As to which planet is the Intaki Homeworld, when I used to reside in that system (back in my seperatist days), I came to the conclusion that the homeworld was Intaki V which at the time was one of only two solid worlds. Intaki V was a greenish-blue and the other (III I think) was a desert world which clearly did not fit the decription of a jungles.
This may have changed post-exodus as I have not been back for a while.
Excellent resource by the way.

Hi
I am into creating or discovering the depth and breadth of Intaki culture, which given the age of eve has had plenty of time to become rich and multi textual, with many stories legends social groups and histories, and varied homeworld geographies.

From the Gallente-Caldari War: The War Drones On literature from the EVE Chronicles section:
After a while the Caldari agenda became clear - they were willing to sign peace if the Federation would return Caldari Prime and acknowledge the newly formed Caldari state. But the Gallenteans couldn’t agree to these demands for two reasons: one, they were loath to admit a sovereign state into their midst; close to their own home planet and were unwilling to uproot the sizeable Gallente population on Caldari Prime, and second, the Gallenteans were not alone in the Federation and if they allowed the Caldari to leave the Intakis and Mannars, both of them starting to flex their economical and political muscles, might be tempted to follow, thus throwing the whole society into turmoil. The Gallenteans were forced to regard the Caldari as rebels and renegades and had to try to get them back into the Federation, with good or evil.
One could expect any declaration of Intaki sovereignty over the home systems to be met by condemnation and an similarly violent response. This appears to show the limits to the Gallente "democracy". Political unity is held to be more important than self-determination, presumably even if a peaceful resolution is sought.
Ghenja, if you're interested in partnering up with someone for that I'd definitely be interested.

I am currently writing some Intaki literature of my own which I'd be happy to open for collaboration. I'm also happy to help out anyone else who is looking. There is the potential for a small but productive Intaki literary community and I'd love to be a part of that.
Jalia and Ghenja, please feel free to contact me.

I found this thread very usefull. I selected Intaki as it more closely matched my own personality given the other options. Having more reference is very usefull so thank you for compiling that.
I did notice that intaki.com is down, do you need hosting or funding to bring it back up?

I am also a roleplayer, getting into the background of the Intaki - particularly, the facts regarding rebirth, for which there is very little cannon. I'll be writing some fiction for it over the next few days, and hopefully posting it to the Libray when I am happy with it.
Suuji, I may well evemail you soon (not tonight - past 3am and braindead).

Since the Intakis were "found" by the Gallente, Im pretty sure their only homeworld was the Intaki system. As has already been mentioned in the thread, Intaki V seems to be the planet where they were found. It is the only system that really looks hospitable and alive. You can get a beautiful view of the planet from the Astral Mining station, perhaps the most beautiful view I've seen in the whole of EVE. I really wish the Intaki would have a "prime" planet indicated in game, like the other bloodlines have.
I too picked the Intaki race for roleplaying reasons, as I didn't know squat about the importance of attributes, nor did I particularly care about anything but creating a character I wanted to be.

Very nice post. I have recently become very interested in the Intaki story and wish there was more material on the Intaki people. Maybe I will write some myself...

Wow. I also choose Intaki for roleplaying and the way the race complemented my own self. Intaki excel in electronigs and engineering, which works cause im a network engineer. anyhow, good work and thank you. i have been searching for intaki information regarding history, daily life, politics, etc, and you gave me alot of that. i do wish to collaborate something of the sort i must say. id like to see our people become a unified living force. a place where we can grow up without the need to resort to crime. id like to become a intaki freedom fighter in which ever sense whether that is unifying the peoples, fighting gallentean empire, or what have you. i wonder what would happen if we as players created enough starbases and outposts in Intaki space (or at least i think placid is that right spot) and secure it as our own?
also if anyone has info on intaki corps' that support the cause please let me know as im interested in jumping into the fray with my RP character.
thanks again.

Feel free to drop by our ingame channel "PlacidReborn", or the "Intaki" channel (both without the quotes of course). We're always happy to see another Intaki roleplayer, you'll probably find the greatest concentration of us there.
Good choice and the more the merrier

In truth there is very little written about the eve universe(as compared to other long lived settings, and most tabletop rpg settings), it just takes reading it all and sifting out the relevant information, which might or might not be as simple as I make it sound.
I have been interested in compiling a Caldari RP resource, but have not had the time, I just refrence people to 4 or 5 pages of relevant text.

