Intergalactic Summit

For the past two weeks of skirmishes and diplomatic contact with Eve University and Ivy League personnel, it has become apparent that Eve University is a disruptive military presence inside Federation Space, and only intends to harm Federation interests.

After negotiating +5.0 standings at great pains and lengths with Eve University diplomats, a fleet of E-UNI ships engaged a Federal Defense Union fleet comprising of several alliances and numerous corporations. This engagement caused the destruction of several Gallente Militia Cruisers, and we retaliated against further acts of aggression by surgical attacks against those E-UNI pilots still engaging us.

After this incident, we contacted their diplomats directly to address our concerns. They claimed they would be cautious to not engage mix-standings fleets in the future, and in particular, watch local chat communications for any urgent communiques.

Now, as of this week, E-UNI leadership has announced a future campaign of piracy inside Federation Lowsec territory. This blatant violation of CONCORD regulations, without any extenuating circumstances such as Faction Warfare engagements, has raised alarm throughout the Gallente Militia.

As a result, we have terminated the Non Agression Pact with Eve University and their parent alliance. We do not intend on realigning our priorities, namely, fighting the Caldari State which is occupying several Federation systems, but we will take every action necessary to defend ourselves and Federation Interests.

As mister Soter stated, the situation with the E-UNI is deteriorating.

I was somewhat reluctant even after I was present in the fleet that was attacked. The E-UNI pilots attacked only pilots that were non -blue to them. Then one of their Slicers attacked my Exequror and I had to destroy him with my Hammerheads! The action of one idiot does not mean the whole alliance is the enemy..... However, thinking back, they saw the blues in the fleet that attacked (even when they attacked non-blues - but they were part of the blue fleet). Also they announced this piracy campaign. We cannot stand idly by. These are not actions of someone who care for the best interest of the lowsec areas of space.

EL-G stands with Moira and the whole of GMVA: Acts of aggression from E-UNI or just preparation for it will be met with extreme prejudice.

Edit: Ms Dusette... That Slicer killed by an Exequror's medium drones do raise questions about the quality of Eve Uni students quite strongly.

You should be more worried about getting rolled by a bunch of fresh-out-of academy capsuleers than making press statements at this point.

Good hunting Eve-U!

I suspect the premise behind this exercise is "learn by doing." I do not imagine that getting blown up troubles the students involved, given that it is the likely (and quite possibly intended) outcome. Moreover, they have rather commendably chosen to fire on those who can be expected to fire back.

Some with military backgrounds might even see this as an admirable example of "live fire training."

This is a real good University, if it teaches students to fight against world gallenteanism.

Raise your students with knowledge, and not gallentean propaganda!

Show them frogs, where their place is!

They're new pilots. Half of them struggle with their overviews and have no knowledge about the clusters politics and other diplomatic issues.

Stop acting surprised. They're not terrorists. They're students. From the sounds of it, they didn't even shoot blues but people without standings with them (they've always been NBSI in lo-sec, by the way). They used to roam around Amamake to train their pilots in warfare and it was no different then.

I don't particularly find this news-worthy. I understand it's just a statement of intent but, while it trys to justify dropping standings with them, the justification isn't really there.

Also, I'd like a link to this announcement about piracy so I can read it myself. A cursory search on gal-net returned no such results.

To summarize:
Gallente Militia fleet ravaged by a bunch of juvenile students who barely know which side of a rocket launcher to turn at the target, Villore Accords call them 'evil terrorists' and 'pirates' in order to save face.

Hilarious.

Though, having been out, patrolling Placid last night, with every Gallente group running away from the Angel fleet, I have to say I'm not too surprised.

I think the funniest part, however, is Federal elements still making its empty hegemonial claims over Placid. Seriously, that's so 112.

Why on earth would we engage 25 Sacrileges when I could sidstep their targeting speed in an Tech 1 cruiser? Your bloated claims of superiority are belied by the fact you achieved essentially no combat kills for the duration of your operation, except those you could find located around Barleguet and piloted by Brave Newbies Collective pilots. Truly the epitome of skill, that.

E-UNI have fired on me in lowsec more than once.

But then again, I'm red and flashy.
I'm like that in your overview, too

Maybe you should write them a cease and desist letter.
