Intergalactic Summit

I completely agree Kim-haan. While I disagreed with many of the former Executor's actions and policies, he was Caldari through and through. Everything he did was what he honestly believed was the best course of action for a better State. Being as strong and resilient of man that he is, it is likely he would be caring a suicide agent at all times, in the event that capture be even a remote possibility. Despite the hate he receives, he would unquestionably give his life for the State, even in exile.

That being said, the only reason the Nation would have to capture such a strong-willed individual would be, and this is pure speculation, Kuvakei is actually dead and the Nation can no longer operate solely on the remnants of his consciousness. After Sansha reconditioning and processing, I believe the former Executor would provide the proper intellect, force of will, and strength of presence for the Nation to view him as a fitting successor to Kuvakei and lead them.

I'm not so sure about that. The former Executor did not get to where he was by being stupid or strategically inept.

If the Executor was useful to one cabal, he may well have been perceived as useful by another.

I respect both the Executor and Master Kuvakei for their drive and capacity to achieve results, and would simply reiterate that it is premature to declare either conclusively dead.

I am a bit mystified by the Executor's escape route, however. I would have made a break for Taisy, myself.

Given the different worlds inhabited my military commanders and those who tell them what to do from the safety of an office, the best we can hope for, and should pressure the state with any influence we have, is for a fair trial.

We should well be aware by now of the vertical command structure under the provists and the murky demise of Adm Yanala afterwards, and Spectre was a disaster of such proportions that the state is going to be hard pressed to blame so few people while not seeing beyond the scope of who they have the power to charge; that it was so bad you have a lot of blame to spread around.

Tibus Heth was real patriot and was born as a leader. There is no explanation really needed. He was destined to rule the State and lift gallentean occupation from our homeworld!


You, Mr. Stitcher, need further lessons, if you want to try to understand, what does it mean to be Caldari.
Feel free to visit me, when you will be ready to continue your education, and, maybe, someday you will earn yourself right to call yourself Caldari.
Not now, unfortunately.

Another high profile failure in the Caldari Navy. Is this sort of thing news?

Prosecutions of high ranking Caldari Navy officers? Kinda big news, yes.

I wonder if we'll deal with it in a civilised manner by making him burn to death?

I advise you to read up on Operation Highlander (battle for caldari prime) and Operation Spectre ( 4 nations enganing pirate installations)
It will give you a better view on why this is news.

Especially operation Spectre might humble you, as that was a total screwup, not only by the Caldary Navy Fleet Commander, but also of the Gallente Fleet Commander and minmatar & Amarr... they all failed, under Concord's 'guidance' (or lack of it really)

Once you looked into this, you can come back & give an informed opinion. I even made it easy for you, my signature contains a link to an expanded newsarticle concerning the arrest that explains these two operations in more detail, including references to the events themselves.

Indeed correct Miss Noh, it slipped my mind, as it wasn't directly connected to the topic at hand, but it'll surely help Mr Redpants in getting to know what happened the last year.

If he is facing court martial for operation Highlander, and for crimes in relation to the CPD why was he allowed to have command in operation Spectre, months after his failures previous? For a system that relies on merit he seems to be given an uncharacteristic amount of windfall and chances. This either makes the State seem incompetent or weak in execution which does not fit with past actions, or it supports the theory that he is a scapegoat, either now or during Spectre.

Both answers seem too simple to me however, I am sure that adding the slow grind of empire bureaucracy and the hardships that have befallen the State of late things such as this cleaning of house of an officer who was allowed to persist too long after he was worthy and cause harm more than once is surely as strong a sign of weakness that the Caldari Navy would ever exhibit.

And after the turmoil of the last few years it is impressive that the catching of breath and cleaning of house was executed as it was. A stark contrast to the long crescendo culminating in an overnight purge of the Republic, The sudden inevitable rise of the Empress or, ...whatever the hell the Federation does.

As usual the State grinds on I suppose. Hardly a bump in the road.