So here is what can be assumed from all the sources available to us.
The Intakis lived a low technological lifestyle for centuries. The Gallenteans find them and quickly disturb there culture and way of life. After the mentioned Culture shock they decide if you cant beat em, Join em. The Intakis rise in importance throughout the Gallentean federation and become wealthy space traders and bussinessman.
When the caldari/Gallente war breaks out the Intakis somewhat sympathize with the caldari and attempts at uprising are made, which are swiftly dealt with and silenced by the Government. The intakis afterwards integrate more into the Federation and become more or less a second hand to the Gallenteans.
What annoys me more is that little to nothing is mentioned of the Mannar. I would like to hear a little about what there all about as well.

This is a fine compilation of entries.
Originally by: Jalia Kovacs
What is the broad Intaki position towards the struggle for freedom of the Minmatar? Are their ideals somewhat aligned and if so is there or should there be diplomatic ties between the two?
Somewhat aligned indeed. The Republic long held a favorable view of the Syndicate, despite the trade in contraband, and it is telling that the Thukker tribe, not Gallente or Caldari interests, handles advanced ship research and insurance in Syndicate space.
It is my view that the Intaki and Minmatar hold important ideals, for example: freedom and respect for cultural heritage, in common. At the same time the areas where we differ still leave us compatible. The Minmatar may sometimes be brash and passionate where we are considered and reserved, but our hearts are in the same place.

I have taken an interest in this topic and done some further research. Each of the various races in the game have made some mention of a base culture they are from in order to allow us to have a real world reference to see.
The word Intaki is of Hindi origin and the basic description of the Intaki would fit well into the base teachings of Ghandi and a society based on those teachings.
The reflective nature, a natural aptitude for math, even the idea of the rebrith fit in base Hindi culture.
The very statement that the Intaki where not an advanced race when found also fits. A culture such as the I one am mentioning would have not developed along scientific lines as fast as spiritual lines.
In many ways this would make the Intaki more spiritually oriented than the Amarr. The Amarr are more about the fact of man serving God. The Intaki would be more of personal spiritual exploration.
Now this is not to say that the Intaki are pacifists, just look at the early years in the formation of India. However they do perfer peace over war, but if war comes they will fight fiercely.
In an RP chat channel a discussion brought an interesting point. On the Intaki home world you would likely find a mix of ideas. There are likely three or 4 major cities with high technology used throughout. Outlaying communities would tend to have limited technology and there would even be enclaves that had none of the advanced technology.
It would be safe to bet that huge sections of the planet have been declared as sanctuaries and no ships are allowed entry. There is also likely a movement on the planet that wants the Intaki people to return home and to the old ways, forsaking all they have achieved and been given over the years.
Just some additional thoughts to add to this material.

This is one of the best threads on the forum.
Does anyone out there know if the Intaki desended from Indian Bloodlines. I heard this somewhere before.

From the "Intaki spiritual leader announces marriage" news item reported by Ziph Rhekor (Senior Reporter, ISD Interstellar Correspondents) dated 2006.03.27 20:46:19:
In a shock move, Intaki-reborn philosopher Vremaja Idama announced his marriage to Vika Kuvakei, a Caldari Deteis and daughter of a renowned Caldari patriot.
The news came as Vremaja, something of a spiritual and philosophical leader in Intaki culture, concluded his 5 year-long pilgrimage visiting Intaki colonies around the New Eden cluster. The Intaki, with his new wife at his side, has taken up a post at Caille University, lecturing in the schools of History, Philosophy and Politics.
This marriage between a pro-Federation Intaki and the daughter of a patriotic Caldari has come as a shock to conservatives on both sides; whether it is love or a more complex reason that triggered this surprising pairing has yet to be revealed.
Vremaja Idama is currently in his 8th incarnation - one of the few Intaki who have undergone a tradition known simply as "Rebirth" without the use of technology. Modern-day Rebirth is a complex process, similar to cloning, where the subject's traits and personality are passed on in lieu of their memories. The Idama which means 'Most Holy' are special in that their traits are passed on without any technological intervention and so basically represent a form of re-incarnation.
The first of the Idama, who lived prior to Gallente-Intaki first contact, taught his followers that the human soul is different from human memories. It was his belief that his purpose was to guide humanity, to teach us that the soul learns of itself and, once it has reached understanding, passes on.
Vremaja, the latest incarnation of a warrior-philosopher, is one of the few Idama involved in the Federation's political and scientific communities. He holds a special concern for the pod-pilot community, which is still burdened by the tragedy of mind-lock.
"Hostility, whether political, purely physical or simply conceived, is fundamentally wrong," said Vremaja Idama in an interview earlier today. "My marriage to Vika is fueled by those same motivations that should fuel all life - love and a desire for harmony."
Daughter of a Lai Dai Corporation R&D specialist, Vika Kuvakei is now enrolled in the
doctorate program of Cybernetics at Caille University. She's had a bad track record with
the Science and Trade Institute, but hopes that Caille University will provide her with the second chance she's needed.
Some very useful information for us in this article. We are introduced to the title Idama ("Most Holy") which is presumably applied to the holder as an epithet. It is not entirely clear whether all Reborn are considered Idama but this text appears to allude to that.
We also have confirmation that memories are not transferred, but personality traits and abilities are preserved.

