>> CLEARED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE <<
OF1A0-3369-FN395-12-01-115
SUBJECT: Federal Defense Union State Of Affairs ORIGIN: The Office of Federation Navy Admiral of the Fleet, Anteson Ranchel LOCATION: Algogille XIII - Federation Navy Testing Facilities
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Federal Defense Union,
Today the Federation stands tall. Early this morning, news of the FDU's successful efforts to retake Ladistier reached my office.
I cannot help but express my elation, and most profound gratitude for the efforts of each and every one of our service personnel after hearing the news that the Gallente Federation now holds every system within the Caldari-Gallente Theater. This success is a shining example of the strength of the Federal people, and our dedication to ensuring the continued prosperity and success of our great nation's principles and values.
However, I will stress that the words of a great man, a former president of the people, must also echo through the hearts and minds of Federal Citizens everywhere:
"The Federation is not a defined region of space, of planets, of mountains, rivers, or woods. It is a vision." - Former President of the Gallente Federation, Arlette Villers.
That vision is what drives our people, our armed forces, and our objectives both economic, and military. The core and heart of that vision and the fire for it that burns within us all, must continue to beat in tune with the heart of every Federal Citizen across the cluster.
Despite the victory that is proclaimed today, we must never lose sight of the fact that we are still at war. We must continue to be vigilant, and we must continue to remain alert and aware of the Caldari threat to those values we hold so close to our hearts.
As Commanding Officer of the Federation Navy and Admiral of the Fleet, I offer my most sincere gratitude and respect to every one of our service personnel, and every pilot of the FDU for your continued efforts and bravery on the field of battle.
We must remember however, that we are engaged in this war not by choice, but by the will to protect our people and the founding principles of the Federation from an unprovoked attack by the Caldari. As such, I will conclude this address with a second quote that I have personally always held close to my own heart.
"The laws of the Federation were written for the good of the many. Not the good of the Gallente nor the good of the Caldari. Hopefully, we can help them remember this." - Gallente Senator Fronte Belliare, Senate session 23154/T3782.
With the most sincere respect and gratitude,
Anteson Ranchel Admiral of the Fleet Federation Navy Gallente Federation |

The spectacular performance of the FDU has made it clear to all in the Cluster that the Federation will not be bowed before the forces of tyranny and oppression. Tibus Heth's dictatorship has been dealt a blow today, but his reactionary vision of the centralized control of power must be destroyed completely if the free peoples of the Federation and Cluster stand a chance of resting.
I have been honored to be able to serve with the fine men and women of the Federal Defense Union for most of this past year, and have been amazed by their ability to put aside differences of opinion and background to fight together and achieve our goals, the liberation of all systems within the warzone. It truly is a privilege to be able to fly alongside them, and I hope to continue doing so for the foreseeable future.
Good hunting, pilots, and congratulations, you deserve it!

That is the beautiful thing about freedom, no one is forcing them to be here, or in the State. That is their own choice to decide. All we have done is given that choice back to them. |

It's refreshing to see what counts as a liberation and what not. Reassuring control of a lost ancestral homeworld is vile and unprovoked aggression, taking control of an entire region worth of systems that never were sovereign territory is liberation.
An achievement is an achievement, and I'll readily acknowledge that. However, the amount of bias witnessed due to some stalwart defenders of federation ideals here is staggering. If you're still honestly questioning yourselves why not everyone is buying into your visions of freedom, liberty and peaceful coexistence you've got your answers in here.

Something inside me makes me wish I was still out there with you guys. Alas, that's not to be. Congratulations all the same. This might be a platform for peace talks, but given the Caldari Providence Directorate didn't take the initiative for an end to a war back in their victory in 111, I doubt it. |

