The Intaki Space Police are the most natural champions of the people of Viriette. Most of the organisation’s members and practically all of its leadership descend from the inhabitants of Viriette banished 200 years ago by the Ultra-Nationalist Government, all of whose other acts of cruelty have since been entirely discredited. The ISP has a long track record of supporting the security of Placid, including with the Rise incident and more recently the early Triglavian incursions (when the Federal Navy was preoccupied with defending Essence). They regularly dispatch contractors to eliminate security threats in the area, as our own membership can testify. Most importantly, though, they pursue their mandate because they are local. This distinguishes them from any other potential franchisee, all of whom are dependent on far away corporate or imperial paymasters (although this does not necessarily disqualify them).
This is why the protestors on the streets of Lenoika and Navyii Akat are chanting ‘Intakitun Shupaarab Parakol’.
This is why Tanvir Vasumati’s campaign for the Archon’s chair in Duureanta is gaining traction on the basis of his proposed petition to recognise the Syndicate.
This is why the Federal Government should look on the Intaki Space Police as a natural partner in Intaki’s security when the Federation’s true friends are few and far between!