Interesting, does the last name of Idama's fiancT ring any bells?
She's also interested in the same scientific slants as her more well-known ancestor (grand-father maybe?)

Yeah, noticed that. But I think I have seen at lest one other Caldari with the same alst name somewhere. It may jsut be a common last name in the State. Course, the same kinda research thing is a little suspicious.

The Idama apears to be one of many Holy men throughout the Intaki society. This Idama apears to be a more public representative of the Intaki religions and speaks to the public as a whole about the Intaki people.
I beleive it restrengthens my beleif that the Intaki are indeed related to Hindu/Middle Eastern peoples.
Anyways, I vote this be stickied.

I got the chance to talk to Vika Kuvakei the other day. She was quite an interesting gal to talk to. And well knowledged in quite a few systems, mostly reguarding the sciences, seems she doesn't leave the lab much though. She needed some help finding a few things such as R.A.M. Cybernetics, Isogen, and some Rogue Drone alloys and compounds. We had a nice long chat about rogue drones. She seems quite interested in Drones and Cybernetics. She did not talk much about Idama though, about a week before though I did have the chance to talk with Idama, although that was much shorter and he seemed to be settling in with University of Caille after his trip through the Intaki colonies. I did not get the chance to talk with him as much as I would have like, I myself have never been to the colonies or Intaki itself.

A selection of quotes from talks with Vremaja Idama on the PlacidReborn public channel:
Vremaja Idama > There are approximately 500 Idama's recognised by the Center on Intaki V. But there are many more Reborn.
Vremaja Idama > There is little difference between the Reborn and an Idama, just that the Idama have been able to incarnate over many lifetimes from before the times of cloning and technological assistance
Vremaja Idama > The "ability" is not one of genetics, but one of mental and spiritual discipline and practice.
Vremaja Idama > But i have not heard of any "new" Idama in the last hundred or so years. Most of us originated from before the perfection of cloning technology. many today find that cloning is an "easier" way to live longer.
Vremaja Idama > I am one of the older Idama, From before contact with the Gallente. But i am in the vast minority now.
This appears to indicate that the Reborn in general are generally able to reincarnate over either a single or small number of lifetimes. It suggests that the ability is in decline due to the perfection of cloning techniques.
Is it possible that many of the Reborn have forced their way back into a new mortal incarnation unconsciously due to traumatic circumstances or trememdous force of will?
The Idamas have obviously learned techniques to enable this transition over a much longer time frame. It is clearly a deeply spiritual process and the practitioners could reasonably be variously viewed by the populace as spiritual leaders, monks, prophets, shamans or madmen.

The oath of the Idama:
As long as space endures
As long as sentient beings exist
Until then, may I too remain
And dispel the miseries of the world.
It is almost word for word the Boddhisattva vow of Mahayana Buddhism, where an enlightened person - instead of stepping of the wheel of samsara/suffering and not reincarnating at all, ie. achieving nirvana - decides to return to this world in future incarnations, to help others achieve enlightenment.
It seems that reincarnation is part of the Intaki culture, but it would seem that in a slightly different way than it is usually perceived. Usually, it's believed that all persons are born again and again, but quite clearly in the Intaki case this doesn't seem to be. Instead, a spiritually advanced person is believed to be able return as an Idama and this was even before the advent of cloning.
The Reborn process seems to be something else as well. I think some of the more relevant questions include: did the Intaki have Reborn before they became a part of the Federation (ie. did they develop the technology on their own), what kind of a technology it is, where does the baby come from and what happens (is it a traumatic experience? is the baby naturally born or cloned or what).
I am usually very reluctant to make direct comparisons to real world cultures unless the links are obvious (Gallente -> French), but I think we should take Tibet into the mixture of influences on Intaki. They're the only real world country which includes supposedly reincarnated persons (the tulkus, most importantly of course the Dalai Lama)in positions of importance and I think old Intaki (before the Gallenteans came) could've looked a lot like old Tibet.
