Molden Heath / Krullefor Inquest

[Aurora_Amadi]

Some worrying information pertaining to the recent leak of this inquest. All the more disappointed I did not attend; I’d have quite liked to raise these concerns in private in the hopes that Bosena Accords would consider an alternative view. Let’s begin, shall we?

@Galm_Eskola-Fae

To review, we have reason to believe that the Seykal Clan and the Krullefor organization are openly collaborating in Thukker-sanctioned smuggling rings across Molden Heath. It is my belief that this constitutes not only a threat to the locals to have hostile Krullefore and Seykal allied warclones present in the area but also acts to undermine Republic law in local space.

I have attempted to contact the Thukker government directly, but they have been unable or unwilling to reply at this time. While there is no proof that the Thukker are directly involved in Seykal activity in the region, it seems fair at this point to estimate that they are compliant in their activity and that of the Krullefor Organization based on the Thukker’s tentative relation with their CEO.

What’s made all the more complicated, at this time, is the territorial sovereignty of Molden Heath. While the Heath remains nominally under the control of the Republican government, many of the habitable planets are specifically set aside for Thukker settlement. This leaves the sovereignty and administration of these planets questionable. Rule of law is a mess of tribal politics, and it allows smuggling operations like those of the Seykal to thrive

As with the Syndicate, one cannot conduct smuggling or black market operations within their own sovereignty. It only becomes such once the product of such trade breaches international borders. If you wish to preclude that the Thukker Tribe have sanctioned these smuggling rings within the jurisdictions you yourself describe as settled by the Thukker, then it isn’t much smuggling, is it? One could argue that the Thukker welcoming independent mercenaries to the planets could be tacitly relinquishing the these jurisdictions from the Tribe, but a landlord does not a tenat make.

As I have recently experienced in my interactions with the Minmatar, if it’s questionable, best to leave it alone.

@Galm_Eskola-Fae

Which leads me to my proposed solution. The thukker had a clear plan of action in reducing pirate activity in the area once before; open previously uninhabited Thukker lands to warclone settlement. Warclones have, by and large, evacuated the region as a part of the Bosena Accords or sought work elsewhere and left these regions in disrepair. Formal military districts and installations like those on Bosena XI are now proving to be hubs for criminal activity while remaining de jure “warclone” territory.

Oh, but you haven’t told the whole story, Mister Eskola-Fae. The Thukker had a clean plan of action in reducing Angel Cartel activity. Of which there is an important distinction to make, one may argue. The definitions of piracy are nebulous and vague, subjective to who views through the lens. If the smuggling activity is sanctioned by the Thukker, and they are sovereign holders in the region, then again, it isn’t piracy.

@Galm_Eskola-Fae

Our operatives have reason to believe that the Seykal and Krullefor have been so widely successful due in no small part to their ability “squat” in abandoned warclone infrastructure across Molden Heath that remains unoccupied. These areas are and remain largely unoccupied, and suffer from extreme environmental hazards due to the warclone conflicts planetside. For any representatives present on Bosena XI, you may have noticed the impact sites and glass pillars surrounding this station on your rotation planetside that gives Terror Maw its name due to the rampant orbital bombardment sites. So long as these hazardous facilities remain largely unoccupied and this territory remains de jure warclone sovereignty they will continue to be breeding grounds and staging areas from both Krullefor and Seykal activity. Thus I propose the following:

I have spoken with Knight Guard Fury, Wardon of Avalon and the de facto head of state for our union of warclones. We have agreed that these districts and territory is largely useless for us as we focus our attention away from Molden Heath and towards our goals of establishing a “homeland” in space via a project we call Avalon.

A majority of warclones support these ambitions, and interest in Molden Heath is diminished. However, given suspected links with the Thukker and Seykal clans I am unwilling to simply relinquish warclone lands back to the Thukker tribe

Therefore, it is my intention to invite all parties here to cooperate on a widescale settlement campaign to encourage Republic and Thukker citizens alike to pioneer these areas to create a large enough population of Republican citizens that these districts can then be marked for annexation by the Minmatar Republic or incorporated into larger Thukker autonomous regions.

So then you would deny a Republic Tribe their right of sovereignty on behalf of the Republic? Now that is an egregious overstep, Mister Eskola-Fae.

@Galm_Eskola-Fae

This will have to involve collaboration with Matari affiliated organizations like the Electus Matari to encourage resettlement planetside, and organizations like Corovid Industries to lend their heavy industry abilities in creating settlements. Meanwhile Bosena Accords will act as the primary warclone representatives involved in the hand-off of planetary districts to Republic control, and as a peacekeeping force until such a time where these districts and defend themselves without warclone support.
In exchange, the Bosena Accords asks that allied Matari capsuleer groups support our ambitions to create spaceborne superstructures through Project Avalon to act as a homeland for warclones that will take the place of planetary districts in Molden Heath.

In conclusion:

-Seykal and Krullefor Organisations are using abandoned warclone facilities for smuggling operations

-The warclone community no longer has need for these facilities as we turn our ambitions towards space and Project Avalon

-In exchange for Avalon’s nominal recognition from the Matari community, the Bosena Accords and by extension the warclone community will relinquish administrative control of planetary districts across Molden Heath for Republic settlement.

-All parties involved in the summit will be asked to provide diplomatic and material support in this mass settlement project.

-Bosena Accords warclones will provide planetary security and defense for these settlements until such a time that these settlements can stand on their own.

Very Respectfully,

Galm Eskola-Fae
Chief Arbiter, Bosena Accords
Avalon

I’ll be making a separate statement very soon in light of this recent leak, Galm. Rest assured, it will not be favorable of Bosena Accords.

EDIT: After further consideration, I believe I’ll let you discover this all for yourself.
