Ishukone-Raata Release: Syndicate Stability Initiative IIGäó
>> Syndicate Region | JQV5-9 Constellation | 98Q-8O System >> 98Q-8O V - Moon 4 - Ishukone Corporation Factory | Ishukone-Raata Administrative Headquarters
The Ishuk-Raata Enforcement Directive Board of Directors is pleased to announce the kickstart of the Syndicate Stability Initiative IIGäó. The principles guiding this initiative are simple: work towards the stability and development of the Syndicate region while supporting the existing baseliner entities, and promoting ideals of the Ishukone Corporation and Caldari State.
I-RED has had a notable history of operations in the region for a number of years prior. During that prolonged stay, the alliance ran a successful Syndicate Stability Initiative. With the recent alliance restructuring, I-RED once again finds itself calling Syndicate its home. The Board of Directors has decided to reignite the furnaces of progress, and funds have been devoted to projects under the Syndicate Stability Initiative IIGäó. We are ready to officially announce the existence of a number of ongoing projects:
Planetary Trade SupportGäó - This project will focus on the deployment of planetary customs offices over planets in the immediate 98Q pocket: 98Q-8O, 2G38-I, S-U8A4, ZV-72W, U-4Q2V, and CY-ZLP. Tax rates will be set to an appropriate level in order to foster a burgeoning planet-to-space trade network. I-RED will also provide planetary shuttle transport at affordable prices for baseliner clientele. There may be a push to secure customs offices outside the immediate 98Q pocket in the future.
Operation Grey SteelGäó - This project will focus on the deployment of citadels and other Upwell structures in systems which lack stations within the 98Q superpocket. The ultimate endgoal is to provide and support a GÇ£freeportGÇ¥ network of structures that capsuleers and baseliners in good standings with I-RED can utilize at affordable rates. Progress is already well underway with the finished construction of two Astrahus-class Citadels in A-3ES3 and 617I-I, respectively. Employment aboard I-RED structures is open to the general public. If interested, please contact the Human Resources department at the Ishuk-Raata Administrative Headquarters in 98Q-8O. Furthermore, we are also opening up an investment opportunity to the wider public in regards to the erection of these structures. A system of shares will be created for citadels, and investors may purchase shares for each citadel in order to reap a benefit at the end of each month based on how much the citadelGÇÖs services were used. Additionally, the investor with the most shares at the start of a three-month period will have the citadel named in their honor for that three-month cycle; this can be overruled at any time if another investor purchases at least half the shares for that citadel. Follow the outline below for additional information:
Astrahus-class Citadel // 300 shares 1 share // 10,000,000 ISK
Example Scenario: Investor A purchases 100 shares. Investor B purchases 50 shares. There are 150 shares open for purchase. Both will reap a monetary benefit at the end of the month based on how much the respective citadelGÇÖs services were used. Since Investor A has the most shares at the start of the three-month cycle, the citadel is named in their honor. One month in, Investor C decides to purchase 150 shares. Since Investor C purchased at least half the shares of that citadel, the name is immediately changed in their honor.
A public listing of shares for each citadel will be made available at the appropriate times. Shares may be traded between investors, but I-RED will charge a service fee of 5% the value of a share for the transfer. Share auctions for the two citadels already in operation will open later this week. Any further questions may be directed in this thread or to Roirdan Bouchate.
These are just a couple of the development projects I-RED is currently working on. The number of projects will only increase with time. We are excited to roll out the Syndicate Stability Initiative IIGäó, and we hope that some of you will join us in achieving prosperity for the people of Syndicate.
For Ishukone. For the State. |

My congratulations to I-RED on this latest initiative.
It's good news to hear I-RED are reinvesting in JQV5-9 and I'm confident that these projects will help bring stability to the people of the constellation, as well as profits for Ishukone.
I will be in touch directly regarding the investment opportunities presented by Operation Grey SteelGäó.

I too am interested in the investment opportunities being presented. I'm also inclined to support any initiative that might help the local economy for the benefit of the local populace, so this is an easy choice for me.
Give my regards to old Mother Ishukone for me.

Mssr Bouchate,
Congratulations and best of luck. Seeing what your corporation's service history looks like, you seem to have what's needed to make a mark over there. Stability in Syndicate will help create stability (eventually) for Intaki.
I'm curious if your'e going to be working with or against the public interests of the Intaki Syndicate.
Consider me very interested in investing. I'll also pass this information along to my co-workers and see if I can't drum up some additional investors for you.

