Intergalactic Summit

In recent times, most notably in the events surrounding the wounding of several Minmatar persons at an important Federal cultural event, including former Republic Prime Minister Karin Midular, the terror group known as "The Bloody Hands of Matar", have made several statements.

The Bloody Hands threatened Gallente officials and civilians with extreme violence, unless the Federation abandoned the principles of democracy and transparency, and handed over the alleged perpetrator of the crimes, to face Tribal "justice".

Gutter Press has spent some time investigating the Bloody Hands, and have uncovered some amazing facts!

Many Caille residents are confused by the Bloody Hands, expressing the sentiment that they are frequently self-defeating in terms of public sympathy.
"They talk about justice and freedom, then plant bombs that kill little children!" said one concerned mother.
"I always thought they were an Amarr black ops outfit, made to make the Minmatar look bad", said one Quafe vending machine technician.

This theory of the Bloody Hands being an Amarr-Caldari psychopolitical warfare unit, intended to drive a wedge between the Federation and the Republic, by making the Minmatar people look incapable of behaving according to Federal ideals, is one that has been growing in recent weeks, especially since their statement demanding the extradition of the alleged criminal that is alleged to have wounded Karin Midular.

We asked senior Republic officials if they would like to comment on the Bloody Hands of Matar being secretly an Amarr-Caldari funded operation, and one replied, denying any connection between the Amarr and the Bloody Hands.

This raises the alarming prospect, that the anti-Gallente views expressed by the Bloody Hands, are in fact, held by a substantial proportion of the Minmatar residing in the Republic, and possibly some of those living in the Federation as well, which will increase social tensions in mixed neighbourhoods in many Gallente cities!

The Imperials, in general, tend to avoid sticking the words 'blood' or 'bloody' into the names of their organizations. It's just this thing with them.

I certainly hope the relations between the Gallente and Minmatar aren't permanently damaged from this incident. I have several good Matari friends and while I do not strongly identify myself with the Gallente Federation, I still support it's ideals and would hate to see the relationship between the Federation and the Republic be broken because of this.

And regardless of the afflictions of the Bloody Hands, my hands will certainly be bloody once I deal with them.

Muck Raker finally convince you that no such thing exists, huh?

How could it not be an Amarrian plot? Just like Wiyrkomi plants spies in the Friends of Nature, a peaceful environmental group, to make them look like terrorists.

Muck Raker is onto something.
