Strix pilot names Tibus Heth Enemy Number One.

Gutter Press recently spoke with top Strix pilot Calliste Gessenier, who revealed much about the energetic revival of Strix as one of the leading forces in the Federal Defence Union's war against the Caldari Menace.

Ms Gessenier stated that "so long as Tibus Heth is in power in the State there will never be an armistice or cease-fire. And I might add that it is the duty of every soldier and patriot in the Federation to ensure the end of his oppression over the Caldari people"

With Tibus Heth the central figure of the Caldari Scourge, it would appear Strix, like many other Federal organisations see Heth as the key to bringing about victory.

Ms Gessenier said "the intention is to send many Provists back home to Heth in body bags."

This would clearly demoralise the State Protectorate, and eventually Tibus Heth himself, allowing Democratic Justice to prevail over the Caldari Hegemony.

Strix tactics are of course confidential, to prevent operational details falling into the ears of the Caldari Spies, however, Ms. Gessenier was able to say that: " I would say engagement policy would center on small-gang frigate and cruiser quick reaction units with a focus on mobility and expedient application of firepower"

These fast moving Federal Eagles will surely tear apart the lumbering Caldari behemoth.

Ms. Gessenier will be at the front of the Federal fightback against the Caldari, but she is not letting the inevitable fame go to her head: "I never really considered that side of this life, myself." she said, about the capsuleer celebrity culture.

Gutter Press will continue to ask the questions the Scope doesn't.

It is the duty of the Federation to end the "oppressive rule of Tibus Heth over the Caldari people?" It's the Federation's duty to sit still and stop interfering with our business, that's part of what got this mess started in the first place!

If you're going to make Heth your target STRIX, at least be honest about why. You're interest isn't in removing oppression from the Caldari people, it's in transferring the oppression from his hands to yours.

I swear the arrogance and audacity of Federal pilots sometimes.

Calliste Gessenier is a WAR MONGER. I am currently working on a sculptural piece involving his face and five pounds of lamb offal. It will show the HORROR such people bring to the galaxy.

Just a note, Calliste Gessenier is a female. Mjalnar Gessenier would be the male counterpart.

The Caldari State is not some isolationist entity that "just wants to be left alone". It is a corporate union that relies on the exploitation of foreign markets for domestic profit. That's how any corporation works fundamentally, including Gallentean corporations (albeit for their own benefit, not any population under their charge). The fact the Big Eight have operations in the Federation is testament to that. Foreign corporations, no matter what their nationality, are bad news.

Let's not forget the Caldari State was the first to take full-scale military action with the invasion of Luminaire in YC110. In addition to the [re-]conquest of Caldari Prime, the State auctioned off occupied Intaki and Gallentean systems when your militia conquered them wholesale. This involved the replacement of freely-elected local governments with corporate proxies, the economic exploitation of these systems for the benefit of the occupiers, and so forth.

However, you may think the Federation's economic domination at the expense of the Caldari State during the years running up to YC110 is acceptable cause for waging war by first strike. You're entitled to that opinion. I just think killing because of numbers is a criminality.

General Inhonores,

You've beaten this argument into exhaustion and I'll not entertain it again.

I made no statement regarding the State's intentions, and there are a number of reasons why State corporations exist outside of the State, not solely "exploitation of foreign markets." International and intercorporate business is mutually beneficial to every party involved, exploitation is not, check your wording.

Your viewpoint is that we struck first, our viewpoint is that you struck first. Neither of those viewpoints will change and I don't recall asking for your acceptance of why we're at war. If you think it's simply "killing over numbers" then you haven't been paying attention to anything anyone's been telling you.

I'm curious if this ideological position extends to say Quafe operating outside of the Federation, for example.

To be fair to General Inhonores, I think he probably does hold the view that Quafe shouldn't be operating outside of the Federation's borders.

I'd say he holds to that belief with Quafe, as well. I would also suggest that not every corporation operates in international territory for the same reasons.

And I would tend to agree. When one stops to consider the long term effects on biological hygiene cause by extended Quafe consumption, especially on noncapsuleers, I for one begin to question if maybe the sale of Quafe (by)products in other empires, combined with the manufacturer's manipulative marketing practices, is not atleast in part an attempt to encourage a less healthy lifestyle among rival empire's citizenship.

Whilst I would say there are slight factual errors in the article, I believe organizations such as Shadows of the Federation or the Villore Accords far more worthy of being considered the "Top" FDU military units, the rest I would say is accurate if a tad biased.

I have never held that duty and self-aggrandizement are mutually compatible concepts but the article was flattering nonetheless.

That's quite the conspiracy theory. The Caldari people deserve to live in an independent, free and open society which is currently not possible under the regime of Tibus Heth. We are fighting for the liberty of the Caldari people just as much as we are defending the Federation and its people against the aggression of the State Executor.

