Tibus Heth this.... Tibus Heth that.... , if it weren't for his leadership Caldarians would be eating souffles and croissants while watching **** holoreels like the rest of Gallente.


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.


I wasn't talking about you lady!

Geesh! people here are fragile and tighter than the girdle of a minister's wife at an all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast.

They obviously made sure you got your full complement of Federation propaganda though. At least this solves the mystery of why an Electus Matari pilot seems to care more about the Federation getting away with Grand Theft Homeworld than her own warfront.

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.

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.


As you probably know from History, ideology has rarely been the crux of the matter in most conflicts, just a populist tool for the masses.

Conflicts are driven by complex combinations of paranoia, power, and self interests.

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?


I was just going to suggest that but you beat me to it. Lol

You don't know me pilot so I'd ask you to do a little research first. I said in yet another thread where you Caldari moan and complain about how the evil Federation has stolen your planet that if not for the fact that my Gallentean adoptive parents lived on Luminaire, in the shadow of your titan, that I could give less than a damn what you two do to each other. You can't apparently live together in peace so, have fun killing each other.

Also, I do plenty in our war zone killing both slavers and their Caldari lapdogs.

As for propaganda well, looks like you've swallowed your share as well.

When the world is running down, you make the best of what's still around.

It's quite interesting how Caldari nationalist accuse the Federation of spreading propaganda, when virtually 100% of all media in the state is propaganda. I guess when that's all you are exposed to everything else looks like propaganda.

Seriously though, I've lived in Caldari space for quite a long time, the projectors in the Caldari quarters only have five stations, all spouting propaganda and about three out of five of them replaying a Tibus Heth speech for the 12th time in an afternoon. Were it not for the entertainment I brought in my ship and the occasional company of a close friend I made in my time there I probably would of died of boredom between assignments.

Your morning children programs are quite entertaining though. I found the one about the monster named Galley who tried to bully a little boy named Calley but always got defeated by Cally's uncle, Tibby H, rather funny and of high quality.

Caldari programs are MUCH better than Amarrian Children's programs. They have this one program called "The Little Slave Ship that could". Everyone told him he wouldn't be able to haul all of the slaves at once but he kept telling himself "God thinks I can God thinks I can". Whenever he gets in trouble he prays to God and the Empress to help him and sure enough he triumphs and delivers more slaves than a slaveship ever did before. It's really cliche, there is only one episode, and it's played every day.

I am not sure what to say, sir. I have lived in the state for the short entirety of my life. I don't watch the holos but I assure you, there is an absolute glut of material on offer there. My own station has several lovely entertainment amenities outside of the home as well. I go to the theatre in Sobaseki once a month along with my kirjuun, and they visit the casino a few times a week. We have frequent broadcasts of Splinterz matches as well as an arena in Todaki.

I am unsure where you are living in the State, sir, but I suggest you expand your exploration beyond the State Protection Force recruitment lounge?

Hmm, interesting, maybe the station owners give me, a born and raised Gallentean the quarters with less channels. That or it's to get back at me for the time my crew was hitting on all the female office workers.

Actually, it could of been for the time I forgot to set my drones to passive and they were accidentally released in the station.

Let's just say I get a mean look from the person at the front desk every time I check into an Ishukone station.
