Intergalactic Summit

This is what has become of us? Pithy comebacks and petty quips?

I must disagree with your notion that the war will be over shortly. The last time we went to war with the Caldari in full force, both sides became so exasperated that we simply agreed to stop shooting at one another. Not before massive amounts of destruction and death had occurred, mind you.

The fact that this conflict will drone on and be costly is why we've avoided all out war for so long, surely you can understand this? Do not make the mistake of underestimating your enemy or overestimating yourself. The Caldari have demonstrated great resolve in this conflict and I suspect they have much more still to demonstrate.

There is nothing glorious about this war, nothing worth gloating about. Wanton and absolute destruction of the Caldari should not be the desire or will of any of us.

Then I repeat:



It is nothing short of psychosis.

Thank-you, sir.

Maybe he will see reason when it's spoken by a comrade.

I just want to bring this post up from the dredges. I know it belongs there.

No, it isn't. Vlad, as someone who claims to support Nation (though I find that suspect) you should understand that we are the perfect example of why it isn't. We were ethnically cleansed. We have come back stronger than before, only now we are angry, and armed.

"Cleansing" a population only works if you get everyone. This is damned near impossible, nowadays, with how utterly vast space is. Space was our home when our planets were being glassed.

Now, go crawl back under your rock.

You can't do peacekeeping without weapons. What do you want? A missile that flips the enemy ship's off switch??

A multi-ethnic peacekeeping fleet? Isn't that what Concord IS? Aren't you being a bit redundant?

Following Moira. Combat Reconnaissance missions to the surface of Caldari Prime, it has come to my attention that a number of the military forces on Caldari Prime are being transported to the surface by drop ships and orbital vessels. particularly by the Caldari State Protectorate.

This escalation of the surface warfare is in direct breach of the Yulai Conventions and should immediately trigger a DED intervention to blockade all military traffic in the Caldari Prime orbital zone, including Caldari Navy forces and the Shiigeru Leviathan-Class titan.

The situation is dire and Moira. Corporation, and indeed, the Villore Accords, requests an answer.

We are forwarding combat data to the Federal Intelligence Office and the Office of the President regarding large-scale, ongoing ground combat on Caldari Prime as well.

Those FDU dropships aren't delivering welfare and good will you know.

So, is this you making our point for us? A CONCORD established DMZ would prevent both sides from fighting this conflict out with the civilian population of Caldari Prime in the middle.

The way this is going, this will end up becoming a moment remembered by history for a long time. And for CONCORD and the DED this is going to be a trying time.

Part of their job is maintaining the peace between the Empires, something they have utterly failed at. Though considering how the Empires feel towards each other that is hardly surprising. This has been a long time coming, and it's spiraling further out of control and I'm sure they know it.



The beloved CONCORD mandate is rather clear, but of course the Yulai Convention makes the mandate somewhat lose it's shine and creates a whole lot of hassle for them, mostly squabbles about jurisdiction and right to interfere. This way the Empires don't need to feel threatened some external power will interfere in their affairs and it prevents the Empires from shifting any responsibility or blame to much towards them so CONCORD can use it's resources more efficiently without having to deal with every minor incident.

The problem, I feel, is that CONCORD sometimes also uses the Yulai Convention as a shield when really, they can and should do something, because they know they'll be in world of pain if they really get involved in the thick of it. I suspect the wounds of the Elder invasion are still lingering and serving as a reminder they are not invincible and that if they make a mistake they may not be able to prevent a total Armageddon of our current civilization. Though this may be one of those moments where they'll be damned either way.

Do something, get involved a massive conflict they might not win and will have massive consequences. Or do nothing, and essentially say to the whole cluster, look we can't do anything even if we wanted to, opening the door for everyone to start wreaking havoc, because the mighty CONCORD turns out to not be mighty after all.
