Intergalactic Summit

Congratulations to all involved the way I see it. I am no fan of Soter but, keeping this thing going for as long as he has is certainly worthy of praise.

Likewise Pyre has come up from a small organization with limited resources to be the strongest corporation in the Amarr Milita at the moment. I remember as a pilot in Shaktipat flying with Pyre as blues in I.law and the power level the group wields now versus then is certainly worthy of respect, I am just happy I managed to be a part of that change.

I also remember from time to time working with Hoplite when I flew with the Huola coalition and their rise in numbers has been dramatic and I imagine that once they are more organized and expierenced to seige lulm would be a terrible prospect. They are proving the tribes powerful warriors, and as a Brutor they have my respect.

So I can't claim to have the best kill record out there but I certainly have respect and I think that is something more valuable.

That's not quite where I meant the thread to go and I apologize for it.

Also I was not affiliated with Pyre when they were back in Gallente space. So I cannot comment against that. Though considering the number of pilots back then, and our current structure, I would say it's effectively a whole new organization. And while I do appreciate the spirited defense of those like Hoplite, I will admit one of their greatest flaws is probably organization and discipline. Their spirit is certainly not lacking.

I would also like to actually congratulate the entirety of the FDU on reclaiming all of their space. If it were up to me I would end the Militia wars and revert all boarders back to their pre-Militia lines. (Yes this would mean Pyre backing off from the Aldodan Constellation. Wouldn't be an issue because if the war did end, our reason for our presence would be ended) So taking, and holding, space that was originally yours is a laudible thing. Exception being Caldari Prime, that's something that I think a joint government would be best for. It is Caldari but in Gallente hands, this cannot be denied and anyone seeking a pure one side or the other approach will be met with weapons fire by the other side.

Apology accepted, and congratulations to the greater FDU community are appreciated as well.

Honestly, what I said wasn't really meant to be an indictment or disparagement of PYRE's history or recent accomplishments. When they were in CalMil I saw them as one of the few entities that were effective in small gang tactics. Now that ya'll fight under the Amarrians you've come to have a major strategic impact on that warzone.

Our two organizations have always had different philosophies and internal metrics of success. Gallente Militia recruits are handed Atrons and taught to engage in attrition warfare, punching above their class and taking losses to gain a tactical advantage for the fleet. That's how we were able to successfully defeat Caldari forces that at the time regularly outnumbered us even when their numbers weren't bolstered by the influx of large nullsec alliances like Evoke, TEST and others.

When we used to fight PYRE in CalMil, they were a much smaller and more tight knit entity. Although their approach was the polar opposite to ours in tactics, they were also very often outnumbered because they tended to not fly with the general State Protectorate blob.

That's what my crack about kitey Condors and Hookbills was referencing. At that time, PYRE used those ships to fly very effective sorties against typical Gallente Militia loadouts. If you were alone in a brawling ship you'd be kited, TDd, and needled to death by missiles by any combination of 2-4 PYRE pilots. Any time you brought a gang capable of applying fast tackle, they'd harass if possible and disengage if they could.

Strong tactics, for sure. Certainly effective in getting kills and avoiding losses. Less effective in holding territory. Like I said, though... different metrics for success!

While the Caldari State holds profitability and ISK in higher esteem than all else, the Federation takes the lives of its Federal Citizens very seriously.

Any action to take a sovereign Federation system will be met with the harshest of consequences. As the enemies we faced discovered for themselves.

I appreciate that I've been upgraded from "warcriminal" to "blowhard"... my thanks.

The legislation proposed in this transmission, if you had bothered to read it, is indeed one of the surest steps to peace we can take. Unfortunate that you don't seem to take such serious attempts at reconciliation to heart.

It's also not something we'll be making with Julianus Soter and yourself, Rinai. It's something that our handlers will be making with his handlers - unless the peace process underway in Pakshi turns out very differently than I expect, that is.

Besides, you're assuming the issue we have with Julianus is his policies and not his personality and, bereft of arguments in the face of his vision and brilliance, we're reduced to attacking his personality. That is not so - Julianus' vision for the administration of Gallente sovereignty space is entirely a matter for those charged to actually administrate star systems to belittle and ignore, not us. The thing we take issue with is him coming in here every four or five days to trumpet every banal little achievement as if he's changed the face of the cluster forever - there's a big difference between a proud father hanging his kid's artwork on the fridge and petitioning to hang it in a gallery.

Things that happen in the warzone routinely:

1. Ships get killed
2. Systems get flipped

I see that pirate gallentean Soter is poking his head again.
Surprised he didn't lost all his hairs after failed Okkamon "blockade".

If your Federation is "whole", it is only temporary, because while your fascist occupants will stay in our worlds, we will keep fighting, and as you aren't interested in getting out of our way, we will fight to the end. To YOUR end.

The Federation must be destroyed.

You were right, her cheeks do dimple when she scowls.

Payment has been forwarded.

Actually, I think its to the credit of both the Caldari and the Gallente involved in fighting over the last month in the Esesier / Anchauttes / Alamel area that neither side was fielding much in the way of Warp Core Stabs.

In fact, I don't recall ever seeing a group of Caldari pilots more willing to field Battleships and other heavy ships during a campaign. Our opponents were far from risk averse, which was very refreshing. GMVA pilots definitely enjoyed bringing out the heavy stuff themselves.

You forgot:

3. Lowsec markets
