Another Caldari storyline mission:

Fire and Ice
Two days ago, a covert Gallente strike team infiltrated and destroyed a brand new Command Center on a nearby ice planet.  We think they managed to infiltrate as local civilian workers due to the fact that the facility's Personnel Security Identification Systems had not yet been fully brought online.  This unfortunate lapse in security enabled the four-man team to gain access to a highly secure area that contains the controls for the counter-harmonic stabilizers which, in short, keep the entire facility level and secure in the very harsh climates encountered on that planet.  A series of well-placed explosives damaged these stabilizers, however, taking them offline and causing the entire command center to collapse and sink through the ice to the ocean floor some two kilometers below.  Fortunately, the bulk of the work force was not scheduled to arrive for two more weeks, so casualties were very light.  The financial and economic costs were, however, staggering.

Now that you understand the gravity of the situation, we can proceed to the reason that we contacted you to help us in this critical moment in the company's ongoing rapid expansion phase.  We need you to very quietly transport a company of our best Artic Warfare Marines from this station to the destination station with all possible haste.  From there they will be flown to the ice planet to provide a very high level of security for this and other nearby command centers and facilities.  It is just a matter of time before this disastrous event becomes public knowledge, and we need to prove to the senior management, shareholders, and investors that we have the security situations resolutely in hand.

So, [pilot], are you willing to help us out by delivering a large number of Arctic Marines to the designated station?

Need to Know
We have so far managed to keep this event a closely held secret, as we do not want to discourage the senior management of the company from further exploiting the extremely valuable materials that are in largely untapped abundance on the sea floor. If word of this was to get out at this critical stage, it might give them reason pack up and move to a safer location - perhaps even to another planet. Well, this would simply be unacceptable, as our new planetary interaction efforts have so far generated record revenues - the one thing keeping our shareholders and investors happy. And we want to keep them happy, if you understand my meaning. We must allow nothing to interrupt that flow of ISK into our corporate coffers.

Gallente seem to have decided that in revenge for the Caldari pulling the "small and fast fighter" game in the first Gal-Cal war, they're going to be pulling the "small and fast subterfuge" game in this one...

No, seriously. Seems like near every organization in EVE has serious opsec issues... of course, given the number of spies in player corps/alliances, who're we to be talking?

thats some nice info, is that part of the FW missions or just a regular one?

That wouldn't be FW, Bruce. At any rate, its hilarious that all these Caldari storylines are about Gallente infiltrators.

What I want to know is why Gallente storylines are about cultural things, and never about military affairs.
