Intergalactic Summit

This has been answered repeatedly: the Gallente must give up all claim to the Caldari homeworld, in perpetuity.

Yes, but how can this be done both peacefully and to the satisfaction of both the Gallente and the Caldari? Both claim the planet as their own, and strictly speaking it does belong to both. This issue is far more complicated than simply handing over sovereignty of a planet.

If the Amarr Empire can give up enough slaves to populate a planet in the interest of peace then I don't see why the Gallente Federation can't part with one as well. And I'm pretty sure doing so would be a lot more successful towards that goal of peace than our own offerings have been. The Caldari are ruthlessly efficient but they're not generally genocidal. Does anyone honestly think they would just haul off and attack the Federation without provocation? Compared to the Empire, the Federation are being offered a sweet deal: One planet and the Caldari will leave you alone forever. If only the Republic was so easily appeased.

Yet there some real irony, here: One nation claims that they believe in freedom & the right to chose one's own path. The other believes in minding their own business and not interfering with other nation's ways of life. From where we Amarr are sitting, someone isn't telling the truth. Hint: It's not the one who keep telling us we need to hold "free elections."

If the Federation truly believes in what they claim to on the surface then it is in their own best interest to let the Caldari keep their homeworld. Because by this point still trying to make any claims to Caldari Prime are only going to make the Federation look like hypocrites, preaching one thing in one hand and acting out the opposite with the other.

For so long as Caldari Prime is a political football in the State, Tibus Heth will continue to use it as a lever to keep power in his hands. The very existence of his position as Executor, depends on a state of emergency and will not last during peace.

Honestly, the best way to be rid of him is to settle the issue of Caldari Prime.

The Executor's position is solely at the mandate of the CEP. They've decided to maintain him in his position despite his recent breaches of tradition and, frankly, I don't see that changing soon.

Perhaps we simply have to wait out Roden?

Couldn't we just borrow page or two from black eagles and borrow both of em along with their high ranking supporters. deposit them to a nice asteroid colony with plenty of food, water and air. then let them sort it out between each other while rest of us deal with the political fallout and get this mess sorted finally?

or would this be far too optimistic since by sound of it whole mess is partially caused by stagnation in political landscape of both State and Federation.

Here's a thought
Heth vs Roden or Blaque, zero gravity cage fight.
Winner gets Caldari prime
Wouldn't that be a far more efficient solution than this bloody duel by proxy?
I could even sell tickets and be the richest woman in the galaxy

I must admit, I find it incredibly strange that neither head of state has apparantly even laid down "terms" for the ending of the conflict. Worrying, even.

Many people name Caldari Prime as the sole crux, but is that really the case? Would President Roden surrender his claims over the Black Rise region, at this point, even if the planet was taken? Would the Executor do likewise, only with Placid...? Neither of them have made any statement, even though that seems long overdue.

It seems to lend, unfortunately, quite a bit of credence to the idea that neither of them paticularly wants the war to conclude, for one reason or another.

Nice bit of patronizing racism there, pilot. I grew up in the Federation and I can assure you that my parents never fed me croissants or made me watch adult holos. Pig.

It's not a conflict that either side intends to end, Captain Ikiryo.

But, of course, you are aware of my interpretation of the issue already.
