Pator - Senior figures within the Minmatar military establishment have dismissed recent developments in Amarr-Khanid relations as "changing very little" as far as the security of the Minmatar Republic is concerned. While a number of conciliatory moves have been made in recent months, the formal declaration of unity between the Amarr Empire and the Khanid Kingdom took New Eden's diplomatic community largely by surprise. In particular, Empress Jamyl I's decision to give Khanid II a seat in her Privy [...]

Tensions hit a fever [...]
New Caldari - Several Caldari leaders took time over the last week to express their opinions on the apparent reconciliation between King Khanid II and the Amarr throne.

None of the State's corporate leaders expressed those [...]

Heth noted that their achievement marked "an inflection point in history" that "established the legacy of the capsuleer for time [...]
New Caldari - A military reform proposal submitted by the Caldari Providence Directorate in April appears to be getting new life as a result of Internal Security's attack on a civilian convoy in Uphallant last week. Nugoeihuvi had previously led opposition to the proposal, but the actions of their security arm have reportedly made CBD and Sukuuvestaa uncomfortable with supporting their longtime ally in this matter. Meanwhile, sources close to the Ishukone board are reporting that the patriot bloc is [...]

Amarr - Following several days of closed door meetings with Lady Catiz Tash-Murkon, King Khanid II departed Tash-Murkon Prime along with the Khanid Royal 1st Fleet early this morning.