I appreciate the remarks, Mr. Moray.
As with the first Syndicate Stability Initiative, we will work with the interests of the local Intaki Syndicate in mind. Due to the independent nature of each station in the region, we expect some station managers will be more willing than others to work with I-RED. We hope to experience even more cooperation this time around with the local stations in the region. |

This is an announcement that auctions for shares of the A-3ES3 and 617I-I citadels are now live. A list of shares for each citadel may be found here. Updates will be provided daily.
It is also highly recommended that investors join the "Operation Grey Steel" mailing list to keep up-to-date with current and future developments of the project.
Fly safe and fair profits. |

It was phrased as a question, not as a complaint. If you cannot answer a direct question about your intent to defend the assets you are asking for investors for then how do you expect people to invest?
And three billion ISK for a citadel? http://evepraisal.com/e/11007452 http://evemaps.dotlan.net/jump/Rhea,555,S/Dodixie:98Q-8O
You must think us fools.
After the last "Syndicate stability initiative" Syndicate remained unstable and I-RED bought a Titan. I wonder if these double to triple price citadels and intent to take over POCO's will generate any money for the people of Syndicate at all.

Her statement is highly inflammatory, so I interpreted it as a poor attempt at harassment. As such, I invited her to file a formal complaint with our offices so any grievances she has may be settled appropriately.
The question was anything but direct. Since you clarified her statement, though, of course efforts will be made to defend these structures and the lives of many hard working employees aboard them. I-RED actually works with Clockwork Pineapple to secure a better future for the people of Syndicate.
In your hurried attempt to paint our honest and genuine intentions in bad light, you neglected to consider the cost of the following items:
GÇó Service slot modules (to provide actual services of use to capsuleers) GÇó Rigs (to enhance the functions of the citadel) GÇó Citadel modules (to allow citadels to defend themselves, if necessary) GÇó Citadel weapon ammo (to allow citadels to actually fight back) GÇó Fuel blocks, continuous supply (fuel consumption dependent on the number of service slots equipped and utilized) GÇó Fighters (again, additional defense options for the citadels)
Furthermore, ISK from investments will also be set aside for the construction of future citadels in the region.
Quote:After the last "Syndicate stability initiative" Syndicate remained unstable and I-RED bought a Titan. I wonder if these double to triple price citadels and intent to take over POCO's will generate any money for the people of Syndicate at all. I would argue otherwise. Progress takes time, and during the peak of I-RED strength from our prior contract in Syndicate we were largely successful in eradicating pirate elements from the 98Q superpocket. I can point to other examples, if you so wish.
As for the titan, it was purchased using funds supplied by projects completely unrelated to the Syndicate Stability Initiative as well as a considerable donation by an I-RED member.
You can have all kinds of fanciful thinking about how big bad I-RED only takes from the people of Syndicate, and doesn't contribute. I don't care. Just realize that you are wrong.

Well gee, an entity offering investment opportunities actually wishes to get at least a minimal amount of money back? Shame on them! |

Unapologetic self-interest on the part of all parties is, in my experience, the best and most straightforward method of achieving a mutually desirable end. Sadly, it has a very bad name among many, if not most, jaijiit. Their loss.
In the hostile environment outside the State (and tragically, sometimes within), it becomes necessary to conceal one's self-interest under a nasty coating of sugar about how much good you're going to do for others and how selfless your noble interests are. It's rubbish and everybody knows it, but for whatever reason everybody still expects it. So don't attack us hypocrites when we play the game you demand.
Now, if we actually start to believe our own saccharine rhetoric, feel free to call us out as dorikkideit who court anoenkraativ, and all Caldari will help you condemn us.

The mental gymnastics some people perform to find a way to condemn honest moitte is spectacular and, frankly, exhausting to consider. Spend your time and energy forwarding your own business and get your nose out of ours.

Anyhow, I suppose I am treading on the path of being unprofessional. My apologies.
To address your concerns that Operation Grey SteelGäó is in no way beneficial to the local population of Syndicate please consider the fact that every structure erected under this project will have a considerable portion of staff hired locally. These employees will have quality education and training for their hired positions. They will be paid fair wages, and be entitled to various work benefits. They will bring their families with them. Their families will have access to high-quality education, entertainment, safety, and careers. They will have access to various social services that may not otherwise be readily available to them.
Try to tell me, then, if what I-RED is doing in Syndicate is completely and undeniably selfish. Try to tell me that Operation Grey SteelGäó in no way, shape, or form beneficial to the people of Syndicate.

