, a small part of me rather hope that someone somewhere steps out of line and get smacked down. A good show of force from CONCORD might just shut them up for a while.

I wish our Caladri friends well as I am sure they will want to investigate and offer their support.

As long as the Navy hasn't gone off the rails and started to target Caldari Citizens, then they're welcome to their civil war. Although, I would hope the Navy would fall in with the anti-provosts forces.
