Intergalactic Summit

In the words of every incredulous capsuleer in history: killmails or it didn’t happen.

I find this absolutely hillarious.

Really.

Probably the fact that a carrier with no drones of any kind was beaten by three battleships and a cynabal. And it's cargohold is truely glorious.

I fail to see exactly what political point you assumed I was making. As some reading may know, I have a rather long running dislike of Mr. Airaken and the fact he's lost a carrier has really cheered me up.

As for destroyed drones, thats fair enough. But then again, the fact he had so few drones that you were able to destroy more or less all of them says something in itself.

The part about a Seeker being stupid enough to jump alone into a lowsec system in a capital, proceed to hover over one of the planets, announce his intent to land troops or whatnot in local, only to have his ship full of blueprints and random tidbits be shot out of the sky by inept Cartel loyalists. It all seems rather contrived, and if it truly is an accident of circumstances, then even better.

Now as for these supposed deaths. I have heard no stories from third parties to corroborate Mr. Caine’s story. Firstly, carriers simply do not drop out of the sky on to planets when they are destroyed; standard orbits are very high and unless Boma had a set warp-in very close to the upper atmosphere of the planet it would have taken hours for the wreck to land. Additionally, even if this were the case, the pilot would have needed to direct the flaming wreckage of his ship directly on top of a major city to cause the casualties described here. No easy feat when the atmosphere and poorly-aimed artillery shells is breaking it apart. And that is another matter – why did the Stillwater forces not destroy the wreck before it hit? Surely they could have blown it up instead of looting it, right? Because I am absolutely sure there is some EoM property now in the hangars of the Cartel loyalists that participated in this little escapade. If they had time to loot, they had time to save the civilians, which they did not do.

Either the death toll is exaggerated or extreme ineptitude was exhibited in the handling of this event. Even if it is true I suspect that if the story is now being used to illicit sympathy for the ‘noble’ Cartel protectors of Akila. Leopold’s crocodile tears may fool some, but not I.

Don't bother with either option.

I've dealt with Astroyka before; she just seeks to draw the topic away from an Amarrian doing good work, and re-focus it on 'Look at me, I'm so riteous and noble, nyaa-nyaa.'

Best to ignore her until she stops babbling.

As for the attack:

An unprovoked attack, against a planetbound colony full of civilians, is absolutely galling. I offer the services of my corporation to assist in the rebuilding and cleanup process.

Early estimates show that the EoM carrier was baited into Akila by the local Theology Council agents and forces, as I stated in my original post. After wiping them out, we were the only people to shoot down the carrier before it warps off with one of the Kyonoke components.

As I said, interrogation is underway.

Astroyka, your bias is leaking through your sides.

Please leave this topic if you have nothing to add to the situation in terms of condolences for the lives lost or humanitarian help for the survivors of the accident.

Congratulations, making the deaths of three million completely innocent people into nothing more than yet another strident tirade of junkyard dog barking simply goes to affirm those personal qualities that have made you stand out as a unique human being.

Whatever the realities are of the conflict between Matari and Amarrian, both sides have a name for someone who cares nothing for MEGADEATHS of civilian casualties. That name is sociopath.

Funny how ACN hasn't aired anything about the incident. I believe Mr Caine must have been in some type of drug induced delusion.
