Regardless, the incident that is being portrayed as a casus belli is a lot of nonsense. From what I understand, someone undocked their neutral fax into a fight and was surprised when it got shot at, and then some of you started deploying caps 3 jumps from Snuff's staging system and were surprised when they showed up quickly. When literally their primary form of content as an organization is hunting capitals and supercapitals. The whole thing is just an excuse to kick something off that a few people in GalMil leadership have wanted for awhile. They just needed a valid reason to feed their grunts.
From my admittedly limited perspective, this divide seems to be fundamentally about the desire/dream of some of the old Galmil leadership to build Galmil into a supercap wielding, fully escalation capable power bloc capable of going toe to toe with groups like Snuff and SC all the way up the escalation ladder and quickly and regularly forming large end-game doctrine fleets. They want to build Galmil into something like Snuff or SC to the point where it would be this power bloc within GalMil having free run of the warzone under a protective super umbrella, rather than the other way around. This isn't necessarily a bad dream or objective to work toward long term. But you've got some folks like our Dear Leader (long may he rule) Tek Stalker who don't share this exact vision and aren't possessed of a burning desire to kick Snuff's teeth in at every possible opportunity and send them limping off to null where they belong.
I've flown with snuff a few times now. Been dropped on by them a few times. First time I saw a Nyx up close. They don't seem like a bad bunch as filthy pirates go. And I think there are many people in FW and in RDRAW who can't or don't wish to dedicate the time and effort to this game to be a part of a supercap wielding, moon farming power player. Access to that kind of content through an ally without having to structure our own organization the same way is pretty appealing. Basically, this whole little scrap is about a difference in vision and some serious resentment on the part of long term Galmil leadership that some of the newer kids on the bloc aren't keen to follow their lead, despite that fact that the greybeards believe (perhaps rightly) that they are owed some deference due to their seniority and past deeds.
Beyond that, I have only one thing more to say..
We shall go on til the end. We shall fight in Tama. We shall fight on the stargates and in the complexes. We shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength amongst the stars, we shall defend our system, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the stations, we shall fight on the moons, we shall fight in the belts and on the planets, we shall fight upon the link Tengus in the very depths of space; we shall never surrender. Let us brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves, that if our glorious corporation should endure a thousand years, men will still say, this was their finest hour. |
