What would the Federation possibly have to gain from such an act? I could see a Caldari Mega-corp doing some sneaky deals with Minmatar groups for the sake of making money, however it's extremely unlikely that the Federation would gain anything from making the most minor deal with the Empire.
Considering humanitarian and military aid are still being pumped into the Republic, I find this impossible to believe. Plus, I'm sure today's training session with Gallente pilots would of been canceled if there was even the slightest reason to believe this. |

Oh, and draining wallets and stealing assets isn't the most profitable method of extracting wealth from others any longer. We've moved on to more efficient, less time-intensive means.
Gallenteans would not be defeated as easily as you may believe. I can safely say there are many cowards in the Federation, I've seen and flown with them myself. However, many contain a fanaticism for their country unseen in other nations. You must remember that during the Gallente-Caldari war ships were bombarding Caldari prime before the bloated bodies finished floating to the surface above Nouvelle Rouvenor, and that a certain Admiral waited nearly 100 years to carry out his "revenge".
And all while the Gallente Military has been teaching us conventional warfare, we have been teaching them guerilla warfare. Just last week I was explaining to some old officer how you could hide a small chemical weapon in the ventilation system of a cruiser.
Point is, you can't be too sure of yourself. Without a doubt you could probably get the entire senate pleading for mercy before you even finish loading missiles into their respective launch bays. But if uneducated, unarmed slaves could overthrow their Amarrian masters, then educated, somewhat armed Gallenteans would put up massive amounts of resistance. |
