Galactic Hour News Roundup: Fall of Niarja Shocks Amarr Empire and Caldari State
Caldari State Worker Protests Grow in Frequency and Number after Tunudan and Ahtila Lost
New Caldari Prime - The Caldari State's loss of Tunudan system, during the Battle of Niarja, and the subsequent loss of the Ahtila system, have caused further uproar and unrest in the Caldari State. With the direct trading link to the Amarr Empire effectively cut, mid-tier executive classes and workers alike are expressing fears of the economic consequences as well as reacting to the seeming collapse of Caldari State military fortunes in the war itself.
Several megacorporation spires and arcologies on New Caldari Prime have seen their parks and market squares inundated with worker protests, with corporate security forces limiting themselves to blocking access to upper tier zones and vital infrastructure. While the protests erupting on New Caldari Prime itself are a mark of the anger and confusion amongst workers on the capital planet, there have been uncounted incidents of protest and unrest across the Caldari State.
Protests are particularly lively in corporate territories controlled by the Hyasyoda, Ishukone, Kaalakiota, Sukuuvestaa and Wiyrkomi megacorporations, with it being clear that their corporate security and military forces are under orders to act with extreme restraint. However, even territories controlled by CBD, Lai Dai and Nugoeihuvi are seeing protests despite the reputation for harsh responses from the security forces of those megacorps.
The Chief Executive Panel has been in emergency session for two days and it is rumored that a universal state of emergency will be declared amidst talk that the leadership of the Caldari Navy and other branches of the State Armed Forces are under house arrest. Corporate security force officers from all of the "Big 8" private militaries have reportedly been organized into a "Transitional General Staff of the Corporate State of the Caldari People" under the direct authority of the CEP.
While corporate security forces have shown exceptional restraint in the face of worker protests, it has been reported there have been raids against underworld groups and clashes with alleged Templis Dragonaur cells, Guristas Pirate affiliates, and even gangs loyal to the Angel Cartel. While there has been silence from the upper echelons of the Caldari Navy, senior field officers have criticized the planning and execution of the recent refit of units seconded to EDENCOM service. Some line officers have also spoken of sabotage and subversion by Provists attempting to "undermine the order of our Corporate State."
External observers of Caldari State politics, particularly in the Gallente and Minmatar media, are even speculating that a long-burning "corporate shadow war" is about to break out into open conflict. Advocates of this theory point to a number of incidents in the last five years and more indicating corporate conflict and re-alignment of interests within the State.

Protests and Unrest Grow as Caldari State Loses Yet More Systems to the Triglavian Collective
New Caldari Prime - Large-scale protests and political demonstrations continue across the Caldari State as more and more Caldari star systems fall to the Triglavian invaders. With Kaunokka, Komo, Nani, Urhinichi and Wirashoda adding to the considerable tally conquered by the Triglavians, there are now 16 Caldari systems fully-occupied by the Triglavian Collective.
Many Caldari citizens have expressed shock and horror at the number of temperate planets and colonized oceanic and barren worlds the last wave of conquests have brought under Triglavian control. Fears that the Triglavians intend to "harvest" more than just the stars of the systems they conquer are sweeping the Caldari State, with protests consequently becoming progressively more vigorous and in some cases openly violent.
Caldari State security forces and the corporate police of the megacorps have shown uncharacteristic restraint in most instances, clearly under the strictest orders from the CEP and their corporate leadership. However, a number of incidents have spiralled out of control.
The deployment of "parahaze" gas on thousands of protestors in the park surrounding the Nugoeihuvi Corporation's headquarters spire on New Caldari Prime caused seven deaths and a number of injuries. Spacelane Patrol troops freshly deployed to CBD holdings on Muvolailen VIII used sonic "crowd dispersal" weapons resulting in the hospitalization of several hundred protestors. The CEP has condemned "anti-corporate agitators" for "initiating violence against corporate security forces and property".
For their part, millions of corporate citizens of every worker and executive classification short of the top echelons of megacorporation leadership have voiced some level of open disquiet and dismay at the performance of the Caldari Navy in the face of the Triglavian invaders. The protests have even gained the support of a member of the powerful Seituoda family.
Akari Seituoda, former CEO of Wiyrkomi-Seituoda Heavy Industries, spoke from retirement on New Caldari Prime saying, "The Caldari people are right to expect the State and Corporations to provide for effective defense of the Caldari way of life. To protest in the face of evident and criminal incompetence is not only understandable it is, to me, required as a citizen's duty within our way of life."

