Germans? France? Are these some sorts of things in Gallente folklore?

Heck I don't know. I just had some Gallente translate it for me.

I like to smoke cigars, drink fine whiskey and allow gorgeous ladies to spend time in my company.

my idea of peace and relaxation?
going through 15 minutes in a day when i didnt have to shoot some idiot who thinks he can move into my system.
but otherwise, i spend my time reading the IGS, laughing my guts out.
all the politics, smashing, bashing, racism.... Lord knows its too much fun watching others destroy eachother for the most pathetic of reasons.
Oh, and painting my Drake. can of paint, sitting in the hangar, giving it a shiny new coat. Relaxing, and in the end rewarding. ***********************

The translation is amusingly quirky and I'm tempted to believe somebody might have been having a little bit of fun with you in the details there monsieur Gandry.
It is a song a partizan who being told he must surrender to the invaders of his homeland decides instead to take up arms and continue the fight from the shadows of the country and tells his experiences in doing so (which include the heroism of fellow citizens).
Some racial groups in the Gallente Federation (including my own) do trace their ancestry from a nation of old Earth on the other side of the Eve Gate some 20,000 years ago. These were the French that the singer associates himself with. I believe the "germans" were the invaders in a bitter war thought between the humans of that remote time and certainly suits their reference in the song.
You are right to refer to the legends as folklore though monsieur Jaiga, and I certainly infer no criticism in the term. But impressive is it not that such stories echo down the ages in song and still speak to our experience today?

Indeed, I'm surprised such specific elements of old Earth's history made it through to New Eden. It must have been a very bitter war indeed, rivaling the Gallente-Caldari War.

Nothing rivals the orbital bombardment of evacuating civilians.
There's no such thing as overkill, only degrees of effectiveness. |

Nothing rivals the orbital bombardment while abducting civilians.

To be honest, I'm not too concerned about that. Living near stain, we have allies with Sansha ties. Things don't work the same way down here that they do under CONCORD.

By selling arms to the people who want to buy them. I find that making ISK is relaxing. And seeing as war is good for my business, so i spend most of my time relaxed.

I wasn't referring towards the Sanshas (although they fit into this, too).

I was merely referring to the bitterness caused by such events. I must admit, I never understood why the Minmatar and Caldari didn't share closer ties; they both understand the pain of a homeworld lost and then reclaimed through blood, honor, and fury.

Because for the Matari nothing is more important then personal freedom, in the State the well-being of the corp you work for and the State itself comes before that. The differences in their cultures are just too big

Caldari don't feel the need to cry like little babies about what they list, they just take revenge in some form.
Some revenge is still being build up. Let's just say that part of the State isn't done yet with the Gallente Federation.
