Intergalactic Summit

Emphasis mine. There are piratical elements in the Caldari militia and any true servant of the State would eradicate these elements without hesitation. However, I believe the point being made here is that the Intaki are operating in Placid (their home system) as an independent sovereignty which is not actively engaged in the war against the State. The desire to operate independently is something we Caldari should relate to intimately.

There is more to war and service than shooting at everything, often times the greatest benefit to conflict is the discovery of new allies and trusted neighbors.




Yes, I believe that was the problem. You refused to acknowledge the Intaki people, the people living and operating within Placid.


Let me address your points in the appropriate order and manner.

To the first: Whether or not there is wisdom in my approach is not for you to decide. Your perception of my ignorance is about to be tested and I speak with respect to those worthy of it. This does not include you.

To the second: The Placid Region is the home system of the Intaki people, located deep into a warzone that was established by CONCORD for the Empyrean War, not by any choosing of the Intaki people. It is "swarmed" by Federation capsuleers seeking to oppose what they consider Caldari occupation because the Intaki do not have a registered independent milita with CONCORD and cannot therefore claim their own system.

To the third: Certainly not. Where there is a difference between you and I is that I recognize the difference between the Intaki and the Gallente Militia. There are Caldari militia in the Placid region too, does this make it a Caldari territory? No. Nor does the presence of the Gallente militia make it a Gallente territory - Placid belongs to the Intaki, a people that have a right to their independence and sovereignty if they so desire it.

To the fourth: The Intaki did. Perhaps you may wish to research the history of the Intaki and their struggle for representation, security and eventually independence. It's a struggle that the Caldari should be able to relate to. I would also point out to you that Ishukone Corporation purchased the development and security rights to the Placid Region when it came under Caldari occupancy in YC 111. Ishukone and I-RED continue to honor their commitment to the Placid Region and to the Intaki people.

To the fifth: I have been to the Intaki system. The presence of Gallente militia and Caldari militia does not make the system any less Intaki than it has ever been. Where the distinction between us occurs is that you fail to distinguish between the Intaki and the Gallente Federation. The Empyrean War only allows for the Caldari and the Gallente to war over the system but the system is home to and belongs to the Intaki.



Interesting. I did not insult you one time in my original statements. I directly referenced you. Furthermore, I am not defending the Gallente in any way, I'm making a pointed distinction between the official nation known as the Gallente Federation and the race of people known as the Intaki.

A few minor corrections, kirjuun.

The more militant Intaki exiles joined the Caldari Navy while the less-militant ones or those more closely associated with an Intaki secession movement formed the independent Intaki Syndicate.

Mordu's Legion was formed later consisting of the same Intaki that were in the Caldari Navy.

((Unintentional post, please ignore))

Following the disappointing arguements that have marred the initial announcement by I-RED I was reluctant to respond myself, despite some of the commentary referring to the Intaki system and ILF.

However Kim's mistaken comments have prompted me to attempt to clarify one important detail.

Ishukone was granted development rights of the Intaki system over the other Caldari Megacorporations.

It is to be expected that the Federation would call this a campaign of establishing dominion, of ownership, of control. It's a message that would call the loyal masses to the cause. That this misinformation is now accepted as truth by those on both sides of the current conflict serves as evidence of the effectiveness of the Federation's propaganda machine.

Upon the FDU's recapture of the system the facts are reflected by Ishukone being quick to approach the negotiating table and agree with the Intaki Assembly what we can only assume is a mutually beneficial contract applicable within Intaki's borders and there is currently no evidence to suggest they have breached the terms of that contract that I'm aware of.

Perhaps the persistance of the idea that Ishukone wishes for "ownership" of the Intaki system and it's people is related to the Assembly's decision to award two high profile contracts to two State aligned groups at the cost of their Federal predecessors.

With regards to Ishukone's activities in Intaki and those of it's subsidiaries I can, as a representative to the IPI Council confirm on the record that the IPI alliance acknowledges the efforts of I-RED in Intaki and Viriette, which have undoubtably had a positive impact on the region. The IPI understands that despite a change in focus for I-RED, Intaki has not been abandoned in the pursuit of greener pastures and I-RED infrastructure remains in place and active, contributing as we speak to the ongoing stability of the Viriette constellation.

So I would like to congratulate I-RED on their recent successes as originally announced and am reassured that our cousins in the Intaki Syndicate will benefit in the same way the people of Intaki, Placid have done.

What have piratical elements do about it? Of course, there are always misfits and profiteers, luckily they are mostly in minmatar militia now (because of profits), and became fair game. Anyway, this is internal militia problem, and you, civilians, are not the ones who are allowed into it.


This independent sovereignty is situated deep in warzone between our State and Gallente Federation. They are neither friends, nor enemies, but just victims of the war.


I have to admit, that even you can say sometimes something reasonable. Well done.



Why do you think I refuse acknowledge the Intaki people? I am well aware about their existence and that they die because of this war from both sides. But I am a soldier, not a nurse. I cannot allow myself to mourn every innocent soul that gets into my line of fire, or line of fire of my comrades. This is a war, and peoples die. Innocent workers, who happen to work for the wrong side, by-passers during wrong time in the wrong place, ship crews, passengers, station operators and many others. You know, you can't count everyone. You are either professional, or spineless whiner. And in the later case, you'd better give up your flying license and start growing some friendly cuddly furriers planetside.

And once again you have proven that you are completely incapable of understanding anything beyond your black-and-white merciless campaign against everyone you view as an enemy of the State, regardless of the truth behind your assessment (or lack thereof).

The presence of the Federal Navy has absolutely no bearing on the situation, the Empyrean War is fought between capsuleers and the navies of the respective governments will occupy whatever territory is captured.

Instead of attempting to understand the situation, you are commanding Ishukone to dishonor their commitment and betray not only themselves but the State and the Intaki as well.

You are a blind fool, I will waste no more words on you.

Once they start to threaten outsiders, civilians as you call them, this stos being an internal militia problem. The people in question stepped on a mandate belonging to CONCORD and laws regulating what happens outside the militias.

Militias should learn to stay quietly at their place, for that they are only tolerated as long as they lead their political vendettas in the frame that was designed and granted to them by the Emergency Act.

Interesting.

It is true that stargates and colonies were built in secret and it is true that such a thing was dishonest and dishonorable.

However, I would urge you not to assume you knew the reasoning behind it because "expanding power" wasn't the reason and "expanding political influence" had already been tried. It was, in fact, one of the reasons for the early tension between the Senate and the Caldari people, the Caldari people's lack of representation and thus inability to act against laws and regulations that harmed the Caldari.

So it is mainly your word against theirs on who shot first ? I see.