Press Release: Covert Intervention Alliance Makes statements in response to the Federal Defense Union Address
11 January, Old Man Star fell. Thanks to You.
"The Old Man Star system was a Caldari Bastion of their forces and symbolic of their power, for years a blight on Gallente Federation sovereignty, and we finally broke it like we have broken the Caldari will to defend what they have left."
"Billions of citizens were liberated from their oppressive business tribunal overlords overnight. What few Caldari loyal forces were left were reduced to skulking in the shadows of adjacent systems running small guerrilla attacks to slow reinforcements moving in."
"Fractures within the Caldari side started months ago, our forces successfully inserting spies into their leadership and trusted ranks, negotiations in smoky rooms with trade suppliers to reduce the supplies available, and finally introducing a set of complex evolving viruses into the Caldari hyper-net to cause their forces to no longer be able to use EWAR systems by their own Navy. no longer supported by large compliments of passive attackers who captured sites at little to now risk and is now culminating in a final battle. 11 January will forever be known as "Liberators Day" in tribute to those forces who gave freedom to those who could not."
"Our team salutes those who trusted us, allowed us to take part in the successful operations, and even followed occasionally when we led. To us, the Gallente Militia in its current form will be remembered as a great team. We hope to continue finding success and share the struggle to defend freedom long into the future" -John Vanus

Yes yes.. And the only thing more grand than the Federations current hubris is States hypocrisy. Desiderya try to be nobler in defeat than you ever were in victory. Oh, I am so glad the audit went well. Is Master Heth pleased with you now? "We are what we do." |

The only hypocrisy contained in my statement was the one I've pointed out. If you feel the need to comment that with further ad hominem attacks do go on, I've allocated five minutes of my time just for you coming afternoon. As far as defeat goes: We're not done yet. |

Congratulations are in order. This is certainly a kick in the teeth for the Caldari and a demonstration that the Federation is not easily trifled with, and that any grievance inflicted upon the Federation will be repaid in kind. To all the pilots who participated in this endeavour - my most heartfelt gratitude and admiration. You are truly heroes of the Federation.
To Auvier Bauvon and Anteson Ranchel, to Corbolla Palmezine and Allisa Audere, to Thoun Gaterau and Apaset Orviegnoure I say this - remember that the security and prosperity of the Federation will not be served by this war continuing in perpetuity. Hopefully we'll be able to hold most of the systems we've captured for a prolonged period, but Federal authorities should consider steps that will definitively end this war, rather than simply keep it off our doorstep. We saw three years ago the devastating impact that the war could have on our home territories, and in the occupation of Black Rise we have one of the most excellent bargaining chips in years - if the State wants its region back and its homeworld secure from future occupation attempts, they'll have to negotiate on our terms, not theirs.
We can't keep fighting this war forever, even if we can keep winning it. Something's got to change. Mane 614

So much for "the Caldari should have their homeworld back", eh? I didn't figure it would last. We lit this fire when it became clear that we weren't getting it back by any other means. |

That's your opinion, and your inference on my opinions - which, despite the fact that you seem dedicated to dictating them for me, have not changed. Trust me, I still think that the best peaceful resolution to this conflict is for the Caldari to get their planet back, but it is the responsibility of the Federal militia to ensure that if the Caldari believe the only way to get it back is to do violence against our people, they will never get it back, and they will lose a lot more than just their homeworld in the process of trying.
Fortunately, from the looks of things, they seem to be doing a fairly good job of that at the moment. The Provists began this war with an act of unprovoked and barbaric aggression, and in doing so soiled the honour of all Caldari almost irreparably. With every passing day, however, it seems more and more like the Federation will end it. Hopefully they will do so in a manner that creates a lasting peace and an atmosphere of mutual trust and co-operation between our two peoples - which is the goal I am presently working towards - but failing that I would accept a manner that serves the core ideals and the contemporary interests of the Federation.
Maybe you should educate yourself and read the other post I made in this thread. Just because I am sensitive to the grievances of the Caldari State does not in any way mean that I believe the Federation should simply roll over and accept abuse. For all the Caldari talk of indomitable will to succeed and unceasing vigilance, some of you seem to have forgotten that you aren't the only ones possessed of these qualities. The Federation has survived for centuries, and its core ideals for much longer - do you believe that we are not, in our hearts, as dedicated to our beliefs as you? Mane 614

Then why should we take a course of action that will not assist us in any manner and will make the war worse?

The aim of every right-thinking man in the Federation should be to find a way to end the conflict on terms that are agreeable to our nation. Mane 614