You want people to pay for I-RED to move back to Syndicate. The line it will benefit the people of Syndicate because you will hire them for your citadels and ship crews is at best tone-deaf and certainly one of the dumbest lines ever to come out of a Caldari corporation's already typically lazy public relations. The fact you are selling it as humanitarian effort and as an investment speaks to what kind of investors you are looking for.

Okay, it is clear to me at this point that trying to reason with you with any ounce of civil, reasonable logic will be deflected, misconstrued, and spun around back at I-RED into some sort of attack or attempt at harassment. Feel free to keep up your senseless rabbling in this thread. If you decide to say something actually relevant I would be more than happy to have a civil discussion with you. Fair profits to you, and thank you for the good luck.
Oh, and just so you know, a business can both be beneficial to the company offering the business and the consumers utilizing the business's services. This is basic economics. |

Well, if it isn''t our old friends I-RED.
It has always baffled me how I-RED is still held on a pedestal by so many, even when their schemes are so obviously self-serving. This venture falls apart in several ways:
You claim to be doing this for the benefit of the Intaki. First of all, why do the Intaki need your help? The Syndicate does quite well as a neutral organization. The Syndicate has no interest in bowing down to the Caldari, otherwise they would have followed Mordu. Sure you may employ locals, but so do the existing Intaki stations in the region which you are attempting to directly compete with for business.
This brings us to the business problem. While healthy competition is great, you are attempting to use an inferior service to compete with an established player. You say you will pay dividends on citadel taxes, but how are you going to make money? Your citadels offer fewer services than the Intaki stations, and are less safe. The Astrahus cannot support a market and repairs tethered ships free of charge, eliminating most of the potential tax revenue. I suppose you could make a little off refining, but if you crank up the refinery taxes people will just use a station. Safety of assets is also a major concern. Living out of a citadel means someone is at the whim of I-RED and their access control of the station. Citadels are also able to be destroyed (Astras in particular are not difficult to blow up), which would then require an enterprising pilot to pay a fee to recover their assets.
Why would anyone use your citadels?
This venture sounds nice, but the numbers only makes sense as a scam. As previously mentioned, you want investors to pay for you to move back to Syndicate. Some may not agree with our line of business, but at least we are clear in our intentions and deliver a quality product.
Regardless of your entertaining "investment," welcome back to Syndicate. We look forward to our in-system reunion.

Thank you for this, and allow me to explain.
Why do they need our help? Well, you answered that for us - they don't. There is a difference, however, in needing versus wanting the benefits we can offer them. Some residents of Syndicate may want a piece of the cake, while others may not. We will gladly serve those who do, and will simply coexist in this big cluster with those who do not. It is that simple.
The Syndicate has no interest in bowing down to the Caldari? Well, I didn't know Sarpati required all his underlings to bow down to him for employing them, but here in I-RED we do not require our employees to submit to either I-RED or the Caldari State. They simply work for us for a wage, and they are free to keep their loyalties wherever they may wish (with certain exceptions, of course).
On the contrary, we are not directly competing with Syndicate stations for business. If you look at any starmap, you will notice that the systems we erected citadels in are in non-station systems. There is no local competition, unless you move a jump or two over.

Citadels are also able to be destroyed (Astras in particular are not difficult to blow up), which would then require an enterprising pilot to pay a fee to recover their assets. As stated in my last point, the systems in which these citadels are constructed do not have direct local competition from Syndicate stations. Thus, there is no established player to compete with in the individual systems. Also bear in mind that construction is still ongoing within each citadel, and more services may be offered over time.
I agree that even still, the services we can offer via Astrahus-class citadels are limited. This is unfortunate, but we do not expect it to pose a problem, as we will also be collecting fees from the non-capsuleer residents who live aboard them and make use of them.
Safety is a concern, yes. However, in addition to the citadel's own defenses, we expect to be able to keep them relatively safe alongside our allies in the area. You do bring up a good point about asset recovery in the event that one does get destroyed...hmm, perhaps this is a service I-RED will agree to cover in the future; discussion amongst the I-RED board of directors is required.

Or maybe a safe haven to temporarily escape gatecamps? There are plenty of reasons if you think hard enough.
If you say so.
I can assure you with complete confidence that I-RED in no way, shape, or form needed any financial assistance to move back to Syndicate. We more than have enough ISK to move on our own.
Also you don't think we deliver a quality product? I'm moderately offended!
