The Intaki system is significant to many of us for different reasons.
To some of us it is our home. To others it holds a deep significance due to our ethnic heritage and it is where our forebears came from, and to others still, it is an important member state of the Gallente Federation.
It is therefore understandable that the events leading up to the current crisis on Intaki Prime have prompted a number of reactions and responses.
While some have chosen to take direct action, these responses have been accompanied by a number of public statements, declarations of intent as well as the expected commentary responses that follow. The result is a situation that is perhaps not as clear to follow as it could be.
Therefore I would like to provide a very brief summary, bringing all of those discussion threads together, just as we in the Daridas Intakitun have come together.
Late last year, the Intaki Liberation Front made a public statement 1 regarding the discovery, and failed rescue attempt of Idama en Waro. When the extremist group Tears of Rescard took matters into their own hands 2, and carried out terrorist attacks in a number of Khanid systems, they set into motion a series of events now referred to as the Intaki Crisis.
As attacks against civilians on Intaki Prime began, a number of concerned individuals and organisations gathered at the Intaki Security Summit3 to discuss how to respond.
Almost immediately, the military situation escalated, with the arrival of Lai Dai Protection Service troops, raising concerns4, 5 from those within the State, and the deployment of the Internal Watch by the Ishuk-Raata Enforcement Directive6.
What was the Intaki Security Summit has since evolved. The availability of some waned, and we have seen an increase in concern from those with a stronger bond to Intaki itself, and the seeds of the Daridas Intakitun were sown.
While some among us have debated and theorised7 the reason for Lai Dai’s sudden interest in the Intaki system, the crisis has prompted others to move assets and personnel in and out of Intaki and surrounding systems8, 9, in support of Intaki’s interests.
Others still have responded to Lai Dai’s aggression against civilians, by listing objectionable items on the open market from LDPS stations at inflated prices10, or undercutting Lai Dai’s prices for other commodities, with the object of targeting the megacorporations cash flow. Steps have also been taken to mitigate any potential acts of aggression by Lai Dai11 in response to these efforts.
Our grouping of corporations and alliances is not formal in the way that some may be familiar with the coalitions of the outer regions of New Eden. We are not bound by structures of governance or policy.
We are simply a collective, sharing an intrinsic bond from which our concern for Intaki springs.
I am proud that the Intaki Prosperity Initiative is counted among the Daridas Intakitun. The Intaki Diaspora.
