DUST Search - My Fellow Gallente: To Victory against the Caldari!

Let me just say that though we may be at war (again) I respect you and your government's reasons for starting it.

All those years ago when we were technically a part of the federation and shared home planets in the same solar system, we crossed a line by refusing to pay taxes on deep space colonies that might have been accidentally left off the agenda for the monthly senate hearings. I think all of us Caldari can agree that getting caught perpetrating tax evasion is a serious taboo. Why, our accountants would hang their own grandmothers if they failed to declare a gift on their yearly income tax, so we shouldn't expect special treatment.

Our corporate "government" broke a law, and what's more had the gall to demand a little independence, and by golly you took action. While some of the whiny college professor types might say blockading our home planet and bombing the absolute **** out of it with nukes may have been a disproportionate response, it got RESULTS!

By forcing us to evacuate massive portions of our civilian population from our own home planet while our military sacrificed itself in a series of desperate suicide missions in order to prevent our genocide, you made an example out of us. People will think twice before ever failing to report assets to the Federation Revenue Service!

I seriously can not think of a more bureaucratic reason to start a war, it almost brings a tear to my eye.

What possible reason could the separate military power be created when all of the know races were on good terms? To police our own colonies. If we used Federation forces then it wouldn't have been a secret would it? Furthermore, that is a baseless assumption. There was never any intent to rebel against the Federation, and history (read:lore) will prove me right. See for yourself in the Chronicles. What is the point of it bring a secret?no matter how well you defend it independently it would be better defended by the federation fleet. Secrets are a sign of betrayal no matter how you say it. Ignoring your actions would have been a great lapse in judgment equivalent to ignoring a potential terrorist attack We had no obligation to tell you about them. We were building them before we joined the Federation and there was no question then. It was our business. I'll provide you with two facts: Shortly after jump gate technology was jointly discovered by the Gallente and the Caldari a little over five hundred years before the Federation formed, the Caldari corporations had started their own interstellar surveying and colonization, separate from that conducted by the Gallente. It was these colonies, kept as a secret from the Gallenteans, that became the source of friction between the Gallenteans and the Caldari, culminating in the latterGÇÖs defection from the Federation and an ensuing war between the two races. 500 years before. And culturally, our people believe in minding our own business. Your people meddle with everything. Therefore, the Caldari view slavery as a misguided notion that does more harm to an economy (and thus a proper society) than good. However, the Caldari also consider the affairs of other nations their own business, as long as it does no direct harm to the State. As a result, the Caldari find no difficulty in being allied with the Amarr Empire and Khanid Kingdom. They may believe those nations would serve as better trading partners should they abolish slavery, but they wouldn't presume to meddle with their society. Furthermore, a few of our extremists blow up a dome. How you respond?! With orbital bombardment of our homeworld! Billions were effected, millions were evacuated. That's like going thermonuclear on an island nation for killing a few of your citizens. The response was way out of line, and you didn't even give the Caldari time to investigate and find the criminals responsible. You just immediately launched into a war, orbital bombardment, and planetary invasion. Your people should be ashamed. Following the attack on Nouvelle Rouvenor an extreme right-wing government grabbed the power reigns in the Gallente Federation and advocated a harsh response: bombing Caldari Prime and sending in troops to take control of the planet. Those within the Federation believing that peace talks should be initiated instead of an invasion didnGÇÖt dare speak up for fear of being branded cowards or, worse, traitors; the Gallente war machine grinded into gear. It soon became obvious that it was a question of when, not if, the Gallenteans would take full control of the planet. The newly formed Caldari government, led by the heads of the Corporations, was far from being in full agreement as to what the correct course of action was. This disagreement, which severely hampered the Caldari State in following a coherent strategy, was only settled after the Morning of Reasoning, when the six most militant Corporations jointly ousted the other CEOGÇÖs from power. The Caldari saw that it was impossible to try to fight the much larger Gallente Federation for control of Caldari Prime. Instead, they started devising a plan to evacuate the Caldari population on the planet.

I really think each side has a thought of who was right and who was wrong. People who support the federation thinks the Caldari started the war by separating from us. There really is no need to overreact as if this really happened in real life. Edit: LARP is kind of a misnomer since it denotes live action. Rather, this is just plain RPing. Sorry for the confusion. C'mon bro you've never heard of [LA]RPing? It's for effect man. =\ gonna call you Buzz Killington from now on. Also, if I may respond to your other point, your people started the conflict but attempted to wrest control of our colonies away from us that we had rightfully built before we ever joined the Federation: Shortly after jump gate technology was jointly discovered by the Gallente and the Caldari a little over five hundred years before the Federation formed, the Caldari corporations had started their own interstellar surveying and colonization, separate from that conducted by the Gallente. It was these colonies, kept as a secret from the Gallenteans, that became the source of friction between the Gallenteans and the Caldari, culminating in the latterGÇÖs defection from the Federation and an ensuing war between the two races. It all started when a Gallente exploration ship happened upon one of the hidden Caldari colonies. When the Federation Senate learned of this they demanded a full-scale investigation into the matter and that all hidden Caldari colonies should immediately been put under Federation authority. This was too much for the Caldari Corporations, which were already grumbling over increasing Federation interference into their affairs. For the Caldari it was a simple question of losing their autonomy forever by caving in or making a stand right then and there. They decided to make a stand.
