YC121 has been a difficult year for Intaki and its people.
As what became known as the Intaki Crisis developed, the attention of many was drawn to the security arrangements for the system, and the performance of the incumbent franchisee - Mordu’s Legion.
Early in the spring, before the events on Intaki Prime, I had made a formal statement on behalf of the Intaki Liberation Front regarding the franchise, and remarked on the performance and professionalism of the Legion to date.
My comments echoed the sentiments of a much older statement I made in early YC115 where, on behalf of the Intaki Prosperity Initiative, I also voiced our support of the Legion, prompting a wider discussion on the security of the system in general.
During their ten year tenure, Mordu’s Legion have have successfully defended Intaki interests, both on the surface of Intaki Prime, and throughout the system. Therefore it has been with extreme confusion and disappointment that their response to the crisis appeared to fall so far short of expectations.
Our position is that the people of Intaki deserve an explanation of the Mordu’s Legion response to the violence on Intaki Prime. The Intaki Liberation Front, with the support of the Intaki Diaspora, intends to maintain pressure on the Intaki Assembly to achieve this.
However, while the current franchise comes to an end under a cloud, we also look forward to learning which groups hope to be awarded the contract for the future.
Many among us are very interested to see that the Intaki Space Police have sent a delegation to meet with the Assembly, and we anticipate that they will be shortlisted as potential security franchisees.
As ever, I am inclined to wait until we know more, before committing the ILF or IPI to supporting one group or another. If and when I’m happy to provide an official endorsement, a statement will be made to that fact.
