Announcement
Several paramilitary entities have expressed concern, or indeed glee over our response to the Federation Navy aid convoy which tresspassed into the Caldari Border Zone last night. In all cases there was also a sense of confusion as to why a completely unrelated enitity would engage in such hostility.
This announcement is designed to clear up any shrouded reasoning behind the actions of Veto inside Kassigainen yesterday evening.
Due to the confidentiality clause in our Contracting Charter, I am unable to reveal specific detailing, however there are several points I am able to make clear.
Veto were contacted regarding, and subsequently accepted a contract of employment to destroy the Federation Navy convoy.
The client wishes to remain fully anonymous, this is how it will stay.
The contract was a complete success, and our client was so impressed they felt inclined to pay a substanital bonus for an effective strike at the heart of the Federation.
We accept full responsibility for any deaths or injuries during, and resulting from the destruction of the Federation Navy Convoy.
Veto will remain neutral to all entities involved, and any paramilitary entities concerned for our own benefit.
This is to ensure that if offered, we can fulfil any contract to the best of our abilities without prejudice or second thought.
No Convention, Treaty, Law or Non-Agression Pact rules the Veto family.
Our bottom line, and the depth of a client's pockets is all that matters.

Ah, so it appears that there are still those who do not cloak their ambition to kill in meaningless terms such as "Freedom," "Honor," "Duty," and "Liberty." I salute such a valuable addition to our world. Good work VETO, good work.
May you serve well in the dance of combat, and enjoy fully the war that is to come. I drink to your fortune. ------------------------------------------------- War, the ultimate test of skill. The ultimate pleasure. The ultimate pain. My EVE blog: http://lifeneweden.blogspot.com/ |

Didn't know before that it was a thugs-for-hire contract. This makes things all the more complicated; Veto didn't have an ulterior motive but someone else did.

I don't know who would issue a contract for an attack like that. Loyalist forces from either side benefit from this further step towards war. I do know, however, that many people did benefit from looting the wreckage.

While you may have been simply following the terms of your contract. I hope that both the Federation & State shall declare all pilots, present & future, shall be declared outlaws in both empires space & barred access to all stations & other assets of them.
Merely claiming that you were just fulfilling the duties to your contractor doesnt make your act any less heanous. Neither does it mean your punishment should be any less then what is due.

For once someone has simply told it like it is. Honesty, even that of a cold and cutting kind, is something hard to come by in this 'verse.
I echo Kyoko's words, and add only this -- you have my respect, which is not something easily nor lightly given.

Edited by: Radix Salvilines on 08/11/2006 23:15:53 Veto corporation just went into my black list.
How can someone pick a contract to kill innocent peoples that were willing to help those dying poor K IV dwellers??
This is outrageous and I will make everything I can to support Federation in this case. Our President made a great gesture and YOU just made a BIG enemy.
If there is anything capsuleers can do to help mr. President my corporation is at your service.
And if someone is calling Home Guard a "police" force then i want to meet him on the field. This is just unacceptable. Even if there were soldiers on this freighter it should be dealt with using diplomatic channels first. And Home Guard should react if this convoy was attacked.
Is this how Caldari State works? Very nice. Let someone out from Federation's just hand and they will degrade into ruthless barbarians. Maby if it's not the Amarrians that camed from the "south" there would be still a civilized space. No matter. Some steps must be taken. The Federation must put stop into this. Caldaris can't obvously keep their homes clean on their own.

Glad to see this still holds, even though your new profession requires you to pay lip service to the Concord Charter.
Congratulations on a job well done.

Innocent people? Willing to help? How blinded are you? Has your ignorance and dilusion gone so far that you can't see what the Federation was actually doing? Since when are 500 Marines needed for a humanitarian convoy?
You must understand that Veto.'s employeer did exactly what should have been done, and Veto. executed that brilliantly.
I will be keeping an eye out for any more attempts by the Federation to bring "aid" to any of my fellow citizens. The State is more than capable of providing relief for it's people, and will do so when it deems appropriate for whatever reasons are unknown to us.
Now, Gallente scum, stay out of our affairs.

