Intergalactic Summit

2 weeks ago, Gallente Federation intelligence analysts noted a sharp increase in illegal system interdiction activity known as "Plexing" by terrorists affiliated with the Caldari State Protectorate, commonly known as Caldari Militia, within Gallente held systems in Black Rise.

This terrorist activity was revealed to be originating from freeported Astrahus class citadels in the Nisuwa and Kedama systems.
Justified Chaos was commissioned by the Federal Defence Union 10 days ago to destroy the Nisuwa freeport, believed to have recently been transferred into the hands of Caldari terrorists by its owners. Fighting against light Caldari resistance, the citadel was quickly reinforced over the course of 2 days by JUSTK and its Gallente Militia allies, who believed the system would swiftly be secured.

Dramatic events began one day before the final assault, as the Federal Intelligence Office identified that a previously unknown entity, most likely a front for a Caldari terrorist group, had deployed a second Nisuwa citadel that would anchor during the hull timer for the first citadel. Gallente loyalist capsuleer corporations and alliances including Pen Is Out, Black Fox Marauders and Federation Uprising were outraged by this audacity, and began racing to commit pilots and material to this fight. In addition, the prospect of citadel kills brought assistance from the local pirate group Snuffed Out.

Worse news was to follow. Through diplomacy, the Kedama freeport owners were persuaded to lock out Caldari terrorist organizations. However, eagle-eyed intelligence agents working for Pen Is Out found 2 more Astrahuses anchoring in Kedama at the same time as the Nisuwa citadel timers under new corporations. It was clear that these were nothing but Caldari fronts.
As Federal Defence Union leadership puzzled over how to attack 4 citadels simultaneously, a welcome offer of help arrived. Explaining that "We are bad guys, but not BAD GUYS", the pirates of Project Mayhem committed to protecting Kedama from perfidious Caldari terrorist activity and prepared a force of supercapitals and capitals to destroy the citadels there, allowing FDU assets to deal with Nisuwa.

In a brutal short fight all 4 citadels were duly destroyed. This victory for the Federation did not end there, however.
Shortly before the "final" attack on Nisuwa, the dark hand behind the citadels was revealed as the notorious Caldari terrorist group Heiian Conglomerate anchored an additional THREE citadels simultaneously in Nisuwa, setting up a further battle the next day.
By this point the Gallente Militia and Pirate coalition was flush with success and easily formed up a strong fleet of capital and subcapital ships that brushed the Caldari aside and swiftly terminated all of the illegal citadels.

Caldari militia terrorists have suffered over 7 billion ISK in uninsured structure losses over the course of this short campaign. At the time of filing this report, Gallente intelligence agents have been able to find no trace of further unauthorized citadel anchoring activity, but remain vigilant. Both systems have shown a marked decrease in contested level, confirming that the terrorists were operating from the citadels.

All loyal citizens of the Federation are encouraged to report any suspicious citadel activity in Black Rise, Placid, or Essence immediately to their local Gallente Militia representative organization.

Freeport Citadel operators are reminded that while the Federal Defence Union permits the operation of these facilities, they must not provide sanctuary for Caldari terrorists otherwise you will be considered to be colluding with them and be considered a valid target for police operations.

Nice work, showed them!

Please keep destroying citadels. It drives the price up.

That's a depressing thought, and not one that I agree with.

Throw a rock into a still pond and it will create a ripple effect that rebounds and distorts the surface, but as long as no one throws another rock the surface will return to it's still state.

I feel obligated to, once again, point out that nobody was forced onto those citadels. At this point anyone willing to live on a capsuleer owned structure should know the ramifications of doing so and has made a clear choice to ignore their personal safety to be there same as we have.

It is funny how petdogs of such criminal and inhuman regime as Gallente Federation dare to call protectors of our home lands from their invasion as "terrorists".

It also shall be noted that no real assets of Heiian Conglomerate were destroyed, and these gallente occupants look for nothing but to find weak excuses to destroy civilian structures in the mentioned regions, working with common pirates like pirates themselves, unfortunately, even shaming the name of the mentioned pirates with such an association.

A couple of days ago when Gallente with these pirates dared to make an attempt at the real asset of the Caldari Coalition, their fleets were sent home crippled and the structure was defended.

Well well, aren't we taking the sanctioned bloodsport of the Pendulum Wars seriously in here? Let's just sit back, relax and be slightly grateful that all this effort and bloodlust gets wasted there rather than somewhere it can do real harm to real projects and entities.

Although I'll admit I had a chuckle at calling CalMil 'terrorists' while allying with Project Mayhem. What's next, Snuff?

It's a matter of perspective, really...

GLORY TO THE STATE!!!

It does seem to have a variable meaning at times, ne?
