Intergalactic Summit

the militia war is a futile distraction, a waste of resources, and poses no threat whatsoever to the existence of the State. if it were capable of being won, we would have won years ago when the Protectorate took over all the Federation territories.

You asked if I was there when the State NEEDED its pilots, not when their presence might have helped avert an inconsequential embarrassment.

Re-Awakened Technologies Incorporated supports the military and economic priorities of Re-Awakened Technologies Incorporated. Politically the corporation is aligned with the Republic but the only tangible contributions our members make in that regard is agent commissions, an activity in which I do not indulge. As I said, I'm an industrialist and in fact a good part of what I make for the corp gets sold in Jita, and thereby goes into the State's economy, via the Caldari Navy..

It's called trade. A healthy business relationship. Mutual self-interested benefit. We scratch their back, they scratch ours. Co-operation. And it's the antidote to this pointless squandering of lives and materiel of a "war". I'm not interested in participating in your mad little dance of violence, I'm interested in ENDING it, and the road to that outcome is through diplomacy, cultural exchange, trade and demonstrating that a Caldari can work with the Republic without wounding the State, which is what I've been successfully doing for the last two years.
