![]() ![]() ![]() Just go look at the various “anti snuffed out” fleet of last winter where Local is Primary along with their sometime allies, sometime not “Rekking Crew,” Dock Workers, and Siege Green defended (or tried to) Minmil and pirate structures against Snuffed Out. There are a lot of battle reports where Local is Primary is on the same side as unsavoury and even minmatar groups. When you show up to help allies, not everyone that is on “your” side that day is friends. Look, let’s not pretend we don’t know how low sec works. That was LUMEN showing up to help PNS and EM showing up to help PNS. If you’re referring to the recent action in Elarel? (A system that has no Amarrian claims might I add.) That was not a Lux operation. I have said before and now again that we are willing to reconsider this position if they make assurances and agreements to not do this in the future. It is not reductionist to recognize they cooperate with Electus Matari closely, surely have open lines of communication, and will aid one another’s aims at the expense of the Empire’s, making them a threat and an enemy. It is good to see that there is at least some reciprocity in your relationship, but their past conduct is not something that can be ignored for us. Ushra’Khan, (something that I spoke to Local is Primary about first but dealing with CONCORD was too much of a pain for them,) I don’t believe they so much as gave a curtesy notice to EM. In fact when PNS came to Tanoo to assist LUMEN vs. I’m my dealings with PNS, this was not the case. I think it’s a bit of a blind spot of yours that you assume cooperation is subordination and that PNS looks to EM for direction. Saying that they are aligned with EM is very reductionist. Either the Empress was complicit in conserving the Republic Fleet’s manpower and materiel means of prosecuting campaigns in the warzone, or LUMEN wasn’t preserving EM’s fighting capacity in the warzone. After all, inevitably when the Republic Fleet deploys forces in defense of systems in the warzone, they’re using expertise partially developed in the fight against the Triglavian invasion, and material not they have available partially due to losses not suffered in the invasion… because of the Amarr / EDENCOM assistance.Ĭan’t really have it both ways there, Aldrith. Inevitably when they take the same coalition (minus LUMEN), including the material and expertise gained from that cooperation, and use it to fight us instead of Triglavians or pirates, LUMEN will have at least indirectly contributed to a much more difficult fight for us.īy that logic, though, you should be equally open with finding fault in the Empress for permitting the inclusion of the Republic in EDENCOM, and with any Imperial loyalists that flew in defense of Republic systems against the Triglavians. The unfortunate issue from our standpoint is that LUMEN’s cooperation with Electus Matari and Phoenix Naval Systems in other areas undermines our future position in the warzone. ![]()
