Ironic. If it's not a conspiracy theory about impersonation and inside jobs, it's a conspiracy theory about Jacus Roden profiting from the destruction.

Guess no matter what you do, there's always going to be a conspiracy.

I don't think there can be any doubt that Jacus Roden profits from the increased demand for Roden Shipyards warships.

So have I. I've built and sold Roden ships - you can make good money of Ares and Oneiros-classes. Clearly, I'm a co-conspirator and should be arrested for treason. Oh, and arrest Lai Dai and Kaalakiota while you're at it: Both have profited from the increased demand for their warships, exactly as Roden shipyards have done. Clearly they're in on it.

I would remind you that it was a Gallente supercarrier, not a Caldari one, under the command of a Gallente general, not a Caldari one, which took the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians at Malkalen.

Your response is sadly typical of Gallentean apologists who choose to ignore the tragedy and vilify the Caldari state. So typical, in fact, that I predicted it in my original post. Thank you for demonstrating my point for me.

I'm not defending Jacus Roden, I'm defending the State from cracked cases like you by trying to show that we're not all of us completely dense.

I wasn't aware that Templis Dragonaurs, Guristas, True slaves, and an assortment of independent capsuleers could be considered "State officials".

Well, except for Pouriainen Uetartoshin. That was a blue-on-blue brought about by a confusing combat situation which led me, and many others, to mistake him for a Dragonaur. I reached an appropriate settlement with the Peace and Order Unit out of court and my standing with them has suffered no permanent harm.

Those loyal to the Gallente Empire would have us believe that they stand on the side of freedom, peace, and justice. They choose to ignore the catastrophe at Malkalen, pretending it never happened--or, in some cases, spread conspiracy theories suggesting it was either an inside job or the work of a rogue capsuleer impersonating Noir; absurd claims with no evidence to back them up.

Malkalen shows the true nature of the Gallentean government--this nominally democratic empire is in fact controlled by military industries who will stop at nothing to ensure a market for their weapons of war. How much has Jacus Roden profited from this war he started?

The memory of that day burns forever in the minds of all those who love truth, who love justice, who love peace. Remember Malkalen!

I'm not at all sure the State needs or wants defense from someone whose combat record consists entirely of attacking Caldari State officials.

Your words carry little weight, my traitorous friend.

Remember Malkalen!

I remember Malkalen. I remember the twisted metal, the smoke, the wounded as they were dragged out of the wreckage to be evacuated onboard the hastily assembled fleet piloted by capsuleers from every corner of New Eden. I remember Stitcher and others like him, equal parts stupid and brave as they left their capsules to personally lead search parties into the ruined station. I remember the horror we all felt as we realized the sheer magnitude of the disaster. I remember the sharp spikes of hope and elation each time a new pocket of survivors, or even just a single one, was found. Most of all, I remember the unity. That single day of unified purpose.

That was, until TEST got ran out of nullsec on a rail and decided that no, they actually did need the protection of the Caldari State

Those loyal to the Gallente Empire ...

Whoa ... Gallente Empire? Empire?



I go on vacation for a couple of months and seem what I miss? When did this happen?

Oh please, just because of one incident you're now going to judge all Gallente Federation?
