In the Gal-Matar, Cal-Amarr sense, not the player sense.

From my limited understanding of the lore, the Gallente and Amarr have been at loggerheads since they met each other.

The Caldari and Gallente have been at war for centuries.

Why is the general political situation of New Eden so stagnant?

I would have liked to see, for example, even somewhere in the lore, a place where the Caldari and Gallente had even a temporary ceasefire and worked together against, say, the Amarr. Who may or may not have been involved with the Minmatar in a less shackles-and-chains sense.
Now, I don't mean that New Eden should suddenly become lovey-dovey and full of 'carebears', but hat the political situations in each empire are so stagnant?

I just reread Empyrean Age and Templar One (don't ask me why. I regret it already) and it seems that each faction has it's own organisation, either official or otherwise, that is psychopathically hell-bent on the utter ruin of their opposition. (e.g. Templis Dragonaurs)

Why is there no opposite faction, for example?

Why are there so few actually and actively committed to military peace in New Eden? In a real sense, not in an 'Emperor Heideran' sense - despite his good wishes Amarr are still in a cataclysmic war with the Minmatar.

I don't buy that.

I can't think of any point in actual history where a civilisation has been so utterly set against another. Ever.

I can't see how such a situation could exist. Eventually, universally, something breaks. One side loses its drive, or both. One side overwhelms the other, or a peace occurs.

But it doesn't seem like that's the case in New Eden.

Am I missing something? Or are the loremasters of EVE just bad writers?

Its not so simply as one side allying with another Lorhak.

If any one side makes a move or play it is not just a matter of retuning things to normal a few month later......... even the single slightest political shift in power that gives one Empire more of less power, and an opportune moment to use it would trigger a massive cluster wide conflict that could rage of decades.......and in the midst if that kind of chaos......who else would take advantage.

The main point I am trying to make is that there is no benefit to inciting such a conflict......it would drag out for a long time.....and what would be left?

Could one Empire garner enough power to ensure their victory? No....no they could not.
