Thoughts: Salvage drones.   Mannar knife fighting?  Nice to see the inside of Gallente megacorp politics.  And...

[spoiler] Quafe is people! [/spoiler]

Discuss.

Dammit you beat me to the joke.

Nice to see a Gallente megacorp in action.

And yes, Quafe hasn't been exactly a white hat corporation even before, mixing mind control drugs in one of their product prototypes. Wonder how difficult it would be to, like, syntethise flavouring agents, though...

...mixing mind control drugs in one of their product prototypes.

That would be Quafe Unleashed!

Seriously though. I joked about this subject a couple of times... but didn't think they'd do it.

...wonder if Blackjack has a case of them.

[Yoshito Sanders]

Reminds me of something...

Hmm...

Interesting chron. I'm not entirely sure what Gheyr Aillon'd plot was, since it seems he knows he'd be caught. Perhaps he was just getting the wealth from the project and then going into hiding? I might be missing something there though.

I note that they give the average number of bodies recovered from a capusleer engagement where 30 ships are destroyed at 1,000.

I don't really have a good feel for how many ships in an engagement like that are likely to be battleships vs cruisers vs frigates, but it seems to me that this implies a very good escape and survival rate for crew on those ships destroyed.

Interesting to see how Gallente megacorporations are basically Practicals.They have no reason to behave on any other route than to make money, really.

I think it is important to remember the Federal government can place restrictions on the activities of corporations in its jurisdiction.  The State, at least in its "ideal" form, can not do so.  This likely means CreoDron and Quafe (who have stations in the State) are doing something the Federal government might frown upon.

Profit motive (ie. greed) is a pretty universal concept. 

[Mithfindel]

Note on numbers recovered: Some bodies might make it alive. Some might not be recognizable bodies. Not all might be possible to recover, even. So without additional knowledge, the numbers can be twisted in either direction.

On a related note, wasn't it mentioned somewhere that True Slaves were also recovering survivors? Also, Boundless Creations used to have a recovery service - likely several similar corps around EVE (in addition to Sisters of EVE, who also recover people).

[Vincent Pryce]

I liked this chronicle.

Also imagine a Gallente Adult Holovideo exclusive brand made of Exotic Dancers

Quafe Eros - Don't be a pussy, Drink it!

[Casiella]

Also, Boundless Creations used to have a recovery service - likely several similar corps around EVE (in addition to Sisters of EVE, who also recover people).

Both of those groups actually get passing mentions in the chron.

[Saede Riordan]

Hmmm, this seems familiar

This news article is what I think your referring to: Sansha Vessels Seen Picking Amongst the Dead

Notably the Angel Cartel are mentioned in The Burning Life as having their own group which picks up escape pods and likely doubles as corpse retrieval. I imagine most factions operate similar services for morale, religious, or economic reasons leaving capsuleer losses the most profitable target for independent harvesters.

[Myyona]

I have seen that Angel ship.
