Intergalactic Summit

Early on in the Arek'jaalan Project, CONCORD issued a decree forbidding participating Capsuleers from prying into CONCORD's affairs within the Monalaz constellation. The members of Arek'jaalan agreed to abide by CONCORD's wishes and have by and large steered clear from then on.

While this was interesting, it was of limited interest to myself my comrades. That was until we more recently came across a second piece of information; that whatever has been going on in Monalaz was not simply a CONCORD affair. We heard rumour of Amarrian special ops forces alongside DED operatives.

Over the past week myself and a few of my Ushra'Khan brothers have mounted an investigation into Monalaz. After some searching we discovered some...curious information. CONCORD is indeed active within the Monalaz constellation, and they have been working closely with Amarrian special forces known as 'The Justicars'.

We have discovered multiple sites of activity and found that this 'Operation ISHAEKA' is adept at relocating operations swiftly upon discovery. And at covering their tracks. On the evening of January 6th, a three ship strike team consisting of myself, StarCasher and Marus Sulla penetrated the
outer defences of this clandestine facility within the Access system and engaged the Imperial 'Justicar' forces there. The CONCORD units immediately joined the engagement alongside their Amarrian wingmen.

We pushed on deeper inside the deadspace pocket to discover a fleet staging area protecting entrance to a Justicar Archive. As the local forces moved to engage us, the base commander broadcast the following message, clearly enacting a well-rehearsed emergency doctrine;



Once we had fought our way past the DED vessels, we found the now-purged archives and another contingent of Justicar vessels. And with them, the Monalaz Commander himself, piloting nothing less than an Imperial Issue Apocalypse, a vessel only gifted to the most favoured of the Empire.

I put it to the summit that an Amarrian military unit is intrinsically involved in, and possibly even directing, the execution of a CONCORD DED operation. It is now over a year since we protested CONCORD's Amarrian bias in Yulai, and now over three years since Ambassador Keitan Yun's historic address before the CONCORD Assembly. What do we see today? Imperial forces covertly exerting undue influence upon DED operations.

We call upon CONCORD to explain the actions of its forces and the involvement of these 'Justicars' within the DED. Why are DED forces guarding an Amarrian facility? Why is the Commander of this facility apparently an Imperial officer?

We call upon the Tribes, the Republic, their representative in the CONCORD Assembly and the Capsuleer community to join us in pursuing answers to these questions.

Our eye shall remain upon CONCORD and upon those who would subvert its duty. A year ago the Ushra'Khan gathered in Yulai to make peaceful protest, but if needs be, we are prepared to take further direct action to shed light upon this impropriety.

We shall continue our investigations, and welcome any information on this matter. What is the DED going to such lengths to hide from us in Monalaz?

Congratulations on destroying one of the few remaining task forces set up by CONCORD to help put a stop to the sansha incursions into empire space. You should feel very proud in killing officers who had put there lives on the line to help protect the inocent people of all the empires. The reason for CONCORD working with Amarrian special forces is because sansha has been conducting opperations in the systems around the eve gate system. As you know these systems are in AMARR controled space. It was only logical that CONCORD work with the empire to help put a stop to Nation activities in the area.

Ushra’Khan should be slightly more carful about killing officers of the law if they know what is good for them.

((On an OOC point if you travell to the monalaz system via hi-sec you get a neocom message telling you about this. im not sure you get this message in low sec.))

The 'law' as you put it has been adding to their track record of displaying bias towards the Empire. If this is a CONCORD operation, why then does it appear to be under the command of Amarr? CONCORD is a supposedly neutral entity that is above the authority of any one government.

Can you point to a single comparable circumstance as this? Who are these Justicars, by whose authority are they acting and what grants them the protection of DED forces in a low sec area like this?

It is the capsuleers who are fighting the war against Sansha, and in all our recon flights of the area we detected no Sansha presence there. So what is really going on here?

Why sensible people are here trying to talk sense into hate-mongers, I'll never know.

Generally speaking, even if the people you speak to may never be convinced, if you continue to try you will invariably end up convincing other people who are quietly watching the whole thing.

As for the DED cooperation with the Justicars, it's already been said that as the area of operations is within Amarr territory it only makes sense to cooperate with Amarrian forces. If the DED brought in a detachment of Federation or Republic loyal forces then the DED would be responsible for any and all possible misdeeds that might occur. Now I'm not saying a Federation or a Republic loyal force would officially go off mission and attempt to disrupt Empire operations in the area, but even one misguided soldier can make for a heated diplomatic incident. The Justicars are being used simply because it is Amarrian space and the Justicars naturally have a vested interest in that space and it's people. They quite simply have one less possible cause for distraction.

Further the Justicars were part of the forces who went down to Stain. They were part of the force that has been dealing with renewed Sansha activity, and even low-level Sansha activity that the Empire has had to deal with since the Empires united against Nation originally. They are the people who are, under the circumstances, right for the job. Would you rather call in a different unit with little or no experience dealing with the Sansha? That wouldn't exactly be sound tactical thinking.

its actualy in low sec but i completly agree with you.

High security complex, not a high security system.

I'm not so sure that we're being told the full truth.

Its seems like this Matari gentlemen has made a little mistake in choosing his targets carefully.

Oh well done Ushra'Khan - it appears you've proved us all right, you are nothing more than terrorists with a distaste for law and order and a desire to see everyone enslaved by Mr. Kuvakei.

Blinded by your own ignorance and hatred.
