The Caldari people Including those on Caldari Prime tried that once before. The reaction was Federation troops invading and the Federation navy bombarding our cities from orbit. The Gallente-Caldari Civil war took place because the Federation did stop it.

Admiral Tovil-Toba's actions were necessitated by Gallente forces who wouldn't otherwise allow us to save our civilians. The death of Gallente Civilians in that incident was regrettable, but it was brought on by Gallente actions. He was left with no other choice to save his people. You condemn us for supposedly abandoning the rest, but then you condemn us for when we take advantage of a situation to return proving we haven't abandoned our people. That's very hypocritical, but I wouldn't expect anything less from someone who supports the group that held a gun to our heads and told us to leave our home. The Gallente claimed it would cause an upset to displace the Gallente citizens there yet they never had a problem when it was the Caldari people being displaced.

Caldari is a culture of its own, yes, but just being born on a planet does not make you r part of a culture. You have to embrace the culture and assimilate into it; many of the people on Caldari Prime have NOT done that; they adamantly remain Gallente. I have no problem with them doing that, it is their choice, but that means they don't have right to that world. If they were Caldari, they would have welcomed their Caldari bothers, instead the Caladri people on Caldari Prime were second class citizens before we returned; apparently for all your supposed 'freedom' you are always blathering on about, it doesn't include the freedom to be a Caldari. That's part of the main reason we seceded in the first place.

The Caldari soldiers who came to Caldari Prime to free the Caldari people are descendant from Caldari Prime and it's people, and have a legitimate claim to that world. The forces now being landed by the Federation, and many of the occupying soldiers do not share this ancestry, and therefore have no claim. I can respect the notion that the Caldari people should be free to choose their allegiance; the problem is, the men and women the federation sent both now and during the civil war so many years ago to occupy and invade our homeworld are NOT the Caldari people. I am sorry for those Federation soldiers born on Caldari Prime, but if they were truly Caldari and cared for their people, they wouldn't have taken up arms against the iberation forces the State sent to free our people.


We have only ever wanted autonomy for our people. We fight because the Federation refuses that autonomy.
This whole ordeal is just an extension of the war the Federation started so many years ago, because they weren't willing to acquiesce to that simple request.

This, Still. From a people who were fine with my homeworld being auctioned off to their megacorporations as nothing more than an asset, with no care for the population.

And you have the nerve to call the Federation the bad guys in all this.
They have a legitimate claim to all of Luminaire.
You have NO claim to Intaki.

I would hardly say the Caldari "chose" to leave their homeworld, unless you consider moving from an untenable piece of cover in a firefight to a slightly more defensible foxhole a conscious choice. It was more a matter of being under direct orbital bombardment at the time.
I'll also say that the Intaki weren't exactly happy with the Federation's governance as I understand the situation. Well congratulations, you got the State instead, and you have the audacity to complain about that too?

I do this for many reasons. I do it because I believe it is right. I do it because I will profit by it. These all consolidate into one reason: I do it because I can.

EXCUSE ME? We didn't choose to leave it behind. We were forced off of Caldari prime by the Federation navy who were BOMBING IT.

Again I won't justify the actions of Heth and his supporters. he's a monster, and I hope calmer heads remove him soon, but that's a Caldari world and the federation troops have no place on the surface.


Quote:

BULLSHIT. The Caldari people hail from Caldari Prime just as the Gallente people hail from Gallente prime. If anything, both sides have EQUAL claim to that system, but at the very least each side should be able to claim their homeworld. We are asking for a single world among eight.

Quote:
You have NO claim to Intaki.
I won't debate invading other Federation worlds was uncalled for, but that is peripheral to the discussion here about Caldari prime. I should note, however, that there are Intaki on both side.

Part of the reason the Gallente were unwilling to let the Caldari people be free is because then they might have to grant autonomy to the others under their yoke who wished the same. others such as the Intaki who joined the Caldari in seceding.

As long as this nonsense about who's the most aggrieved party, who did what to whom and all the rest continues there's no chance for peace between us. All I hear from the Statists is more egoism, more call for vengeance, more cries for blood.

You cannot win a total war against us nor can we win one against you. We must accept that we're both correct, both wrong and that we must find a way to live together else, we'll all die together.

You're right.
I may have let my nationalism get the better of me.

I bear no ill will towards the Gallente people and some of my friends and comrades hail from the Federation, and I wish an end to the death and destruction, but with that titan down, it is the Federation's move and I sincerely wish they move toward peace rather than war.

I will not apologize for my wish to see my brothers on Caldari prime freed, nor will I apologize for defending what I feel to be the home of my people. I will not be an aggressor, but as a Caldari citizen and former member of the Caldari Navy, I cannot idly sit by as Caldari people are attacked, and I will remain active in defensive operations while continuing to hope hostilities end.

