Well, Gallentean justice seems to be able to find its way to what looks at a glance like a good outcome.
A note to the Federation, however: the State has brought its fascist elements to heel (Provists) or reaffirmed their criminal status (Templis Dragonaurs). The Federation's Black Eagles, however, existed before Tibus Heth's reign, and continue to enjoy federal sanction despite apparently furthering the interests and beliefs of a certain hard-right political figure more than Federation policy.
Now, hate-filled fools are representing themselves as Black Eagles, and it hardly smells like slander-- more like fealty.
Perhaps some housecleaning is in order? |

The Black Eagles were founded as a direct result of the events of YC 110 when Heth invaded Luminaire to take back Caldari Prime. He was only able to accomplish this due to the treason of Admiral Etturer, whose selling of military secrets allowed the Caldari to bypass the Gallente early-warning system 'Tripwire'. The 'Black Eagles' are the internal investigations division of the Federal Intelligence Office (FIO). Yes, they may be shady bastards, but it pays to have one's facts straight 
Mm. Fair enough; I stand corrected. Perhaps it's more Mentas Blaque's political career I'm thinking of. Or perhaps the U-NATs.
Actually, the origins you correctly point to (now that I take the time to brush up on my recent history-- memories are odd things) make them more disturbing rather than less. I hadn't realized that their powers were quite so ... sweeping. It's the sort of thing we in the State take for granted, but it seems sort of corrosive for a democracy. Also, they seem to have been introduced in reaction to a perceived catastrophe. That's sort of a dangerous time for democracies; just ask the Federal government at the time of Nouvelle Rouvenor. The impulse seems to be to undercut your cultural values for the sake of greater security.
The meritocratic/oligarchical Caldari State is built to protect the cultural integrity of its peoples, including from the whims of the public. A democracy, however, is subject to the winds of public opinion, which can be driven to operatic heights of folly by any severe shock.
It's understandable, certainly, but it does seem to make monsters. |

Any and all actions that the SDII partake in are initiated on the basis of furthering the sovereignty of the Gallante Federation.
That's what the Templis Dragonaurs claim to be to the Caldari: a force protecting Caldari sovereignty. If they take it farther than the State itself is willing to, well, that's just because the State doesn't see the true danger foreigners pose. Fae-haan may have a certain nostalgia for a cause he once believed in, but an ethnic Achur living as a Caldari citizen has a lot to fear from these sorts of fools.
Each society has its bitter, hateful shadows, soldier. The Caldari State's just shaken its off, for the moment. It seems like the Federation's still wrestling with its own. |
