It was quite a battle, and Gallente losses were indeed severe. However, it is deeply ironic that you would celebrate that victory in the context of “independence” considering that among your “allies” were over double your fleet’s number of pilots from the Federation Uprising alliance. How shameful that avowed Caldari State loyalists must call upon disgraced Gallente mercenaries to defend their assets in Black Rise.
Perhaps while you are celebrating secession from the Federation, Templis might consider severing its role as a clearly inferior partner to FedUP?
At any rate, I apologize to the rest of my cousins in the State that Commander Kim’s obsession with my compatriots has been interjected into your collective celebration of national determination. Perhaps in the future there will come a time when such celebrations are not so tinged with bitterness and hostility.
