Caldari



The Caldari are a proud race built on the tenets of patriotism and capitalism but they are the embittered enemy of the Gallente Federation.The traditions held by their ancestors through hardships on an inhospitable homeworld, is still carried on today. The Caldari have a corporate dictatorship, led by leaders who are determined to see the return to the meritocratic ideals of their ancestors. They are ruthless and efficient in the boardroom as well as on the battlefield, the Caldari are living emblems of strength, persistence, and dignity.

In YC109, Tibus Heth unified the Caldari under one government and led them to take back Caldari Prime, ruled by the Gallente for nearly 200 years. After a brutal battle both in space and land, the Caldari took back their ancestral home and named the city of Arcurio as their new capital.

To ensure their world remained in their hands, the Caldari Navy deployed the CN Shiigeru, a Leviathan-class Titan, to protect the planet, and it did for five years until the Third Battle of Caldari Prime, when it was destroyed in a final attempt by the Gallente to reconquer the planet.

The Shiigeru exploded upon planetary entry, a portion of the prow approximately one kilometer (0.612 miles) in length crashed to the surface over the Kaalakiota mountains, the debris remaining there for nearly a year.

The orbital battle was a clear Gallente victory, but on the planet, the Caldari forces held their ground. The skirmishes continued for many more weeks until, through Ishukone's intervention, a ceasefire then peace was declared on the planet and partisan guardianship by Mordu's Legion was determined by both the Gallente and Caldari officials involved.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, the Caldari joined the Grand Alliance to fight the Gallente Federation again.
