Intergalactic Summit

You've made your point. The Titan in orbit of Caldari prime is gone.

Pull back your fleets and bring your troops home. Caldari Prime belongs to the Caldari people. it always has, and it always will. The gallente people in orbit and planetside are invaders. if you truly seek peace leave the Caldari homeworld to the Caldari.

You claim you are doing it for freedom. Freedom does not send soldiers to steal someone's home and kill their people. Freedom does not drop capital ship debris on innocent civilians. It's too soon for reports, but I am willing to bet your actions today have cost more lives on both sides than you claimed to have been protecting.


If the Caldari people were invading your home and trying to take it from you, you would undoubtedly react the same way we have reacted to your invasion. Gallente prime is not threatened however; our people have no interest in it. Even if it were threatened, your ships and troops should be at YOUR home, so get away from ours.

Why?
Tell me why you are not satisfied with the rest of the planets in the Luminaire system? Why are you so hell bent on stealing that one last planet that is our home? you scream of freedom, but all I see is a bully trying to take everything for themselves.

Mr. Kraid speaks the truth. We got what we wanted. Federal Navy forces should remain only to help with relief and rebuild efforts. After that, a full withdrawal will be necessary to guarantee peace within our time.

Well here's how it is.

The Titan is gone, and the people of both Gallente and Caldari Primes are safe for the time being. I will not lift a finger to assist the Gallente military in "reclaiming" Caldari Prime.

But I won't lift a finger to stop them, either.

I do hope you are refering to the Caldari people removing the invading Gallente soldiers and their mercenaries.
It's impossible for the Caldari people to be an occupational force when it's our world.

I do believe, however, that Gallente CIVILIANS, can be allowed to stay as our guests.


I am glad we can agree. This is evidence that our nations do not need to be enemies as long as we respect each other's boundaries.


The Caldari navy caught the Gallente forces off guard when they came to retake our home. They could have easily taken more planets, but they didn't. The Caldari people's only interest is on our home. A single world.

The world is majority Gallentean. What do you expect when for most of the past two centuries it's been in Luminaire?

Are you... sure you're alright, Yarod? What you're saying is in pretty much direct opposition to the actions and beliefs of your alliance.

I believe there will be more blood. I sincerely doubt the Federation is going to simply be the "bigger guy" and pull their people peacefully off OUR home world. While the State may be smaller and our faction warfare pilots lacking, I daresay you are going to see a lot of very, very talented capsuleers "come home" to the arms of the State. I intend to, if only for a little while, but I have a few "incidents" I have to clear up before they'll let me in I'm afraid.

The Megathron-class I was flying, the Ayanami Rei, is gone. Her crew of over 3000 mostly dead. Many have escaped into their lifeboats and are soon safe in station across the system.

I am still out here, floating naked in my capsule, my systems overloaded by the severe spatial distortions that plagued the battle. I am powering down my systems and keeping only the "sleep-mode" power going, along with my access to GAL-NET. No-one will ever find me, and even if they do, it will only be another insignificant death for me.

It's time I let you know a little of what I think of this disgusting mess.



I suspect that is exactly what will happen. The battle will die-down eventually and the Federation's Navy will restore full control over the system. The battles on the planet will be won by Federal forces as they will likely be reinforced by marines and troopers. The State soldiers on the ground will be defeated and either surrender to be POW's, or they will die fighting to the last. It may take years, but a state of normalcy will be restored eventually. And then the Caldari will have their world back.

You see, being Caldari, as far as I'm concerned, is a state of mind. The Caldari were Caldari centuries before the Gallente landed for the first time, they were Caldari for the centuries they cooperated, they were Caldari even as the one's that declared themselves the "Caldari" State left them behind. And they are Caldari now, even if the majority were born by Gallentean blood.

On Caldari Prime, the world itself and it's harshness forces it's population to embrace the Caldari mindset. To adapt and be assimilated into the local culture. This was true for the first non-Caldari settlers and it's true for the people there now. Caldari Prime has always been the property of the Caldari, just not the Caldari State. You briefly assumed control for the months you kept the war raging on the planet, and then you left, leaving the planet in the hands of the Caldari nation-states that had ruled it since the beginning of time. Then you returned to take control from the Caldari nation-states again and submitted the population to foreign occupation. Ironically, you held the world for a longer time this time around. Several years, as opposed to a few months.

Today, those nation-states and their population that you stepped on were liberated from foreign occupation and are free peoples once again.



The State sent soldiers to invade our homes on Caldari Prime and across the length and breath of Placid, Verge Vendor and other places. The State saw fit to kill our people in droves when you invaded Caldari Prime again and in the previous war when you drowned a city. The State saw fit to glorify the man who rammed a carrier into a planet and killed over 2 million people using ship debris. The State's fleet in orbit over Caldari Prime is now raining down on the planet and I have no idea how many will perish before we manage to clean it all up.

Tomorrow I will be in Luminaire, provided it's safe, and do what I can to help in the cleanup.



We did. The population of Caldari Prime reacted to the State invasion by doing their part to get you off the planet. Among other things, they blew up your headquarters on the planet and hunted your men down. Gallente Prime is not our only home. I live far away, on one of many worlds you saw fit to ravage with war. The only reason Heth did not glass Gallente Prime when he could is because he had 90% of his fleet in Luminaire and he knew that doing so would see us burn the State down. He is not a moron.

And finally, our troops ARE at our home, securing the Luminaire system. None of us are anywhere near New Caldari Prime. In fact, we did not even reach it in the last war, so the home of your State has never been directly endangered by this Union's warriors, as far as I know at least.

You saw fit to start a war. This day and this event was likely inevitable from that day forward. As relieved I am to see that this chapter is over, a darker and more cruel one of immense suffering and centuries of pain and misery has likely opened up.

Thank you so much, citizens of the Caldari State. If I ever sire any children, their children and their children's children will suffer in this war, because you never knew how to ask the nations of Caldari Prime politely if they would consider joining the State.

It's not like the Federation could stop them if they said yes, either.

I still see the utter hypocrisy of the Caldari people, even after a disaster such as this.

Demands to leave a federation planet you chose to leave behind.
Demands to remove the Federation citizens of both Caldari and Gallente ethnicity from the world they call home.
Demands to leave it to a navy and leadership that were willing to FIRE A DOOMSDAY WEAPON at the planet less than 24 hours ago.

This, Still. From a people who were fine with my homeworld being auctioned off to their megacorporations as nothing more than an asset, with no care for the population.

And you have the nerve to call the Federation the bad guys in all this.
They have a legitimate claim to all of Luminaire.
You have NO claim to Intaki.

I've said it before, and I'll likely have to say it again.
Wash your own hands before you point fingers.
