Intergalactic Summit

Maybe now that calm and moderate heads have prevailed we can consign the likes of Kim and Heth to the scrapheap of history. It's good to see that diplomacy still has a chance to succeed in our violent and sometimes arbitrary universe. It's sad that so many had to die before both sides in this conflict could come to the bargaining table.

This gives me a bit of hope that even the most seemingly intractable situations can be peacefully resolved.

I intervened when the Caldari Navy was attacked, and after the battle delivered an Industrial full of aid supplies. I then rescued both Federal and State citizens from the ground of Home no more than three hours after Shiigeru's death. I've put my crew and my assets on the line fighting Heth's cronies and I've escorted eight Freighters worth of other people's goods.

Who are the REAL humanitarians here, Sygarius? What have YOU done?

Of course, as you say, I'm also the other side of that coin. I would be very disappointed if it should come back to trading terror for terror, but that option will always be in a drawer, waiting.

To be honest, I'm quite happy to allow the Gallente Navy to operate freely in Luminaire. Let's be honest, if it comes down to it and they find themselves in a position of needing to deploy fleet assets over Home, it means things have broken down so badly that they'll simply break any armistice.

When have we ever fought for any other part of the Luminaire system? This gives us Home and it does so in a way that is actually in the Gallente interest to maintain.

Hopefully this is a sign of better things to come. With Caldari Prime recognized as belonging to the Caldari State, perhaps we can look inwards and resolve creeping issues that continue to perpetually hold us down...

The Federation comes out looking more or less clean, give or take a few decades of retrospect and revisionist history. But this is as good an outcome that we could have expected with the loss of orbital control.

It may be to the Federation's advantage that we are now forced to look inwards, but it may be to ours that we do so swiftly and decisively. As much as I am loathe to give advantage to an enemy of the State, the current state of affairs cannot be allowed to continue.

The less infighting we as capsuleers engage in, the swifter we may resolve any further CPD overstepping. Our part in this is small but significant, and we must present a united front in support of the CEP at large. Sukuuvestaa and Ishukone have shown their hands with their current dealings with the Federation in spite of Heth's clear opposition. It's time for the other four who voted in favour of the DMZ resolution to come forwards in act as well as politics.

We are a corporate State, not a military State. We follow our merited peers in the hierarchy presented by such a structure, not generals or issue-driven agendas. One State for merit, profit, pride and the people. Six of our representative Mega Corporations remember this, two of whom have gone to great pains to action their support of the current crisis resolution. It is time the Executor took his leave, while he still has goodwill with some of our kind and his countrymen. There's still good in what he has done, but it is best to retire in dignity, than continue into decrepitude.

If nothing else, the Federation gains a level of security and reduces the chances of a similar situation occurring again. While I am quite certain the final arrangements will have a less subtle benefit to the Federation included somewhere, for now I will continue to hope it remains reasonable enough that both sides can agree openly and willingly to it.

Last time they 'operated freely', huge remains of capital ships rained on our Home planet killing millions of innocents.

Yes, the planet is ours now. But while gallentes are allowed to roam 'freely' with guns drawn, it cannot be safe. Gallentes must be stopped and disarmed, only this can bring the peace.

Don't go there, we all know where this will lead.

It would explain (some of) what's wrong with her face.

I think you might be right. Not many other groups out there that would have enough resources to keep the peace there that could be trusted. Some might say that CONCORD should enforce the DMZ, but I think it's a little out of their mandate.
