Intergalactic Summit

As a squadron member in support of the convoy while it was in route to its destination, I assure you that the path chosen to be taken by the convoy was the most legitimate and calculated path that could have been taken at the time.

Executor Heth has made his stance clear regarding Ishukone and the activities of the Federation. His public attack against the admiral he put in place does not speak well of him.

I will refrain from further comment.

I hope he's ready to bear the responsability of saying those words, and how history will judge them.

I was expecting him to be outspoken against Ishukone. His interests have long seemed to lie more in harming the Gallente than helping the Caldari, and Ishukone has long fended off his un-Caldari was in trying to dictate the corporations actions to that effect.

I am surprised and appalled by what he is saying about his own military commanders appointed by himself. Despite having lost the viscous battle, they still possess more honor and integrity than him, and regardless of that, he shares the blame for any of the Admiral's failings since Heth personally appointed the Admiral for the position.


I fear that the message about the viscous attacks by Gallente my end up ignored by the other nations solely because the speaker is so reprehensible.

Let me start with two apologies before I continue. Firstly, I apologize to my Caldari friends and to any Caldari who might see the following as some outsider trying to dictate something to you all. That is not my intent, I merely wish to draw some attention to some historical similarities. Secondly, I apologize to any fellow Amarrians for the upcoming usage of a distasteful word. Now then, with that out of the way I'll get to the point.

It occurred to me that there are some similarities, granted they could seem slight and minor, between the current state of affairs within the leadership of the Caldari State, and something that happened in the Empire nearly two thousand years ago. I speak of Zaragram the Second, one of our Emperors who is more commonly remembered as The Mad Emperor if he is even remembered at all. The Mad Emperor came into power at a time in the Empire when political power was heavily vested in the Council of Apostles, of which the Emperor traditionally held the chief position within. However Zaragram sought more and more power. His reign was characterized by bold Imperial decrees that were increasingly contrary to Amarrian faith and tradition. In fact his religious decrees are quite plainly considered heretical, both by modern standards and the standards of the time. The Mad Emperor became simply a grave threat to the Amarrian people and Amarrian culture at large. Eventually The Mad Emperor's heresies earned him not only a worldly assassination, but also the most severe punishment to exist in the Empire. His name was struck from The Book of Records. I...may not be able to truly explain the cultural significance of this action to those who are not Amarrian themselves. But suffice it to say, it is considered more severe than execution or enslavement. But even with the actions of faithful Amarrians to reverse the heretical decrees of the Mad Emperor, to repair the damage he had done, it still took some five centuries before the Empire could be said to have recovered and began to thrive again.

Again, I am not intending to dictate or even suggest drastic action to the Caldari people. I simply felt it was an appropriate time to draw attention to seemingly, if vaguely, similar situations. If anything I would stress that history has lessons that can provide some longer-term perspective on the present age.

Thank you for sharing a lesson gleaned from history, Ferhnah. You need not apologize for seeking to impart wisdom from the experiences of your own people and you didn't attempt to dictate the actions the Caldari should take.

I will consider the lessons contained within the history you have presented.

Also, Khross-haan? We may have to disagree soon. It's very nearly unseemly to be of like mind on so many things.

I disagree.

Caldari State Executor Tibus Heth needs to purge the Caldari Navy of its Commanders and take direct control of the Navy.

This debacle is the fault of the Caldari Navy. Unfortunately, they have misrepresented themselves to the Caldari State Executor who, in his greatness of goodwill to his people, believed in them.

The time is now for the Caldari State to rise up from this disaster and remove the incompetent in the Caldari Navy.

I'm finding it difficult to take Fractal Muse seriously.

Is that person serious?

I'm assuming not...?

In that case I will put this politely.

Your opinion, for all it is worth, has been noted.
