Intergalactic Summit

With the sudden influx of capsuleers, and of returning spacers, I believe it may be useful to have a roll call of sorts to introduce ourselves and give everyone a brief introduction. So take a little time and show yourself to New Eden!

Hi there, I am Chief Warrant Officer (CWO4) Karina Ivanovich. I was born of mixed Caldari and Matari heritage but have chosen to follow my father's footsteps in service to the Caldari State. My main role for the state is as an electronic warfare technician and advisor, specializing in electronic countermeasures also known as ECM. I am in charge of training and education of aspiring Naval technicians, and as such have some leadership training.

While not actively discharging my duties I spend my time outsourcing my expertise to Pandemic Horde Incorporated, a capsuleer alliance currently trying to take back the Fade region from both The Imperium and Serpentis operators.

It is a pleasure to meet all of you, and I look forward to some great conversations in the future. Even those of you that call the federation home.

I'm Jason Galente, of no particular rank or title. Born of a Brutor mother who served in the Tribal Liberation Force after being freed from slavery herself, and a Gallentean father who was a professor of Philosophy at the University of Caille campus in orbit around Bourynes VII. I grew up very poor after my father, Cato, went missing when I was very young and was never found.

I am an economist and philosopher by education, mining technician by post-collegiate training and combat pilot by volition. I have dedicated my life to the pursuit of martial prowess (both inside and outside of the capsule), and enlightenment, in equal measure.

In my early days as a capsuleer, I became a model to pay off my Caille student loans, qualifying as a contestant in Season 2 of "New Eden's Next Top Model", hosted by the infamous Sani Sabik, Revan Neferis. During this time, I learned that the industry was controlled by equal parts gay Gallentean men and bitter, cunning Sani Sabik women who were quite fond of fetishes. Yeah, it was bizarre. I ended up at war with one judge and three contestants before the preliminaries were over, and was assassinated at the host's request for a rather small slight, the payment for which (paid to another contestant) was a fully fitted Chimera-class carrier. Impressed with the whole ordeal, I decided to join this capsuleer and was mentored by him for a period of nearly a year. I ended up retiring for four years due to a personal crisis of faith, leading to a desire to be free to contemplate life's greatest questions, and re-evaluate my priorities in life.

Currently, I am a militiaman in the Fade Standing Fleet and an auxiliary in the Entosis Fleets for Pandemic Horde, and aspire to become a fleet commander soon in the fight against tyranny in the North. My combat specialization is in interceptors, tactical destroyers, and battlecruisers, with an emphasis on engineering and propulsion skills. When I am not fighting in the war, I am often studying strategy, markets, fleet tactics and logistics, and history. I am starting a new colonial venture in the largely empty but resource-dense planets of Fade and Querious soon, aiming to produce nanites, advanced robotics, drones, and cybernetics, while providing industrial and commercial opportunities to thousands seeking to leave empyrean space for new opportunities and liberty from over-bearing governments.

I am also Head Shitposter at the weekly TL;DR.

A pleasure.


TL;DR: I'm a Gallentean-Brutor heretic anarchist thug capitalist warmonger pretty boy who thinks he is funny.

What's up Kids, Omega Jovakko here, I was born to a small family of proud, stinky miners, I grew up with a pretty decent education and got into science to get away from the debris and unruliness. Proudly graduated with honors in the field of Electronic system management and AI implementation. During my tenure as a citizen in the Caldari military I spent some time on a couple carriers working on their Subsystems, basically making sure they didn't swallow their tongues while I was on break.
I currently am enlisted with the CCDM as a Frigate pilot, soon my request to be transferred to their Stealth Bomber division will go answered.

When not on duty, however, I mainly read up on the current news and try to stay informed as to what we're supposed to look out for next. I also like coming to IGS and harassing friends. Oh, and drink, I do that too and it's delicious. If you ever need a chat go ahead and hit me up, I'll be more than happy to oblige

I am Elmund Egivand. I am currently playing Murky Conscience III.

I'm Thibalt Moray, Callsign: "Rook."

I was born thirty years ago on an exploration ship in Venal.

I should say, I was reborn on that ship...I used to develop Drones.....but that's another life.

My family returned to Intaki and I spent the second half of my childhood there. Anyone who knows recent history knows that Intaki has been a hotbed of turmoil. My family joined the movement to free Intaki from both Federation and State control, but In the third month of YC 111, Federation forces in the Intaki system fell to the State Protectorate. Things got bad, fast. What family I had left, lost their lives in the occupation.

Family friends, however stepped in. They recognized something in the kid I was and put me into the University of Callie. I scored well, probably touching on the brains of a former life. Those friends were hooked up, not with the Syndicate, but with the Guristas. So I try to give back to those who helped...when I can.

I've worked In Intaki and Black Rise, ran my own "salvage op" for a bit, got bored.

Now I'm hooked up with the Horde, living in Fade and having the time of my life. But I keep to the roots of Venal and Intaki and I'm learning more every day about who I used to be and who I'm going to become.

Overdosing every day on life itself.

[Very well, since Maria lodged an unexpectedly vehement protest against the post formerly in this place, I shall retract it. For now.]

Aria Jenneth. I'm....

