Caldari accessed insane ammount of wealth from ocupping gallente systems and then they magicaly loose it only couse Intaki Prime is occupied again by gallente?

---

The way I understood it Caldari megacorps borrowed immennse amount to exploit resources on gallente low sec worlds......they never got to much gains as not only Intaki prime but 41 other systems were retaken by gallente.

Whether this is the only casue of recent financial turmoil I dont know. It seems that Roden is causing problems or trying to give the impression that he is to have Heth overreact and cause interal discord amoungst Provists and megacorps.

It is a major cause of it. Add to this the Caldari-Amarr Economic Agreement, where the State's independent banks owe the Empire money and you have a situation requiring careful handling by the most skilled and experienced executives.

Heth is actively working to remove these very people from positions of authority and action. Blaming mistakes he forced on the State on others.

Mr Roden has a scheme to make the Caldari **** up. Roden knows corporate powerplay. If the Caldari ever had a Federation president to worry about it would be Roden, as he knows how the Caldari State leadership thinks and can play them like a fiddle.

I think this is where it is leading. The Federation has a President who knows how to hit the Caldari State where it matters most. That being the Megacorporations themselves.

Roden & the Federation could do nothing and Heth would likely be getting paranoid of all those with actual skill and the position to use it. This is Stalin purging the upper ranks of the Soviet Union to remove generals and managers with talent, charisma, and resources to become an internal rival.

In my view the current storyline leads one of two places:

1) Heth continues to consolidate power in the State. The sovereign powers of the megacorporation's are trampled upon. The story establishes the State as the Neo-Facist regime so many believe it to be. This helps to cement a Red vs Blue conflict between the Federation & State, Democracy vs Fascism, WWII.

2) Heth attempts to consolidate power and the backlash from the other megacorporations is wide reaching. Even the two other patriot megas work to isolate Heth & KK as Heth attempts to dictate the megas' operations, policies, etc. A civil war occurs in which Heth is removed from power and KK's overall power is severely reduced. The State's megacorporations continue to in fight, while the broken Patriots continue to fight the Fed in Black Rise.

I am personally a fan of option #2. Heth failing.
