'This won't hurt, but I promise if it does, you won't remember any of it' a sweet voice coos to me... the last memory I have before I wake up for the last time ever,

It's cold, but also warm. I can't hear anything, I try to move my arms but I don't feel them. My legs are...gone. I can't feel anything anymore. I take a breath and never exhale. Am I dead? I try to open my eyes and my mind explodes. The rush of feeling everything again for the first time hits me all at once, I am dead and alive, I am eternal. I am a capsuleer.

This CNSOD operative has elected to forsake his family name in order to afford them a shield of privacy and attenuation of bloodshed whilst conducting operations. His familial memories have been extracted and supplanted by the most extreme of training regimes. The only original reference to his pre-militarized consciousness resides in the serial code above his front right temporal lobe. Upon discharge memories of family and pre-service life will be restored, if requested.

The Caldari Navy is smaller in personnel and total ships than both the Federation Navy and the Amarr Navy, yet they have more battleships than any other fleet and the average age of the Caldari ships is considerably less. This is because the Caldari are constantly replacing their oldest ships with newer ones, with better hi-tech equipment. The strategic doctrine of the Caldari Navy is simple: to be able to defeat any other navy in new Eden. Most experts believe it is.
