Caldari Prime will forever be the ancestral home of the Caldari people. We have made mistakes and we have learned from them, this will be no different.
Perhaps Ishukone sets an important precedent with diplomacy in how we could achieve our end goal. We must ask ourselves, if our end goal is to reclaim our home world, why would be averse to doing so through diplomacy? We have a measure of pride that would prevent us from kneeling and begging and I would never condone such activity. But honest diplomacy? There is a way to obtain what is important, our home back.
If our end goal is the punishment of the Gallente and to deal to them a black eye as they have done to us, then can we not be honest enough to state that as our end goal rather than claiming our end goal is reclaiming home?
To the original post, many of us would give and do nearly anything to see Caldari Prime once again be home to the Caldari and a Caldari populace. Simply "giving it up" is not an option.

Chagangan,
Your kind words and respect honor me.
I agree with your assessment almost in entirety. A repetitive cycle of back and forth attacks will only harm the people and the planet, perhaps this is more evident now than ever.
I would push for a neutral government over the planet moreso than a Federal government over it but to be quite honest, either is more acceptable than continuing the cycle of suffering and struggle in addition to the struggles of simply living on the planet.
Our history has shown us that we are a capable and proud people, sometimes our pride has been our greatest asset and other times our greatest bane.

In all seriousness, though... is it the planet that matters, or the people on it? The flag or the hand that holds it? Because it is not inconceivable to evacuate the entire Caldari population from Caldari Prime and move them back into Caldari space.
These questions and this sentiment are borne from a natural misunderstanding of our people and why this singular planet is so important to us. To the Caldari, this planet is not just a ball of dirt that we once came from. It is far more than that. The concept is difficult to explain to outsiders but I will do my best.
Most Caldari (I would say "all" but that is another discussion for another time) walk The Way of the Winds, or just "The Way." It is not just a religion or spirituality, it is our way of life, our culture and our history. Caldari Prime is home to the spirits that taught us "The Way" and our history is written plainly upon the landmarks and architecture of it.
This planet is home to the Kaalakiota Peaks, the Great Western Sea and the ancient Kresh trees. It is the home of our guiding spirits and our ancestral spirits. It is where we were found by Cold Wind and taught to survive in the harsh lands of our home, it is where Heart-of-the-Woods provided for us and taught us to build shelter from Cold Wind's rage and Storm Wind's teasing, it is where Mountain Wind resides at the peaks of Kaalakiota and where Wind-of-the-West taught us to trade and how to sail. It is the land The Maker gave to us and the lessons we have been taught from it remain dear to us today.
The very way of life of the Caldari people is an extension of what we learned from Caldari Prime. The strict and unforgiving climate taught us the values of self-sacrifice for the community, hearth and home, the necessity for efficiency, honor toward one's family and one's kin, benevolence to one another so that all are strengthened and yes, even ruthlessness and the harshness toward those who refuse to serve the community or place oneself above the many.
Caldari Prime isn't just a planet, it is the very embodiment of everything that we are.

It's because of people with your mindset that this bitter enmity between our two peoples exists in the first place, lad.
Your cry for continued aggression and war will only result in more death. If you believe destroying one titan has crippled the State's defenses, you're extremely naive.

Sorjat,
Gallentian Capsuleer.
Adieu indeed. I will look for you on the field of battle then, my enemy.
