Intergalactic Summit

You are deluded if you think anything Pyre Falcon Defence Combine do will have an effect on State and Federation political status.

Then we must be walking different paths, for I walk down the course defending the territorial integrity of the State, the independence and liberty of its citizens, the freedom of its corporate enterprises, the Lawful Authority of the Chief Executive Panel, and the future of my company and its staff that I secure their prosperity through the merits of my leadership defined with professionalism, intelligence and integrity.

I certainly have no fears to be at anyone's mercy for I have the strength of my own convictions.



Perhaps so, but nowhere has it been implied that in providing a public dissemination of corporate policies as deemed necessary and relevant as per legal obligations that it would, for indeed State and Federal foreign policy will be decided and set by respective government bodies.

I, at least, don't suffer from those particular afflictions of delusions of grandeur that so besets the particular followers of the religious occult.

Now you're starting to sound like Diana Kim, you talk in fantasies with no sense of realism to such goals.

Girl sounds like a typical rock-cruncher to me. Neither knows much about nor appreciates Caldari Prime until it becomes convenient to do so and then they're an overnight military expert.

Cool heads, Pilot Khross. Don't let individuals like the Miss here incite you so. The Empire has many honorable men and women who refrain from such ignorance.

I think you do this proposal a disservice. Even in the State, big things can have small beginnings. Tibus Heth's rise to power is an example, but hardly the only one. To be sure, though, Pyre Falcon Defense Combine would not be considered by most to be a major player within the State or among Caldari Militia corporations, skilled and vocal as they may be. It troubles me that none of the larger State Protectorate aligned entities have shown any notice to this worthy gesture.



I must say, your interpretation of State interests seems to ignore much of what has transpired in recent history. Only a few short years ago the State Protectorate occupied every Gallente system in the Placid, Verge Vendor, and Essence Warzone. This was no symbolic move to prove the might of Caldari arms, it was a concerted effort to claim and consolidate territory; complete with auctions of development rights for the systems in question. Sounds quite a bit like conquest to me.

Perhaps most of the power brokers within the State have moved on from the desire to conquer and impose dominion over Federation territories, but there are certainly many still who have not. I, for one, believe very strongly that it has only been through repeated military setbacks than the Caldari have arrived anywhere near the position you express.

It bears mentioning that from the perspective of many in the Federation, the State has shown itself absolutely to be interested in conquest and the destruction of the Federation. Even unto the destruction to the Shigeru most Caldari "loyalists" were perfectly willing to invoke the spectre of the utter destruction of Gallente Prime if any attempt was made to remove the Caldari Titan from our home system.

The reconquest of "Home" served neither the furtherance of "independence" nor "autonomy" for those who did the conquering. In that campaign the Federation saw a people who already had their independence and autonomy go to war for a Nationalist symbol. In the conquest of Federal Union systems throughout Placid, Essence and Verge Vendor they saw a nation bent on expansion to serve the interests of ruthless Corporatism. In the presence of the Shigeru they saw a threat from a leader bent on hateful vengeance against them simply for their Gallente birth.

You probably disagree with my perspective on these events, but they are by nature mine to perceive. Many of my countrymen share my viewpoint. It would behoove to understand this if you seek peace.

If you tell us that you pursue interests of the State, then why does your speech have so strong gallentean stench,... haani... ?

This is rich coming from the same pilot who continually attests to the individual operation of capsuleers apart from their sovereign governments. Yes, the State Protectorate, a capsuleer militia, engages in conquest over Federal territory. The Caldari State has never formally declared an intention to do so.



Your personal beliefs are irrelevant to facts, no matter how strongly you believe them.



Yet many more were just as appalled that such a course of action was even considered or were you intentionally ignoring those rather public testaments?



I understand full well your viewpoint.

You... you...
Offend you? Really? I will *censored* offend you if you *censored* want it. I will *censored* your *censored* butt and drag your *censored* *censored* through main *censored* station corridor, and then i will *censored* make you *censored* eat your *censored* pureblood pedigree!
That's how I will offend you!

Gotta admit, even from here I'm almost a little bit offended (if I'm even capable of such an emotion) and it isn't even my neck on the line here.

My mother was half-Achuran, my father half-Khanid. An unusual pedigree for sure but I still consider myself Civire. Through and through.

Still, testament to the brutality of a beat-down when even random observes are cringing a bit. I'm a little impressed.

That was always the problem. Despite all the high ideals of liberty, the federation seems remarkably discontent with allowing other entities to make their own domestic choices unless they're mirroring their model. If that patronizing attitude would be gone there clearly would be a possibility for a less tense coexistance along the borders.

Until then we will do what is necessary, and this will go beyond the CEWPMA-mandate if the federation, federal loyalists or lickspittles can not keep themselves out of domestic caldari affairs.
