Original story

Quote:
YVEVE – Just moments ago, the Nugoeihuvi News Network has received details of what appears to be the largest narcotics raid in Federal history, after an underground warehouse was stormed on Yveve II containing narcotics with an estimated street value of more than eight hundred billion kredits.

Sources within Federation Customs indicate that the raid is the culmination of a three-year long investigation into narcotics and human trafficking along the Federal border between Solitude and the nullsec region of Syndicate.

The action, which was undertaken in complete secrecy by Federation Customs with forces supplemented by vessels and troops from the Federal Marines, Federal Defense Union and Federation Navy, is believed to have also revealed significant intelligence on the operations of both the Guardian Angels and the Serpentis Corporation, including details of a number of their logistics facilities and portions of their distribution network.

In response to requests for comment from Nugoeihuvi News, a statement was released by Commander Veyn Vares, a capsuleer handling agent based in Octanneve that praised the “unbelievable professionalism, and unprecedented collaboration between all branches of FEDCAF during this incredibly challenging operation”.

News of the raid and the sheer value of the confiscated narcotics has already ignited fierce debate in the Senate today regarding the status of Solitude, which is the only region of the Federation not connected to the Caldari State via direct shipping routes. A number of senators have openly expressed concerns over Solitude's soaring crime rates and significant infrastructure issues during the course of senate sessions today.


Is cute that those "senators have openly expressed concerns over Solitude's soaring crime rates" most of them never visited Solitude and people living here aren't the consumers of those drugs, maybe they should look at the consumption of narcotics in the mainland of the Federation by the more decadent part of our society.

UPDATE: Caldari editors aren't good in there job - "which is the only region of the Federation not connected to the Caldari State via direct shipping routes."

Wonderful. Drugs are bad kids, don't use 'em. Exercise and eat right instead.

Well done. I've been out into Solitude enough to have seen some of these issues. Best of luck in any future efforts to remedy them.

All of these problems would go away if the Federation would simple cede Solitude to the political entity which DOES have a direct connection to Solitude — the Amarr Empire.

All those Ni-Kunni leaving Amarr Aridia for Solitude are a proof how everything is fine there.
We can take care even without direct connection to the Federation just ask Kador... oh wait.

"All those" Ni-Kunni are mighty evasive of Fed demographic statistics then.