To be honest, 500 marines is hardly a sizable invasion force, and most humanitarian efforts tend to bring along armed personel in order to protect the lives of aid workers and ensure a fair distribution of goods. Still. This business is Caldari business, not the business of the Gallente state and if the Gallente state wanted to help they would at least direct those aid resources through a more neutral third party, not send armed vessels into Caldari space.

Of course, they are an uncommon sight in Caldari space. _

I fail to see the problem there has never been a peace treaty between the Gallente and us, they know our terms but refuse them.
Even so had they asked through proper channels this would not have happened this is a put up job, probably looking for another excuse for a massacre seems to the federation way.

Cheers to Veto, for executing their contract and helping defend the states borders. The real scum here is the Gallente admiral or bureaucrat that ordered a Gallent fleet into Caldari space. What do the Gallente think that us Caldari are incapable of helping ourselves? If the state wants help, it will ask for it. If the situations had been reversed, and the Executive Panel had sent aid to somewhere in Gallente space without requesting and recieving autorization, I'm sure the Gallente would be bombing Jita as I write this. I am ashamed of HG's security forces, sitting idly by while those who are defending the state were being attacked. I Hope the OIC for HG is repremanded harshly.

I hope your corporation's prepared to deal with any retaliatory act that the Federation Navy may choose to commit. Granted, the Gallente may be seen in the eyes of the Caldari Navy as a potentially dangerous threat to the State, but unwarranted acts of aggression and destruction against non-combatant convoys - even if they do carry Marines as a means of protecting the cargo while in-station - are not seen as justifiable in the least.
Be more careful in the future, for if you keep going with this, you'll end up with far too many unwanted enemies.

When we're talking a station with only 1700 odd inhabitants before the riots started and suggested number of over 250 dead, bringing 500 trained soldiers to a civilian installation is quite a nice force to take over, so stop talking it down.

Very much so. The CEP even directly gave word to the Federation to not enter State space, good intentions or not. How much clearer can it be?
Although I don't particularly like the death following VETO's trail, I can very well understand why Home Guard kept the Federation Freighter from moving to its destination, and they had every legal right to do so. ____________________ first!!1!! -Capsicum

I'm sure you'll be happy to disclose the contractor's name then, seeing how you are obviously so well informed about VETO's allegiance to the State. Or maybe you stop trying to spout your blatant lies, learn to read and accept that being mercenaries, they work for whoever pays them. Ignoramus. ____________________ first!!1!! -Capsicum

Quote: Ignoramus
No, and I'm sure you're not as incapable of reason as you would have us believe.
This was inevitable from the moment the aid convoy was proposed. I'm sure my own government is no less culpable in this sorry exercise of sacrificial politics. Did anyone believe for one minute that the aid would get to those it was intended to help? The crew of that convoy were dead when they undocked.
If I had the details of how the deal was done I would already be dead myself. "Oooh the pie rats did it" is hardly the most clever and convincing cover I have ever seen but it at least can't be entirely pinned down as an act of state v state aggression. How many more pawns will be sacrificed before either regime gets down to the obvious point?

And that's where you're wrong. I welcome the notion that the Federation would like to support the State, I really do, and I'm quite sure so do many other citizens of the State. What fails my comprehension entirely is why the Federation would attempt to ignore a clear refusal of their offered help and proceed to violate sovereign State space by entering it with a Federation Navy vessel, one that holds a contingent of marines easily perceived as a threat to the civilian population at that. Simple rules of de-escalation dictate retreat into neutral or Federation space if intentions truly are peaceful, yet the Navy commander in charge apparently refused to just that and wait for his clearance. That is what signed the death warrant of all involved Federation personell onboard the supposed "relief convoy". It is entirely the fault of the commander in charge, or his superiors if they ordered him to stay; ultimately, it is President Foiritain's fault, for not accepting State sovereignty.
On another note, I still fail to see how you immediately draw a picture in which VETO was somehow hired by State citizens. Personally, the swift response by the Federation along with the swift destruction of the convoy by hired VETO forces stink of double-bluff, even more so considering the Federation's past ... 'problems' ... with solving their own crisis. The response times to what happened on Reschard come to mind... ____________________ first!!1!! -Capsicum