Caldari State Megacorporations Maintain State of Emergency as CEP Remains Deadlocked
New Caldari Prime - The Caldari State's emergency measures in the wake of the New Caldari Prime CEP spire bombing continue to be in effect as the aftermath of the terrorist attack remains unresolved. Despite having multiple offsite and offworld clone backups, CEP Chair Puok Kossinen has not returned to his post due to the recovery of his living body in the wreckage of CEP Spire. In an apparent fluke, the CEP Chair survived the bombing but is reportedly in "a deep coma with indications of significant brain trauma." While Kossinen is reported as likely to recover after extensive therapy, the irony of his survival preventing a backup clone activation has had real effects on the Caldari State's crisis wracked politics.
The "Big 8" megacorporations are reported to be in "deadlock" as to a way forward for the CEP, with the powerful "Mountain Faction" of Kaalakiota and Sukuuvestaa apparently undecided between themselves as to which candidate to back for a provisional or even new permanent CEP Chair. The diametrically opposed "Ocean" (Ishukone, Hyasyoda, and Wiyrkomi) and "Forest" (CBD, Lai Dai, and NOH) factions lack the votes to push their own favored candidates. Reports of incidents involving "rioter vandalism" or "corporate security abuses" continue to be exchanged by worker and executive groups on various Caldari State communications channels despite the state of emergency, adding to a widespread sense that the "Big 8" have lost control.

Chief Executive Panel Agree to Appoint Akimaka Saraki Acting Chairperson
New Caldari Prime – Deadlock on the Caldari State's Chief Executive Panel was broken this morning with the appointment of Akimaka Saraki as acting Chairperson of the CEP. The ruling council of Caldari State megacorporations has been without a chairperson since CEP Chair Puok Kossinen was injured in the bombing of the CEP Spire in Landfall City on New Caldari Prime.
The appointment of acting Chair Saraki is a coup for the Ocean Faction of Hyasyoda, Ishukone and Wiyrkomi corporations, representing a deal that saw the Mountain Faction of Kaalakiota and Sukuuvestaa agree to back an appointee from the Wiyrkomi megacorporation. Most recently serving as Caldari State delegate to the CONCORD Inner Circle, Saraki was notable in helping avert a major conflict due to the Equilibrium of Mankind crisis. His service during the Triglavian Invasions is also held to be a distinct advantage, with his role overseeing the fortification of Wiyrkomi holdings in the Samanuni system and personal command of the planetary defense of the sixth planet contributing to the successful repulsion of Triglavian forces.
Akimaka Saraki is also the son-in-law of Akari Seituoda, retired CEO of Wiyrkomi-Seituoda Heavy Industries and a member of the dynasty that controls the Wiyrkomi megacorporation. Akari Seituoda has been outspoken in his acknowledgement of the basis for worker grievances during the recent unrest in the State, and Saraki is known to be sympathetic to those outraged by the failings of the military and corporate security forces.
The appointment of Saraki as acting CEP Chair may indicate that the Ocean Faction has persuaded the stability- and security-oriented Mountain Faction to take a path of reform and reconciliation with aggrieved worker populations. Regardless of whether that is so, the Forest Faction of CBD, Lai Dai and NOH has undoubtedly been dealt a blow, and may have to tread carefully to avoid the Ocean-Mountain axis solidifying into a permanent alliance.