Well, I used to be kind of a wandering writer. Before that, I was ... not a very happy person. That's not a time I can remember, though. I'm an induced amnesiac-- sabotage, not voluntary; I'll just put that out there-- so in a certain sense I'm only a little over a year old. My former self was a strong Patriot faction supporter, among other things; I'm ... not. Actually, while I find politics really interesting I don't really align myself with any particular group, except by association. Historically, I've been kind of rootless; I've spent a lot of the time traveling and learning.

I've kept public journals, as I've gone. Some of the things I've learned along the way, though, are things I have mixed feelings about. I'm bad at holding grudges, and there's no one in the cluster I actually want dead, but I've never been one to make other people do dirty work while I keep my hands clean. And, it turns out that, like a lot of capsuleers, I am someone who can kill people, a little too easily, maybe. That's a lot of why I am where I am, now.

In SFRIM, I'm maybe kind of an odd person. My title in the Societas is Peregrinans, which means "traveler," but I seem to have put down roots here in the Empire. I'm neither a member of the Amarrian faith nor a part of the Legionarius program (I predate it), so I'm technically sort of a long-term guest. That's not really my whole status, though.

I've taken oath, sworn my service to Directrix Lunarisse Daphiti. In the most literal sense, I'm her servant, but that word doesn't quite capture the degree of it. It's the sort of employment agreement that's sealed in blood-- loyalty unto death (or one month's written notice). It's not something I entered into on a whim, and I do try to be worthy of the Directrix's trust. Sometimes that means flying with PIE against the TLF; sometimes it means flying with ARC against the Drifters. Occasionally it's meant a duel with Nauplius. The Directrix's daughter, Maria Daphiti, can beat him; I can't, or at least haven't yet.

That's a lot of who I am, right now. There's more, but it's more personal. I'm still curious to see new people and places, but, I'm a lot less of a vagabond than I was. I have a life to build, here, and a lot of work to do, building it.

Hi. My name is Shikhee and I'm from Sinq Laison. I like reading, shopping, and outdoor activities like mountain climbing. I don't have any tattoos, I guess that's weird for a minmatar. When my friend Drenna and I graduated from the Republic Military Academy we thought we'd take a couple of rifters to the Ammatar Mandate and be the best damn freedom fighters New Eden has ever seen. After a week of being chased off by real badasses, we realized that maybe we weren't cut out for that kind of life.

That was over eight years ago, since then I've traveled all over the cluster with my friends and my partner. I've worked in all four of the Empires and spent several years in Null Sec. I've made my fortune off of resource acquisition (moons, planets, asteroids, whatever), but I've also had the chance to be in a couple battles and that's exciting. Recently my partner and I were hired by Societas Imperialis Sceptri Coronaeque. Everyone has been really professional and nice, which is cool because we're not even Amarrians.

As a resident of Chaven in the Amarr empire I am Ashlar Maidstone, Project Lead for Operation; Shattered Glass with the esteemed organization of Signal Cartel. My education thru out the years gone by have been provided to me by the Theology Council, Royal Navy Academy and others, with a degree in various related fields of study to which I am still working on today.

My upbringing is rather faded and I don't remember much but, I am a proud capsuleer, qualified in industry and combat. My off time is spent in various activities that I enjoy, hiking, camping, enjoying life to the fullest every time I awaken to a new day.

Some of you may recall me, while others may not... this is for those willing to read, be they the former or latter.

My name is Yoshitaka Moromuo, son of the late Yamatoko and Osami Moromuo and born in YC 89. I lost my family in an attack on our courier shuttle in YC 104, and was a ward of the State until my entry into the School of Applied Knowledge's capsuleer training program later that year.

I launched my first corporation in YC 109, and published a treatise on non-exploitative business practices that year, to a mild reception. That corporation folded and merged into Lai Dai Infinity Systems in the following year, which saw an attempt to standardize the State Protectorate's supply lines in the Black Rise.

I remained with them for about a year, and left on positive terms to join Washington Mutual as their mining director. We soon joined the Ishuk-Raata Enforcement Directive, though the remainder of the corporate leadership left unannounced some time after for reasons unknown.

At that point, I had joined up with Distant Light Galactic, under the same alliance, and went from a line member to a director once more. A schism in the leadership, however, caused the corporation to split and leave a holding manager in place. I then joined Prophet Industries, in the same alliance, as a line member once more. It was during this period where, as many of us recall, Sansha's Nation once again emerged as a predominant threat to empire space; I willingly joined those investigating and acting against the precursors to the more recent incursions, operating with the loose outfit known as Project Bad Moon in efforts to destabilize the wormholes being used by the incursion fleets.

In YC 113, I returned to Distant Light Galactic to rebuild the corporation; as luck would have it, another corporation - The Dragon's Hoard - was composed of a number of prior members of the corporation, and a merger was quick to occur. This period also saw I-RED end up in war with the Wolfsbrigade, during which industrial operations became quite difficult; we had then departed the alliance, only to later find out that we had been infiltrated and many of our assets stolen by a sleeper operative from TEST Alliance. Shortly after, an old contact invited us to once again operate on the fringes of Providence, and we later saw admission to Apocalypse Now, one of the holder alliances. From there, I had joined Burning Skies - the executor corporation - after rebuilding proved nearly impossible, and later branched off with Organized-Research to form a new alliance as one of their diplomatic contacts. Leadership disagreements later caused this venture to fail as well.

I currently hold operational control of Distant Light Galactic, even if doing so only prevents its name from simply fading away into obscurity. I may take to the black ocean once more... but that's a discussion for another time.
