EVE, I’m such a miner

Chapter 302: Integration Department (introduction, you don’t need to read it if you know it)

Concord was established more than a century ago, not long after the five empires had just established contact.

The five empires are: the Third Empire of Jupiter, the Amarr Empire, the Gallente Federation, the United Caldari States, and the Minmatar Republic.

At that time, the relationship between the five empires was tense. The Amarr Empire attempted to conquer Jupiter and Gallente. There is no doubt that the Amarr failed.

The Caldari and Gallente are still fighting an independence war, and the Minmatar, affected by the two major defeats of the Amarr Empire, also launched an independence war.

After the five empires established contact with each other, due to the existence of racial and cultural differences, conflicts and frictions continued, and the relationship was quite tense. Even at that time, many peaceful people were very worried about the outbreak of a cosmic war between the five forces.

In order to ease this tense situation and promote the peaceful development of the universe, the five major forces decided to establish a jointly operated organization to ease this atmosphere.

The five major forces joined forces to establish the Department of Unified Relations and Cooperation.

Of course, every organization and force was an inconspicuous existence when it was first established. The Ministry of Unified Relations and Cooperation did not escape this situation. The forces believed in using strength to speak, which made this young organization have no power at the negotiation table. There is no right to speak or normal regulatory and law enforcement rights.

No one thought that the now-famous Consolidated Ministry would have its moments of inconspicuousness.

However, the situation soon improved. After the disastrous battle between the Gallente and the Caldari - the Battle of Ian-Aosta, the people of both sides suffered greatly, and war-weariness enveloped both countries.

Even so, the hatred and strong national pride accumulated by the two empires during the war still did not allow them to sit at the negotiating table for peace talks. Just when everyone thought that this war would continue, the Ministry of Conformity issued a timely peace initiative.

In the early days, the department leaders of the Council were usually recommended by the forces, but now the Consolidated Ministry has begun to independently select department leaders. This decision ensured that CONCORD could maintain its political strategy of neutrality, but some conspiracy theorists also believed that CONCORD intended to become the "sixth power" because of this move.

This department is not only the armed force department of the Ministry of Conformity, but also a very powerful armed force in the world of New Eden. It is precisely because of this armed force that the Ministry of Conformity has aroused the vigilance of the forces.

After six months of negotiations, the two old enemies have finally achieved a historic reconciliation, ending a century-long war between them.

The largest department in the Consolidated Ministry and the most powerful department in the universe is the Joint Security Directorate (DED).

The main responsibility of the Joint Security Bureau is to track down notorious criminals, so they often hire bounty hunters, and are also responsible for bounty hunter licenses and legal matters.

As the current sixth largest force, the Department of Unified Relations and Cooperation is mainly composed of three departments.

Since then, the responsibilities and powers of the Ministry of Conformity have continued to increase. It was originally used to mediate and handle diplomacy between forces, and now it involves many fields such as trade, monetary policy, and combating crime.

For example, the Joint Security Bureau will publish the location of the pirate group's stronghold that it has obtained, and then it will become the various battle locations that the clone pilot sees on the scanning interface.

In recent decades, the power of CONCORD has continued to increase with the development of interstellar trade. It is no longer simply a neutral place for agreements between forces, but has become an independent institution with its own rules and regulations. This rapid expansion The rights have aroused the vigilance of the five major forces.

Its highest authority is the Concord Council. The entire Ministry of Integration's policies are decided at the Concord Council meetings. The participants mainly include leaders of the five Concord Council departments and representatives from the five major forces.

This department is also responsible for the management of clone pilots and the sanctions against clone flights that violate regulations.

The last and relatively inconspicuous department in the Integration Department is the Security and Commercial Committee (SCC).

After realizing the importance of interstellar trade and cosmic commerce, this department was proposed to be established by the Jupont Empire and the Minmatar Republic. It was then jointly operated by multiple forces to ensure a safe and secure world for New Eden. Unify and manage a collaborative trading environment. Trading rules, standard contracts, etc. are all established by this department.

The Joint Security Bureau and the Commercial Security Committee are currently the largest and most influential organizations within the Ministry of Integration.

Normally, many space travelers only interact with these two departments. For many people, DED may be the true face of the Consolidation Department.

Of course, an organization as large as the Ministry of Conformity cannot have only three departments. It's just that the other departments are small in scale, have little influence, and are unknown.

The internal workings of Concord are very democratic, and the five empires have an equal say in all matters.

Initially the Amarr Empire insisted on opposing the Minmatar Republic's entry into Concord, but later reluctantly agreed. However, the Amarr Empire still refuses to recognize the legitimacy of the Minmatar Republic.

But in recent years, their power has gradually increased along with interstellar trade.

CONCOD's growing power has caused concern in the Empire, and many have become alarmed, as CONCOD has always attempted to impose its regional autonomy on matters that were still internal to the Empire.

The basis for this development lies in the progress of CONCORD itself, which is no longer simply a neutral place for agreement between empires - it has become an independent agency with its own rules and regulations, and more importantly, it is willing and able to maintain these systems. The ever-expanding CONCORD has become an organization that is not biased towards any race.

Especially during the Elder War, an Elder fleet invaded the Yula system and attacked the headquarters space station of the Conformity Department.

The Consolidation Department closed the star gate in time to prevent the opponent's continuous reinforcements. However, as a result, the Conformity Department fleet in the Yula system was only 1/4 of the opponent's.

The space station that was once the headquarters of the Ministry of Conformity was destroyed, and countless people working for the Ministry of Conformity were killed. In the end, the Consolidation Department was able to survive thanks to the evacuation of this elder fleet.

During this battle, the clone pilots discovered that the Consolidation Unit, which basically killed their own ships instantly, was not performing well.

After some investigation, it was discovered that it was because of the intelligent control system "Aura" that the actual integration department was not that powerful at all.

After this incident, the Ministry of Conformity was rebuilt. This time, the Ministry of Conformity established its own forces and developed spacecraft belonging to the Ministry of Conformity: the Pacifier class, the Enforcer class, the Marshal class, and the Monitor class.

With greater military power, the Five Empires' only control over CONCORD, financial support, is dwindling as CONCORD's revenue from customs, confiscation of illegal goods, sales of licenses, and other matters is steadily increasing. .

The five empires have not yet considered stopping this development trend, because in general, the Conformity Department has done a very good job and there has been no abuse of power. But many fear that all may one day change.

Especially now, regarding the formation of the Consolidation Department: the New Eden United Defense Front, this proposal is still being debated.

This is a force specially formed by the Ministry of Conformity to deal with the Triglavians. Unlike paramilitary agencies such as the Joint Security Bureau, this will be a real military agency.

Rumor has it that a new spaceship from the Ministry of Conformity is under development.
