Oops. The US Revolution was against Britain my friend, the US Civil War was between the Union and the Confederacy where the Union forced the Confederacy back into the Union. Basically, the Federation wants to force the Caldari (read: confederates) back into the Federation (read: union).

I'm not saying it's 100% analogous but it's close.

I'm not sure what you mean by homophobic war though?

Edit: Okay.. now I've got the right quote.. >.<



These kinds of mistakes happen when you're trying to split attention between homework, posting.. and want for sleep. >.<;;

double Edit: No wait.. wrong quote.. what am I posting ???.. >>.....<<
Have to re-read through the text now.

Clearly the Caldari are a selfish people, willing to throw the entire Gallente social structure into turmoil for the sake of their precious profits. My brothers and sisters, take no pity on these people, for they have chosen to stand against all that we hold dear. Their corporate claws my have dug deep into our people as they fled from the homes that we worked so hard to provide for them, but we will show them what it means to cross us, to put our great society at risk with their petty squables

My fellow Gallenteans!! Stand up for what is right!! Stand up for true freedom, not a dictatorship that twists information and lies for its own political gains!!! The Caldari state must not be allowed to continue to put our people at risk, they must be stopped at all costs!!

Rest easy tonight my friends, for war is soon at hand!!

You claim that your acts were just but instead of seeking new sysyems, you yook part of ours. All caldari are just thieves looking for a profit. Wait why didn't i choose caldari? (Minus the thief part)

I'm not sure what you mean by homophobic war though?

Okay so, basically what this is saying is that two nations developed on entirely different planets. These are entire planets by the way.. and they share population and gene pools on a daily basis... similar to countries in Europe.

Being that they are ENTIRE PLANETS one would assume that there would be about 20+ different races amongst each planet before they regained their intestellar technology. (cause lore states they lost technology when the wormhole collapsed I believe).... which I just made a point for myself to go read up on the earth chronicles...

... joy.. *sigh*

When a game gets too much lore, it becomes a major headache to talk about.

Anyway... either they have been purging their populations on a regular basis to keep only "one race" originating from each planet, or they're doing something to all the other minorities... oh wait.. I think there were like... Four minorities left on Gallente Prime right?

Not to mention that there is an entire planetary void between the planets that can act like a massive enviro-political barrier. Countries on Earth could be decisively separated by something as simple as a river, and live peacefully next to each other.. but here.. hundreds of thousands of miles is "too close"... :/

Curse your propaganda Caldari Rebel!

Unfortunately you're clearly misunderstanding a lot of the lore.

The Intaki and Mannar don't live on Gallente Prime, they have their own homeworlds.

Two separate planets joined in a Federation, like the northern and southern states. They may as well have been two separate planets what with slavery and what not. The south left the union and the north forced the south back into the union. The gallente are doing the same, but they don't even have the moral justification of slavery.

Homophobic means anti-gay friend: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homophobia

Genocide is not something the Caldari partake in. Your Gallente homeworld bombarded and invaded our homeworld committing genocide of millions of our own people to maintain control. Your people murdered ours on our own homeworld.

Jump drive technology was rediscovered jointly by both efforts between the Gallente and the Caldari about 500 years before the start of the Caldari-Gallente war:

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.

Don't listen to their corporate propaganda my friends!! The Caldari are a corrupt and militant people, violent beyond measure and ruthless without compassion. Yes, it is true, the Gallente federation did set up a blockade around Caldari Prime, but this was merely a precaution as peace negotiations were under way. Unable to abide by civilized rule, the Caldari took it upon themselves to engage in acts of gorilla warfare, sabatoging our defenses in a barbaric display of hethanism.

To make matters worse, a large portion of our brothers and sisters were trapped on Caldari prime, at the mercy of these barbaric people.

"The turning point came when Caldari partisans sabotaged the glass dome of the Gallente-inhabited underwater city Nouvelle Rouvenor. More than half a million perished. From then on a lengthy, bloody war between the two races was all but inevitable GÇô the Federation retaliated at once by sending an invasion force down to Caldari Prime and began a systematic orbital bombardment of the planet. "

These people have no morals, they are ruled by coin and coin alone. It is the Gallente that stand for freedom, for democracy, for equality!! Justice shall prevail, the Gallente, shall prevail!!!

These people have sided with the Amarr, and actively support their vile slave trade. Many Caldari vessels have been seen transporting innocent civilians into Amarr slave pens, despite the States efforts to keep such involvement hidden. The Caldari are no friends of Freedom, they exist only to cause turmoil and despair in the cosmos, right alongside the evil Amarran Empire.

The Caldari should be grateful for our mercy, for our desire to welcome them back into the fold, despite their vast and atrocious crimes against humanity.

Until that day comes however, we will strike fear into their hearts as we march onward, crushing their tiny state beneath our heels. Nothing will stand in the way of true freedom, and we won't allow those militant dogs to corrupt any more innocent lives.

War is at hand my brothers and sisters, steel yourselves and prepare for combat!!!

(<3 race wars ^_^)

(This little bit of banter is making me love this game almost more than the gameplay itself >_<)

I used the wrong roots of the word. Homo refers to humanity's history, and somehow homophobia, the fear of humans became culturally known as a fear of gay/lesbian behavior... Xenophobia is what I meant to write.

I roughly calculate there being.. 6,000 years between the settling of Caldari/Gallente, and their first contact.

If minorities do not naturally exist on these planets the only explanation can be purging by both parties.

Another point of note is that within 50 years.. they went from faulty space travel to the creation of stargates. Imagine how that would be like on earth... to discover how to use horses, then about 4 years later build cars designed like those of today. Also of note.. the jump drive was developed AFTER they discovered the Intaki and Mannar... in other words they somehow managed commuication between planetary systems with nothing but basic thruster systems.... what?....

Then suddenly, after 300+ years of coexisting peace they decide that their neighbor is untrustworthy and has to have sanctions applied against them... yet again this feels faulty. That would be like the US suddenly placing embargos against Europe for attempting to send missionaries to Africa.. or something like that.
Countries with amicable relations for so long don't tend to go off the handle at one another like the lore says. :/

LOL It's fine, I just want Gallente players to understand what exactly they're doing. They're not freedom fighters. We, the Caldari, declared our independence... and you, the Gallente, are attempting to force us back into the Federation through either good or evil (read: by any means necessary).

We broke off from you like the US from Britain if you prefer to compare to the US revolution, though the US Civil War is more apt because we were technically a part of the Federation and involved in its governance whereas the US colonies had no say in governing therefore the Revolutionary War.

Still not sure what you mean by homophobic war.
