[GalFed] A Statement of Condemnation of the so-called "Gallentia Primacy"

@Rinai_Vero

The biggest problem with hyperbolic rhetoric like “not about the established order whatsoever” is that if anybody reading can think of even the slightest possibility or the most far fetched of circumstances where the Empires might care about literally anything other than what you claim here to be their sole and exclusive concern… they can understand the flaw in your argument.

They’re allowed to be wrong, yes.

@Natasiya_Kuvilkaarin

Except you’re missing the entire premise of my original post. The militia warzone is a grey zone of interstellar affairs. There is an interstellar order established by the signatories of the CONCORD Assembly where at least for now there is agreement to adhere to its rules and treaties, where unilateral military action in that context has potential repercussions, and economic interdependence through SCC regulated free markets makes total war undesirable compared to the financial benefits of maintaining the status-quo of CONCORD.

That might be a valid position to claim if your original post had actually talked about that, instead of about changing the international status quo.

No, Arrach Sarum was not doing what you seem to think he was doing. Arrach Sarum was saving face. Arrach Sarum had the planet-wide Reclaiming of Floseswin IV declared on these boards, after it was pointed out that AmarrMil capsuleers in his military circuit were making deals with Minmatar Militia capsuleers to not challenge control of certain system. He was pointedly embarassed here, in public.

Additionally, His Grace has seen fit to commission labour acquisition expeditions to each and every system in the Upper Rebel Provinces currently held by the forces of the 24th Imperial Crusade. All labour acquisition specialist groups will be accompanied by troops drawn from the Shining Flame company, the Red and Silver Hand company, and the Order of St. Tetrimon. A priority order has been drawn up for the full reclaiming of the population of Floseswin IV.

House Sarum looks forward to resolving the matters to be investigated, to the coming reconquest and fortification of Imperial systems, and not least to welcoming new labour servants to the embrace of Holy Amarr.

No, Arrach Sarum was not engaging in any 12-dimensional Chutes & Ladders. He got goaded into a reaction. And even if that weren’t true, House Sarum has been the singular driving ‘We need to resume Reclaiming by the Sword’ force in the Empire for decades.

So he wasn’t trying to gain something he already had.
