Friends and Enemies

The friend of my friend is my friend. The enemy of my friend is my enemy. The friend of my enemy is my enemy. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

If only life in such absolutes were true. This new Intaki movement certainly proven that they are not.

I am thankful for their assistance in running out Huzzah Federation, but their clashes with Beyond Evil and Good, particularly on the Intergalactic Summit forum do little help our cause. After much ruffled feathers, though, it seems the two groups have worked things out at least.

The whole affair just leaves me a little depressed, however. As much as I have tried, I cannot seem to be the leader the Intaki separatist movement needs to unify the various different groups and catalyze the idea into a reality. Perhaps I am too moderate for the extremists to comprise with. I deny them the blood they feel must be spilled. And I am too extreme for the groups like Placid Reborn who feel we should continue to hobble along under Federation rule.

By the Ida, I pray for the strength to carry on and see this task completed.

Another ILF success

While we may not mount the killboard stats of other corps, the ILF does find ways to measure its success.

This week's fuel supply operation was a shining example. The ILF assembled, organized and executed the mission perfectly. No fuel was lost, no ships were damaged.

I'm told the delivery will keep Serenity Station up and running for five months. I remember that when I founded the ILF people didn't think the corp would last five months!

Never a dull moment

You can call living in the Intaki System a lot of things, but boring isn't one of them.

We are currently prepping for our first clandestine jump freighter voyage to bring fuel to Serenity Station. This is an exciting development as it should allow us to bring in a massive amount of fuel in one jump. This will greatly reduce the number of supply runs we need and be safer for our pilots.

Anything we can do to stay a step ahead of the gate-campers is great, but saving time and isk makes its that much better.

I've also been receiving some information about a new Intaki separatist movement that could be making a move in the area. I'm always a little leery about about fanatics, even those who support my cause, so I'm going to have to wait and see before I pass judgment on this group.

An unexpected twist

Well, it would appear that Invicta. did not oust BEG after all. Instead a new group has come out of the Intaki Syndicate region and beaten them.

Huzzah Federation once started as anti-pirate but turned to piracy out of greed and laziness. For the time being, they don't appear to have noticed us to much. I have put the corp on highest alert and set Huzzah to red.

The Invicta. situation

Invicta. has put the BEG POS in reinforced mode again. This attack seems much more focused than the first one in April.

BEG's station will come out of reinforced tomorrow. They are going to try to fight off any attack when that happens, but then, win or lose, they are going to move their operation.

This attack reminds me of the old axiom that those who live by the sword will die by the sword. BEG certainly has done more than their share to fight the pirates who swarm the space around Intaki, but their overzealous use of their NBSI policy has led them into trouble before and appears to have done so again.

Regardless of the cause or outcome, ILF pilots will be in Intaki to help BEG with its POS, whether that be defending it or dismantling it.
