Intergalactic Summit

Aptly put, Gesakaarin-haani. The question is where what would WHG gain from noncompliance.

Ma'am, I have been informed that I can come out and play again. I'll be at The Summit most days, if you miss me.

Any entity which signs a contract and abides by it is a lawful entity.

And I will rephrase the question:

What duty has WHG failed in that WHG's CEO and Board of Directors felt a personnel audit by the self-appointed arbitrators of Heiian, the SLT and the CPD, would absolve them of that failure?

Once upon a time, when a Caldari believed they had failed in or was unable to perform their duty, they would walk into the cold and relieve the community of the burden of supporting them. Even less than a decade ago, great captains who held to Heiian but failed in some duty would follow this tradition and accept exile to Mordu's Legion.

WHG's CEO, Board of Directors, and personnel are steeped enough in Heiian to know when they have failed in their duty, they shouldn't need someone else to tell them.

In any case, surely the results of the audit should be posted before anyone considers going for a long talk with their ancestors?

It seems to me, then, that the Wiyrkomi Honor Guard's view of who to consider their kirjuun is simply broader than yours.

Are you implying that it is better not to seek compliance with the office of the State Executor, the SLT and CPD, in addition to the mandate of the Chief Executive Panel who have granted them lawful authority to implement their directives? That Heiian demands non-compliance with the Laws of the Caldari State? That Heiian does not prescribe obedience, service, and loyalty at all times -- but especially in a time of war?

Taking your example:

Why should a Wiyrkomi subsidiary seek to comply with the regulations and directives of Wiyrkomi in order to meet their concept of Heiian?

Why should a corporate citizen seek to comply with the regulations and directives of their employer in order to meet their concept of Heiian?

Why should a son or daughter seek to comply with the wishes of their parents in order to meet their concept of Heiian?

Without submission to the demands of the law and to rightful authority then there is only the chaos of disunity and disorder.

The CPD and SLT are lawful and rightful authorities so long as they remain extensions of the office of the State Executor as granted by the CEP. As such, meeting compliance with their directives is meeting compliance with the duties expected of a loyal citizen of the Caldari State.

This does not change the fact that Heth-haan is the CEO of Kaalakiota Corporation, the State Executor of the CEP or that the SLT and CPD are agencies of the Executor.

Duty is a burden that is carried by all citizens, and one that must be held with the dignity, honor and respect it deserves. It is not a choice, except when one chooses to abandon it.

Make no mistake, I do not pledge allegiance to the individual but rather to the position that they hold. Since Heth-haan holds the Office of the State Executor then I am honor-bound to follow the diktats of that position. Anything less would be a failure of my duty and a gross act of disloyalty to the Caldari State.

This appears to be the position held by the majority of citizens, the Officers and soldiery of the Caldari Navy and Army, the Directorates of the Okusaikan, and the leaders of the Chief Executive Panel.

However, you appear to be implying the entirety of the Caldari State, its leaders, its armed forces and its institutions have all failed their duty and obligations to Heiian.

Are you implying you know it better than the leaders of the Caldari State and your fellow citizens?

I quoted the part of your statement which was inaccurate. If it helps mend any offence caused you weren't the only one overlooking the WHG employees still under audit.

If you mean '... when such individuals are proven or perceived by a majority of their peers to not be pursuing the corporate interests they allege to represent.' We are in agreement.

However the opposition of a moral, ethical and loyalty audit, requested by WHG and executed by it's own Commissariat to the standards (and with the oversight) of the CPD is not such a case. The CPD is not the Executor, but it is his instrument and administrative body in these areas, which to me means it carries the weight of the Executors presence and achievements. He may not have gained his position through the usual means of advancement through the executive ranks, but he is a celebrated war hero and icon to our people.

Simply put, an audit adhering to the values and oversight of such an organisation clearly falls into the realm of due diligence, there is no question as to their loyalty or performance in the State, for the State. Should the state of the warzone be a factor in such discussions, as a capsuleer led effort we have no one but ourselves to blame for any shortcomings there. The CPD via the State Protectorate represents the most realistic medium through which we capsuleers may benefit our culture and people, and until the CEP deems otherwise, this will continue to be the way of things.

Neither and all positions of authority are maintained through the threat of violence, even if first established via consent.


I think the reforms spurred by the meteoric rise to power of Heth-haan and the threat of further violence should the Directorates of the Okusaikan enabled many reforms that were sorely needed. However, in pursuing those reforms the CPD has often violated corporate sovereignty and caused damage to the very contract-law structure which maintains the State.


I think circumstances varied from corporation to corporation and that the level of economic recession was overplayed in the Scope's reports. That some executives had failed Heiian, I have no doubt. However, other than CC, Ytiri, and KK all of our CEOs and Boards of Directors have had normal change-overs or none at all. Lai Dai's CEO and Board of Directors remain.


I think the State got lucky in the liberation of Caldari Prime, but we find ourselves now facing the logistical nightmare our forefathers sought to avoid.

The dishonor of Malkalen is far from erased, but it cannot be erased merely through force of arms against an entire people.

I think the an effective response to the Federation policies of containment was demonstrated long ago. The State's influence throughout the cluster is incredible, including enabling the transformation of an entire Amarrian house into the Kingdom.

Economic and military rivalry is a good thing to have. Whether it is between the State and Federation, SuVee and KK, or LDIS and I-RED.


If you wish to put me on public trial for standing up for Heiian as I see it, say so now.
