In a statement late last afternoon, Chief Executive Panel Press Secretary Kisiras Haakenen avowed the Caldari State’s support for the “Call for Unity” initiative. The initative, an endeavour introduced by Drink Starsi™ Relations Coordinator and acting CEO Amin, calls for pod pilot corporations loyal to the Caldari State to unite under the flag of an officially CONCORD-sanctioned alliance. Haakenen called the move a “much-needed sign that in these trying times of ever-shifting allegiance and pan- [...]

Gregorman Tasfran was to lead it, supported by Olarania Hunits, Tsuniam Fendrick and Finuts Quarte, all of the Ministry of War. However, after the taskforce launched and ended up in the system [...]

Following in the Mikranian tradition of gaming philosophy so frequently favored by the Caldari over the last century, the Commission has decided to award separate prizes for the team victory and for the individual victory, in order to further stimulate the tension between loyalty to the [...]
Smuggling, an all too common problem in our galaxy. There are many pilots who have tried it at some point in their careers, with their cargoes sometimes being more illicit than others. While the shipment of humans, most notably slaves is not frowned upon by all of the races, it is seen by those who oppose it as one of the most unacceptable cargos to carry. Such is this feeling that pilots took the matters into their own hands. A convoy was detected moving slaves from Gallente space, through the [...]
The Gallente federation, one of the most technologically progressive races in our galaxy, especially under the rule of the current president Foiritan, has always come up short when it comes to defensive shield technology. The Gallentean designs are never quite as good as the Caldari or the Minmatar, which has forced them to focus more prominently on ships’ defensive armour plating. Gallentean scientist have for years been trying to improve their shield systems, making them stronger, more durable and [...]
The Caldari gaming commission is reporting that with the upcoming finals in the COLLOSSUS race, billions are being injected into the gaming industry.

We haven’t seen numbers like this in decades. A lucky few will [...]

In the hope of swinging more votes and creating trade deals, Mr Autrech sent 10 of his highest and most trusted negotiators to meet with the Intaki Syndicate, this week. He hoped to not only gain fiscal benefits from this mission, but also to penetrate the Intaki vote to aid him in his cause. The Syndicate invited the negotiators to meet in [...]

Three days ago, Joshua Foiritain received the first privately owned Federation Navy Comet from his contact at Roden Shipyards. Junnader Crucarne of the Shipyards stated that he was pleased to be able to offer the ship to such a loyal and hardworking freelancer. I had the opportunity to interview Mr. Foiritain, Hitzu'kai Brena: How does it feel to have been rewarded with such a ship?

The Person: Despite his obvious talents, Eman Autrech was for years not considered to be a serious contender in the political arena of the Federation as he was thought to be ‘too nice’. In latter years he has managed to reign in this what can only be described as a serious vice in a politician. Consequently, he now finds himself poised to take the Federation by a storm. Autrech is a brilliant orator, possessing that rare talent of being able to explain the most complex things in simple, elegant terms. [...]
