Intergalactic Summit

On Behalf of Ishuk-Raata Enforcement Directive, Office of Public Relations;

Ishuk-Raata Enforcement Directive remains committed to furthering the goals and aspirations of Ishukone in the border region of Syndicate. We would like to ensure our customers within Tri-Region State, Fourth District, Federal, and Syndicate territories that we will indeed stay the course as indicated by Chief Executive Mens Reppola.

However, the Ishuk-Raata Enforcement Directive would also like to stress the importance of cooperation with the Chief Executive Panel, and caution against any belligerent stance or attitudes taken when addressing concerns issued by the CEP. It is our belief that Cooperation should be the model of business when dealing with the CEP just as much as it is when dealing with the Federation.

Thank You and Best Regards,

I don't think that any of us who consider this suspicion to be unwarranted and wearisome are suggesting that the CEP should be defied or brushed off. Of course cooperation is the appropriate response.

It's also a response that shouldn't be needed in the first place.

With the best will in the world, you do not understand either the Caldari nor the Patriot bloc.

Fred, we all serve the State in our own way. I'm Liberal, Pieters Patriot, yet neither of us have ever truly questioned if the other was doing their part. We know better. What we have going on here is a matter of corporate culture clashing, and politicking boardroom seat warmers raising a fuss, not the Patriot bloc as a whole choosing their Okusaikan over the State.

While there are, and always will be, exceptions, I do think that the majority of the Patriot bloc, largely represented by the common men and women of the affiliated Okusaikan, put the State first. Don't take what happens in this cesspit to be representative of any one bloc of Caldari.

In regards to Ishukone, the facts speak for themselves. That's a matter far above my pay grade, but if one KK denizen can call an Ishie "kirjuun", then others can. It's a matter of individuals, below a certain level.

During the State Executor times there were a lot of cries for the CEP. Control and government through it would be just, necessary, and above all heiian.

No, that's unfair. Both serve the State, it's just that there are serious disagreements about how the State is best served.

Awful idea. They'd just kill all of them.

I mean, on an abstract level it'd be utterly hilarious and morbidly ironic for the State to wind up committing the exact same crime that caused them to form their own sovereign empire and hold a centuries-long grudge in the first place, but there's nothing funny about the savagery that would be inflicted on these hypothetical separatists.

Your understanding of history is critically flawed.

I have been doing my best to not comment on this topic, given the nature of employment as a Lai Dai subcontractor for Ishukone. I apologize if I'm unusually terse or cautious; it's entirely due to that fact.

Mr. Max, it isn't the history between our peoples that propagates this rift. It's the attitudes and beliefs behind statements such as those you have just made.

May Ishukone be a conduit to a lasting and just peace with the Gallente, for all Caldari.

Of course not, I would have preferred the Caldari and the Federation resolved their differences and remained together. Evacuation was the logical choice after all the pride and idiotic moves on both sides. I don't deny the Federation made some poor choices back then but at the same time I also know the Caldari are party to blame. Going into the Future both sides need to realise this and accept that peace is impossible if one side controls Caldari Prime. The opportunity we have now is the best that has ever presented itself.

My original point still stands however, calling the current situation a Federation occupation is wrong. It is administered between the two empires and policed by Mordu's Legion. In the past I can see it being seen as an occupation but at the same time after Caldari left the Federation had an abandoned world with a significant Gallente population - what would the state have done if the roles were reversed?

I don't care what the situation is but supporting what Toba and Noir did is wrong and if you support the actions of one you support the actions of the other. In both cases they targeted civilians and if you really want to stoop to that level I'm sure Sansha or the Blood Raiders would happily take you in.
