Intergalactic Summit

AN OPEN LETTER TO SANMATAR SHAKOR:

On March 10 of YC111, you issued a public statement that the Lakat-Hro Caravan was in fact destroyed during the events in SL-YBS on the day of the Seyllin Incident.

We now have been aware for several months that this is not in fact the case, as evidenced by the wreckage of the caravan's Hel supercarrier, defying all known wormhole physics relative to mass, that sits rotting in Thera, presumably destroyed by the massive burst that shattered that system's planet.

On behalf of my lost Thukker kin as well as the scientists of Minmatar heritage throughout New Eden and beyond, I ask you and the Tribal Council to answer to the Tribes and the scientific community working alongside the many tribal organizations, and tell us the rest of what is known about the fate of the Lakat-Hro caravan.


Rhavas

Clan Idisen have enjoyed a kinship with a number of the Thukker caravans that pass through the Heath to and from the Wildlands. We admire their courage and vision as they answer the Vasty Dark's enigmatic call.

However, the inconsistency of the Lakat-Hro account highlighted here by pilot Rhavas, one supported by the data aggregation utility of the Neocom, gives us cause for concern with respect to our intrepid cousins.

Sadly, due in part to the unexpected loss of Tribal Council delegates Fredur Holgeli and Muska Kaltash, we must send our seconds of entreaty directly to the Vherokior tribal council in an attempt to solicit clarification from the Sanmatar. So it is done.

We hope that other clans who wish to facilitate inter-tribal amity will likewise support the Caravans, and I wish to acknowledge Rhavas personally for bringing this matter to light.

Spirits keep the Tribes.

Of course, it obviously cares enough to write up some kind of an explanation that doesn't defy raw evidence pilots Rhavas and Nissui have mentioned here already.



What binds the Republic? Apparently, merely an empty no-questions-asked propaganda doctrine.

This has nothing to do with the Thukker Chieftain, and everything to do with the Sanmatar's statement. The fact of the matter is that the caravan was NOT destroyed in the Seyllin Incident. It survived.

So why did Sanmatar Shakor say it had been destroyed? Either he misled with insufficient information and poor investigation, or he lied, whatever his purpose may have been.

I would, of course, accept Chieftain Aeboul's statement in lieu of Sanmatar Shakor's.

Just because the wreckage of the super-carrier involved has been found does not mean there were survivors. It's just as possible that they were all killed and the wormhole brought a portion of the wreckage to Thera. Given what we know regarding mass limits, this seems likely to me. I have no idea why Shakor hasn't said anything, maybe he's embarassed?

What I think is interesting is the SoE presence in Thera. If there were survivors of this caravan, why wouldn't a self-proclaimed humanitarian organization announce anything?

I just saw this come across the feed. It seems you have your answer. From The Scope no less.


I was hoping for more from the Sanmatar. The final hours of the Lakat-Hro caravan must be accounted for, if there is ever to be peace for our brothers and sisters. And justice taken from the hides and hulls of those responsible for the disaster that took them from us.
