Intergalactic Summit

With this latest development, the three largest cities on Caldari Prime are now all under Ishukone administration.

Mordu's Legion will also continue providing security and policing for the planet for the time being; their extended contract now stretches a further four years into YC 120.

I would like to extend, on behalf of Tyrathlion Interstellar, our congratulations and well-wishes for future developments and efforts to Ishukone, Material Acquisition and Mordu's Legion. The last year's progress is no small feat, and something for all parties to be proud of - no matter how small their contributions.

Bigger, better markets. About time.

Bout damn time.

Arcurio is the real estate version of genital warts.

This has zero effect on a capsuleer. You're not effected by this in the slightest, people. You're not part of the baseliners anymore.

Rise above this utter rubbish.

The Empyrean freedom to redefine ourselves includes the freedom to define ourselves as Caldari who care about the homeworld and the well-being of the State.

Well, really good news. I like the actions of Ishukone corp in these latter days.

This is really a good progress. I really hope one day we will be allies with Gallente nation, they're not so bad. Sure, they did some bad moves, but less than others (talking about Amarr here).

I see the media are still asking the tough questions about the Senate's takeaway from this agreement. I feel much safer with a press that keeps our elected officials accountable. Well done.

Politically speaking, the Senate representatives involved are building themselves the mother of all re-election campaigns - "we ended the Second Gallente-Caldari War! We brought you peace and safety! We gave Caldari Prime back to the Caldari!" That sort of prestige is essentially a free vote from 90% of the Intaki population in their constituencies, a significant majority of the Gallentean and Jin-Mei votes, a pretty solid section of the Minmatar voter bloc and might even a few Mannar votes as well. It pretty much goes without saying that this will please Caldari citizens of the Federation immensely. It also dumps an immense amount of clout into their hands - you don't get flippant with the people who solved the largest and most costly threat to the Federation's security.

From a far more cynical perspective, handing over Arcurio - a huge city with a strong demographic Caldari majority, devastated by the Shiigeru impact - could easily be seen as a pragmatic way of giving a problem case to somebody else. Arcurio no doubt has deep cultural and historical significance to the State, but it's also kind of a mess right now - a mess that the Federation now no longer has to worry about spending as much money, time and personnel cleaning up.

Other factors include exchange of money, contacts, intelligence, resources, technology or other favours.

You're quite right. The Senate is getting something good out of this, and I, as with many others, would very much like to know what.

See, that puts a seed of worry into my mind. If the Federation is suddenly willing to sell what the State is buying, what if they're doing it because they anticipate a larger problem is at hand?

That's one of the many reasons why I advocate peace between the State and the Federation. Apart, we're already pretty damn spectacular. Working together, there's nothing we couldn't do.
