LUMINAIRE GÇô Arcurio stood silent this evening as administration staff from Material Acquisition and the Ishukone Corporation unveiled a monument honoring lives lost one year ago today.
The structure, a 120 meter long, 6 meter high section of titanium diborite armor plating from the hull of the Leviathan class titan CN Shiigeru, standing on a solid base carved from granite sourced from the Kaalakiota mountain range - resides in District 24 of the city, the area in which former Caldari Navy Admiral Visera Yanala was born and raised.
After the monument was unveiled, a number of political figures including Ishukone CEO Mens Reppola, Gallente President Jacus Roden, and Federation Navy Grand Admiral Anteson Ranchel, took to the podium to offer moving tributes for casualties in a conflict that saw the largest deployment of armed forces by the State and Federal militaries since the end of the Caldari-Gallente war in YC12.
The unveiling ceremony ended with a two minute silence, and was brought to a close by the voice of Reppola, reciting the simple dedication message inscribed alongside the service numbers of every known military casualty of Operation Highlander from both the Federal and State armed forces in traditional Raata script.
In remembrance of those who gave their lives to ensure the well-being of those they swore an oath to protect. The citizens of Arcurio remain eternally grateful for your sacrifice.

I have visited this monument and recollected all the lives lost in this battle. So many Loyal Caldari and Gallenteans died for their people. I gave a light bow and continued on gazing upon this masterpiece.

hmm... i still wonder if Sgt. Pilum and the rest of the 72nd marines survived Caldari prime that day, i may have to pay a visit to the monument.
But its been a while since I last visited Caldari prime and even then, those days were the most terrifying in all my life. |

A friend of mine spent the weekend on Prime just to witness the event. He had friends on that titan.

The speech from Mens Reppola was especially moving. For a Caldari, he seemed to really care about wanting peace for everyone on Caldari Prime, not just the Caldari themselves.
I will say, however, that he'll probably come under fire for this from the west of the rest of the megacorps. |
