FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Electus Matari to join the Minmatar Militia
Pator, Kulheim RSS, 114.02.06
---
Electus Matari, an alliance known for its allegiance to the Minmatar Republic and its anti-piracy work, is going to join the Minmatar Militia. "Our people are at war - we are here for the Republic", states Alliance Leader CJ Walker of Snow Leopard Lodge, Clan Avenar, Brutor Tribe.
However, pirates in Republic space should not breathe a sigh of relief, as the alliance leader also explains that it is not Electus Matari's intent to focus solely or even primarily on Militia work, but to keep up other normal operations beside. "I don't want to see the proud name of Electus Matari to fade into obscurity as just another militia corp", she says.
While expected to happen since alliances have been allowed to join, the decision comes only after lengthy internal discussions. In addition to the concern that Electus Matari standard operations might suffer from easily-available Militia work, some pilots in the alliance are worried that losing access to hostile regions and the changing conditions in low-security will hamper industrial operations.
This concern is not, however, universal. "I live in lowsec space, and we have been in wars more or less constantly since I joined. We are used to being paranoid", says a member from Bionesis Technologies. Another pilot from Gradient adds: "And you can get anything you need from Rens; Jita is over-rated."
Electus Matari current standings list includes "red" corporations in the Minmatar Militia. No changes are planned to standings policies. Head Diplomat Mikkel Lybecker has promised, however, that all such red standings will be reviewed and hopefully some of them removed, in the weeks following the alliance's entry into the Militia. Patience is requested from those involved, as the changing status of the alliance causes an excess of diplomatic workload.
Despite some concerns and the emphasis on maintaining normal operations, most pilots look forward to being in the Militia. "Protecting the Republic is our identity", explains one. "I like more flashy", summarizes another. No plans for specific Militia-related campaigns have been released at this point. Electus Matari is currently also involved in CONCORD-wars with pirate organizations.