And here we see yet again the age old fallacy that the Gallente Federation somehow knows what's best for the Caldari State, a fallacy as old as the great war itself. The so called "free and open society" which you suggest is an insult to the Caldari civilization, it breeds subversion and would only serve to destablize the corporate collective that I and others like myself have sworn our existance to protect clone after clone until we can clone no more.

As for Executor Heth, let his words and merit speak for him.

"In the span since Heth’s inauguration, however, the turnaround in economic growth has been undeniable. Caldari have more money in their pockets. They are more secure about their retirement. People who under the old system would have found themselves forever excluded from certain positions now reside within those positions. The general feeling, on the streets and in the stations, is that for better or worse something great and grand is underway, that the previous system was ailing and outmoded, and that the New Meritocracy (as it has been dubbed by the press) is a return to form for a great nation shackled too long in the chains of favoritism. Averting their eyes from the darkness all around them, the Caldari people now for the first time in years set their sights on a brighter future." source

"Heth considers himself a citizen first and foremost above being leader of the State. As such, when it comes to his health, he desires no preferential treatment and prefers to visit the same doctor who treated him during his years working for Caldari Constructions." source

"My name is Tibus Heth, and I am a Caldari Patriot. The restoration of our State's dignity begins now." - Executor Tibus Heth

As an invidual created to protect the Caldari State at any and all costs, it is my civic duty to inform any and all who stand against the Caldari State that to do so will be met with swift and unrelenting force, as it always has. Your brand of "freedom" will NEVER be tolerated, and you are insane to think it ever will.

GLORY TO THE STATE! o7

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury, I direct your attention to Roden Shipyards, known for its owner's history of robber barony, hostile corporate takeovers and political patsies for competition removal.

Furthermore, I direct your attention to the Federation whose history speaks for itself regarding the ideals of "freedom" and "liberty" and exactly how those ideals are practiced in regards to "conquered" peoples.

There's no conspiracy theory, history and character speak for themselves.

This is precisely what I'm talking about. Since when did we ask you what we deserved? Since when is it your right to tell us what we deserve and how we should achieve it? The Caldari people deserve to choose for themselves what path we take, the Caldari people deserve freedom from the political oppression of your Federation, a decision we made for ourselves.

Take your self-righteous declarations and sit on them.

M. Khross,

Your allegations against President Jacus Roden and Roden Shipyards are typical of the received opinions the liberal main-stream media in the Federation, such as The Scope, seek to present to the public as "facts" but which are nothing more than lies, libel, and slander against an entrepreneur and businessman who has managed to raise himself from nothing to become President.

I would very much suggest alternative media outlets in the Federation for a more fair and balanced treatment on President Roden and Roden Shipyards.

You didn't. The political rights of self-determination for the Caldari State were made forfeit the moment they attacked the Federation and so opened a campaign of violence, war, and intimidation against the citizens of the Federation. It is clear that the Caldari State under Tibus Heth is an aggressive, bellicose and warmongering nation and the only path to peace both now and in the future is to ensure the implementation of an open and democratic society in the Caldari State and the absorption of Kaalakiota, Lai Dai and Wiyrkomi into the remaining five Megacorporations.

Oh? And how does the Federation intend to achieve such an undertaking when your Federal Defense Union can barely hold it's own against the State Protectorate, let alone the combined forces of the Caldari Navy and every corporate police force in the State, that the Federation would surely bring down upon itself should it ever attempt such a momentously stupid act of aggression. I can only hope that on that day I will be there, and be one of those fortunate enough to shove a cruise missile through your wasted hull. Oh and don't worry about your drones, I'm sure they will be put to good use when they, along with the rest of the wreckage that used to be your fleet, are reprocessed and used to create additional warships and armaments to hold back the hypocrisy that is your "freedom loving" Federation!

Ah, once again news that a Federal agent rails against Tibus Heth, CEO of KK, Ytiri, & Caldari Constructions, head of the Caldari Providence Directorate. Surprise!

If not for Tibus Heth's anti-Gallente policies and invasion of Luminaire and liberation of Caldari Prime, the Federation would adore the man! A populist leader, who made the corporate elite listen to the people, say it isn't so!

The Gallente had been pursuing this for years and cried out when a Corporation squashed disruptive rioters, terrorist, and rebels. How nice of the Scope to spin these events to gain the sympathy of the common Federation citizen for the "oppressed" Caldari worker.

Then everything changed.

A populist leader rose that the Federation didn't, couldn't control. The Federation had strings they could pull on the nepotistic Caldari executive elite, as much immersed in Gallente culture as Caldari. They weren't that different from the Federation's own executive elite. The Federation has no such strings with Tibus Heth.

I guess the SDII never thought their efforts to setup a populist uprising might actually allow someone other than their puppet to rise from obscurity. How short sighted ... how Gallente.
