Intergalactic Summit

The Federation has lost all the respect it had earned from me. The Federal government has once again shown their contempt for peace, their disregard for common human decency, and their willingness to resort to violence rather than their own democratic principles when they encounter a dissenting voice.

I hereby declare myself an enemy of the Federation. Any pilots openly flying on the side of Federal Government on the matter of Caldari Prime will be Kill-On-Sight to me at least for the duration of the Homeworld Crisis, and so long as it is tactically practical for me to engage such pilots, I shall do so.

In accordance with this decision, it is with great sadness and regret that I must announce my immediate resignation from Re-Awakened Technologies and the cessation of my tenure as a member of the Board of Directors. I intend to resume my commission with the State Protectorate, for an indefinite duration. I am sorry my friends: I hope you understand that my Home is calling, and that I must answer. I solemnly affirm that I shall actively oppose all STPRO operations in Minmatar space, and will continue to lobby for peace between the State and the Republic.

Peace is my aim. But I understand that peace must paradoxically be defended by soldiers and violence. By the Winds if the only way to find peace is to blow a freezing gale, then I shall and I hope others will join me.

To my comrades: Fly well, shoot straight, show honour.

To my enemies: No hard feelings, but if you're going to side with thieves and genocidal maniacs then I'm just bringing what you deserve.

Hakatain Out.

Double standards are pretty common these days.

Conjecture.

How exactly did a Federation that hasn't been able to enter or leave the planet for the past five years trained and equipped these individuals?

Civilians can take action against authorities, they are still civilians and they are still helpless against orbital bombardment.

No such orbital bombardment has been fired. That titan has never taken any hostile action. It has been the equivalent of an armed guard standing outside the gates of an embassy.

I don't know what sparked the ground fighting, I refuse to conjecture on subjects for which I lack the evidence to make an informed decision.

All I know is that the Federation is once again attacking my people, and my commitment to bridge-building has been laden beyond its breaking point. I will not sit idly by and allow them to mug us once again.

There have been Federal military personnel remaining on the planet since it was taken, conducting insurgent actions. They have surely been training the populance since then, and managed to open communiction with the Federation to plan a joint operation.



When a civilian takes hostile action against a lawful government, they are no longer civilians. They are combatants.

I am sure you possess proof positive to make such a claim, so I will not deliberate the point further. The fact remains that the planet was taken hostage by a surprise assault and the population was held hostage at gunpoint for five years. If the Federation has been training civilians for this uprising, it has been because all other options are exhausted. The State refuses to negotiate, no one can leave the planet, civilians are held at gunpoint. You expect these civilians to do nothing? You expect the Federation to simply accept it and leave them to be held hostage to a force that refuses to negotiate their release?

Are the staff of an embassy "held hostage" by the presence of an armed guard at the gate? Are workers the hostages of CorpSec? Are citizens hostage to police force that carries firearms?

There is more than one reason to have a capital ship in orbit, pilot Raithe. You are presuming the worst out of prejudice.

We tried negotiation for decades. it did not work. The Federation, it seems, does not negotiate over what it feels it can take by force.

Bullshit pilot.

Your Executor made a clear declaration that any Gallente leaving the planet would be open fired upon and any action deemed to be a threat to the occupational force would result in the orbital bombardment of every Gallente city and habitat on the surface. That's not "standing outside and embassy" that's "holding hostages at gunpoint."

Your State denied negotiation, spouting the same lines you are spouting now. This is your home, there will be no negotiation for it, the Gallente do not belong.

It blew up a CONCORD official asking it to provide information on its tactical loadout. When it was clear that it couldn't win the fight, it began preparations for the deployment of Oblivion on the planet's surface.

Oblivion isn't a precision weapon. It's a planet-ender.

Its time for open war between the Empires again. I hope our heads of state agree. Screw the faction warfare, its time for all out aggression, including SOV being lost by the Gallente and Minmatar.
