DUST Search - I-RED Deploys to Defend Ishukone Assets from 'Invasive Federation Elements'

Let us start with this bit of information:

Quote:
Mordu signed a deal with the Intaki assembly, where they were auctioned the S&S franchise for the Intaki system. FDU members attacking Mordu forces in their legal mission in Intaki are therefore breaching federal law and stepping on a Federation signatory jurisdiction.

Quote:
Ishukone Corp is the legal holder of the Intaki S&S franchise. Attacking them is therefore attacking a Federation signatory member.

I believe our Executor summed it up well in his response to a very similar charge:

Add in the new role capsuleers are playing in bombarding these planets (many of which are inhabited, and it should be noted the Intaki have voiced several concerns against the use of Orbital Weapons against populated planets) and you can see why we are concerned with the safety of Ishukone-Raata assets, along with Ishukone's and/or the IntakiGÇÖs planetary interests. It must be noted that while planetary and orbital security will be our primary directive, Ishukone-Raata will not hesitate to engage any and all elements that wish to interfere with these operations as should be expected.

Or does it lump peaceful trade missions between Intaki Prime and High Security Gallente space as "border incursions?" Are the Megacorporations so afraid of competition that they're firing on unarmed merchant ships now?

Mordu's Legion has a history of active opposition to the Gallente Federation, as well as the Caldari State, and is recognized by CONCORD as a potentially dangerous organization, even at the best of times. Any action taken against them on what is recognized as Gallente Sov (Which at the time of the actions in question, it was) is no more than a move to further secure the borders of the Federation against unlawful penetration. Do not forget that, during the course of Federation infiltration of Caldari, the State was being controlled by a madman and a tyrant. Your own Megacorporation tried to have as little to do with Heth as possible, and were one of the first to call for his dismissal and elimination of the office of State Executor as a legitimate position within the State's hierarchy. Or did you forget your own history? The Federation acted in her own defense, seeking to prevent another surprise assault on our borders and the raising of another "Shield" around a world so close to our home. This smacks of nothing more than an attempt to seize more Federation soil from its rightful owners: the Intaki. As previously stated, the Intaki government wishes to remain with the Federation, and to continue and expand trade between our worlds. Your actions seem to be nothing more than an attempt to stifle this, and replace it with trade from your Megacorporation, despite the fact that, at the present time, there is little to no significant Caldari or Ishukone military presence within Intaki space.

And before you comment on Heth, for good or ill, you must understand what kind of cultural shift his tenure as the leader of the State caused. That being a return to the traditionalist roots of meritocracy and megacorporate power. That alone is more than enough to have ensured his legacy. Eitherway Heth has nothing to do with Ishukones actions, your attempts to bulrush and buzzword the credibility of the State is worthless. I find your first point hard to believe, due to the Intaki having joined the Federation peacefully and willingly centuries ago, and currently participate actively in the Federation's power structure, most notably as politicians and diplomats to the other factions of New Eden. Before you go making outrageous claims, try finding support for them. Second, I'm well aware of the cultural shift Tibus Heth represents for the Caldari. But I do not agree with your assertion that he has nothing to do with this discussion. His unwarranted invasion of Gallente Sov for the purposes of "reclaiming" Caldari Prime, his installation of a Titan in the Gallente home system of Luminaire, his usage of Gallente citizens on Caldari Prime as human shields for negotiating purposes, all are seen by my people as unnecessarily aggressive actions, bits of revenge taken for a war which was fought a century ago. This was the man who the Senate wanted to guard against with their "illegal" border incursions, no more noble than what Heth did to us, but much less destructive in nature. My argument is that Heth made those actions necessary. I don't doubt his importance to the Caldari, but his outright warmongering attitude towards the Gallente cannot be overstated. This farce of "securing" Intaki space is essentially amounting to actions which were taken by Gallente during a five year state of emergency, where our own homeworld and people were under the gun of a madman. I can't pretend that infiltrating Caldari space wasn't underhanded, but Ishukone should be reminded that the current political climate is much less tense than it was even six months ago. Making a militaristic move of this nature is a return to the outdated politics and brinkmanship I thought had been ousted along with Heth's Provist regime. I guess I was mistaken.

And the fact that it is good and working is why we are doing what we are doing. Originally Mordu's Legion were the ones contracted to protect the surface of Intaki, but since their removal, and the decline of FDU forces (it goes without saying that they would deny regular State Protectorate forces as well) by the Intaki themselves, Ishukone and thus I-RED is tasked with filling the void. Not doing so would be to outright abandon the agreement made between our people. While this would financially wreck havoc on Ishukone's financial base, it would harm the Intaki significantly more. I still find it difficult to believe the Intaki people would decide that the Ishukone Irregulars are preferred to, say, Ishukone Watch, an organization actually accountable to the Megacorporation. Or, rather, Federal Marines, soldiers fighting for the government to whom the Intaki people currently fall under.

I-RED is being deployed because it is a capsuleer/immortal soldier threat, not a regular soldier/navy threat. Also, as was previously stated as well, the Intaki refused the protection of FDU forces in favor of their prior agreement with Ishukone. All of this is publicly documented. And if, say, the Intaki people wanted additional protection and requested a group affiliated with Gallente interests to step in as well, you'd, what exactly? Allow them to peacefully set up shop in the system?
