Intergalactic Summit

To be fair, I think it was the novelty of the thing that kicked all that off, Valerie - and the long term consequences proved to be based entirely outside of the warzone, itself, in both cases. These days I would be very surprised if one side or the other seizing control of the warzone led to anything - I understand that a shiny medal is unlikely to even result, these days.

Let's be honest, I can see some participants using the guarantee of a medal to justify being part of the conquest of all four sections of the warzone in quick rotation...

Well said. That and the large number of warp core stabs...

Those campaigns, especially Houla, ran very smoothly from my point of view. There were plenty of things for us to be proud of, but where were CVA? Where were other groups who jumped in in the end last time? PIE was basically held up in Arzad for the latter half of this push it seemed. As you put, Siege Green moved on. Plenty to be proud of, not a lot to defend the systems it seemed. Pirates, while many being friendly to the 24IC aren't able to fight all their battles. Thats been proven I guess?

I have to agree with that. I found myself questioning my own tactics fighting some of your newer recruits than your old guard rather frequently. Whether it was Sillyak a few days ago or a few others in the past week I'm drawing a blank on specific names, A lot of the fights with your newer faces have been interesting.

Well there's a fa... there's a hood I haven't seen in a long time. How did that Civil War of yours turn out?

They are definitely rather busy on their primary front. My prayers are with them against the barbarians.

Well that was a given, but there's entertainment value to be had you know?

Well, I believe his attack on PIE involved all of two destroyer fights and a frigate engagement. We won the destroyer fights and lost the frigate engagement.

So, much ado about nothing?

Satisfactory or not will depend solely on person's perspective, certain entities are not part of militia any longer so there is that.

To know the reason of this, one has to keep in mind that the Caldari/Gallente conflict is different to the Amarr/Minmatar conflict, both in reason as in objectives.

Originally, the Caldari/Gallente conflict was a more classic military campaign, with goals to take & hold Gallente worlds, while the Gallente defended themselves from this unusual Caldari aggression.
The Caldari managed to complete this objective, controlling the entirety of the Caldari/Gallente warzone for a good time, with the take & hold and the subsequent auction of Intaki Prime as the largest headline, among other auctions. (The Intaki Prime auction was won by Ishukone

When the Gallente counter-attack began, their objective was clear as well, cut off all the resources from the warzone in order to be able to launch a successful attack on Caldari Prime & remove the threat that was the Caldari Titan in the shared homesystem.

Both sides now completed their objectives & the Caldari/Gallente war now became more a conflict on resources & border conflicts.


The Amarr/Minmatar conflict on the other hand focuses less on territory & planets, but more on a clash of cultures that cannot coexist. The Minmatar wage war to free their kin still enslaved by the Empire, while the Amarr push aggressively to extend the border buffer to provide enhanced security for the Empire & it's people.
No specific worlds to liberate, no direct threats to be quelled. At most there's certain symbolic places to take & hold, either because they are sacred ground for the Amarr or hold significance to the Matari tribes.

So when either side takes complete control in the Amarr/Minmatar warzone, it's not likely anything major will happen by the ruling goàverments. What will likely happen however is that the victorious side will grow bold & launches raiding parties/punishment expeditions into the other nation to press on/signify their victory.
This did happen before, mainly under capsuleer authorites however.

So in this particular case? Expect Minmatar raiding parties into deep parts of the Empire once more, in an attempt to liberate Minmatar slaves held there.
