So, I want to clarify: CONCORD is entirely made up of mortals?

Also, where does their vastly superior technology come from? The Jove?

Even if the Amarr manage to beat off the drifters, they won't do so easily. They'll be as weakened as they would be coming out of an all-out war against the minmatar or gallente, only in this case, the minmatar and gallente will still be ready to jump on them.

The Gallente are an incredibly meddlesome Empire. They on a fundamental level are very open about what they desire [aka a cultural take over of the Caldari State] using the claim that they are defending the rights of the Caldari citizenry.

You're biased as heck.

Caldari were content to belong to the Federation, a government they helped to found.

Wrong wrong wrong. They were a permanent minority in the federation, they were out 'voted' on anything they should have had a reasonable choice about.

...but for the unaffiliated voter (magpies), all political groups are minorities in the Federation. That's why somewhat reliable blocs like Minmatar immigrants are so disruptive in Gallente politics.

Until Nouvelle Rouvenor the Gallente-Caldari War wasn't even much of a war. The Caldari were content to blockade Luminaire and the Gallente to squabble amongst themselves about how to end the conflict. Hardly the hallmark of the antagonistic narrative being spun itt.

The capsuleers answer to concord. Though concord has become sort of like a 'united nations' of sorts and tries to prevent or resolve hostilities between empires (that involve immortals).

Jovians = Never lost the majority of their technology, but they shy away from other empires because reasons.

Amarr = Largest empire, they were the first to rediscover space flight and promptly went about conquering the stars, a lot of their aggression got smacked out of them by the jove. They have easily the largest number of ships in their fleet, but they run on older technology (amarr tend to prefer a 'tried and true' method).

Gallente = Second largest empire, they are quite meddlesome and they essentially force themselves on other sovereign nations ("don't you want to be free and cultured?), they dragged the caldari kicking and screaming into the federation... where the caldari were a permanent minority and were outvoted by the gallente on everything concerning the caldari. They tend to consider their way to be the only right way, despite plenty of evidence otherwise. They also have a pretty staggeringly large military, but it can be bogged down by bureaucracy.

Minmatar = Second smallest empire, they have a lot of issues within the republic which has caused some tribes to outright leave *and* tell the gallente to **** off, a vast majority of their population is still enslaved by the amarr. the republic itself tends to get along well with the gallente because they are a pet project of the gallente ("Oh no, how dare those amarr impinge upon others freedom). The actual military of the republic is somewhat small, but well suited to rapid response and hard hitting skirmishes... the military of the tribes that have left the republic is astonishingly large.

Caldari = Smallest empire and the most militant, grew up on a harsh world where the group came before the individual and they had to fight damn hard to free themselves from the gallente who spent quite a bit of time looking down on them / dictating to them. Caldari are in a pragmatic alliance with the Amarr, but they really get along well with and respect the khanid. The caldari navy, despite being one of (if not the) smallest navies is arguably the strongest, running with incredibly advanced technology and supreme range, they tend to resort to a lot of fighters or to incredibly long range doctrines supported by massive amounts of electronic warfare - they have held their own against bigger and 'stronger' forces plenty of times.

Each of the races is independently governed in their own style and manner, and all of them have a seat of representatives in the CONCORD agency to 'protect' themselves from the growing power of immortals.

All the factions are grey raven. The gallente do just as many horrible things in the name of 'freedom' as the amarr do in the name of religion.

True and Yassavi are perhaps the biggest brains when it comes to Our lore, at least in DUST. It is hard to argue with their knowledge.

I have recently been studying lore and the chronicles since I have not been playing the game much. Maybe one day, you guys will see a not so troll VAHZZ. Or i will just make an alt....Which will most likely be Amarr.

Note: How have I not been accused of being 'Pro-Gallente' or 'Pro-Caldari' yet? I have history of both, but neither have been accused of me.

Ironically it's very easy to put a number of the Gallenteans who died during this chaos.....but not the Caldari who were killed during the planetary bombardment.

I believe it was a number of something like >70% never made it off of caldari prime during the bombings. I mean, the caldari had to resort to several generations of tube children raised in corporate creches just to have some semblance of a population.