Errrmmm ... the Galente shot first.

I was there. I watched them do it. I lost a ship defending that Titan from a Gallente fleet.

Do you somehow expect peace now?

Don''t bet the farm on that.

From the looks of things, you are the one being ignorant. Of a great many things.

Do you know anything about Federation history at all?

Do you know what The Two Month Crisis was?

Does the term "New Year Coup" ring any bells?

How about "Hueromont Reforms" or "Three Pillars of Power"?

In short, you make the above claim because you either don't know how the Federation worked back when the State seceded and how it works now, or you are actively ignoring it for cheap arguments. There is a multitude of reasons why the State's secession was regarded as a very bad thing two centuries ago, and there is a great deal of reasons why having Caldari Prime secede today would be nowhere near as bad. Controversial perhaps, but no-one can legally stop them, as far as I know.

Tovil Toba had a different choice. He simply chose the one that would ensure as many casualties as he could, when it was clear he had been defeated. He, and the rest of your State, and all the rest of us, can be extremely thankful that the reactions to this primarily ousted the U-Nats from power. It could easily have consolidated power around them if the people were of a different mindset, and the U-Nats were not so cruel to their own.

I condemn you for greedily seeking the return of your supposed property. After Hueromont, there was a cease-fire in effect for over a year, to allow the Federation to sort out the ousting of the U-Nats and the State used this time to evacuate anyone they wanted. Those who remained were the ones who wanted to. There was no people left that you had any claim to that you could return to "save." The only thing you returned for was the planet itself. You denounced the population as squatters, a population that had every right in the world to remain where they were.

I wonder how many times I will have to tell you this for you to understand, one would think that it's not hard considering your origin. You should understand this: When you move to a new location that is hostile to your very survival and the locals have survived by their own means for millenia, you follow those means yourself, or you perish. On Caldari Prime people of non-Caldari blood have settled for centuries since the Gallente first landed there, and they soon found themselves Caldari in spirit, and often with Caldari blood as well for these reasons. This had not been a problem to the Caldari until the period around the secession of the Caldari megacorporations.

When the State returned the nations of Caldari Prime were not faced with their long lost "brothers." They were invaded at gun-point by a foreign power that happened to be Caldari as well, a foreign power with no regard for those locals with non-Caldari blood, and barely any for those with that blood, either.

You seem to fail to realize that there are two kinds of Caldari in this cluster - the nations on Caldari Prime and the other worlds in the Union that contain Caldari nation-states - and the Caldari State who resides on New Caldari Prime and other worlds in State-controlled regions like the Forge, that arrogantly presume themselves the only "proper" Caldari in existence. You even went to the length of naming your nation after yourselves, as if to rob everyone else of the right to even call themselves Caldari.

Your newly-formed State was created independently of the Federation by the megacorporations who A) was unhappy (to say the least) with Federal policies at the time. No-one can blame them for this, and B) were not interested in losing their superior power and position by setting their now discovered colonies under Federal jurisdiction.

In short, the only Caldari that exist, as far as you are concerned, are the ones loyal to the State, and any Caldari who, say, are loyal to the homeland he or she was born in on Caldari Prime in the last few decades are not Caldari.

Also, fighting the State when the State invades your home is a crime, especially if you have Caldari blood in your veins and can trace your ancestry back to long before Gallente-Caldari first contact, right?

The soldiers of the State who invaded Caldari Prime were descended from the very world they now spill blood on, this I can agree with. But they themselves refuse to agree that the people whose blood they spill also belong to the world they are invading, and this is one of the fundamental problems with your State.

Wake up call; You *have* autonomy. The Federation recognized the Caldari State as sovereign a century ago when the first war was ended and peace was established.

You fight today to re-take lost property that you had to abandon two centuries ago after a war was started, among other reasons, because a terrorist group saw fit to drown half a million people over something as simple, something as petty barbarous and unforgivable, as racism.

That very same group of terrorists now work directly along your own armed forces in the current war. What conclusions do you suppose we are to draw from that, then?

And you have just as much evidence that I'm wrong. Only the future will tell who was right.

But what you have right now is a planet that has just been blasted to crap. You have, according to claims, a majority Gallente population who now finds themselves in a position of total power over a formerly dominant minority Caldari population... a Caldari population that they're going to be blaming for every last ounce of pain, suffering & death that has happened so far and continues to happen right now.

You don't need a level five rating in human psychology to see exactly what is going to happen next.

Absence of support to your claim is evidence in itself for a start. It's easy for me to point at the lack of news that supports your accusations and stating "Well there you go."

In fact, separation of Caldari and Gallente population on Caldari Prime was conducted during gallente occupation.
I would like to remind you, what was happening on Caldari Prime before our Navy kicked occupants out:
