And you know so much about the Gaian's point of view how? Shouldn't we be asking the Gaian's around here what their point of view is?

Really? Look to the first post for answers to that. I am going to start ignoring people trying to use circular logic, or repeating the same question.

They are terrorists who target foreign shipping in Kusari, primarily Synth Foods.
They aren't a mercenary force used to invade foreign nations.

Are some people seriously saying that Gaians are against growing food? Really?
Honestly people, stick to the topic at hand. You aren't helping anyone by making these random off-topic attacks that Zelot addresses anyways, even though he should probably ignore them.

They're against the expansion of the growing of food via Planetforming, one of only two options available to Bretonia, the other being Synth Foods.
So, yes, after a fashion, they are.

Indeed. I think, however, that one of the greatest conflicts arising from this thread is that western ideals are being applied to a nation who's relationships are distinctly unwestern.
This is a mistake which is being performed by both sides.
Furthermore, while I abhor the utilization of real life references to a video game (it being the practice of the lazy and feeble minded in my humble opinion) the utilization of organizations such as Black Water is doubly inappropriate. An organization such as the Mandalorians would fit that model, whereas the FA, being a conservative domestic terrorist organization, would not.

And what the Gaians have clearly said is that they would prefer the third option available to them, food grown by Kusari farmers on traditional Kusari farms.

From this point on any posts pertaining to the Gaians will be deleted. Thank you and please stay on topic. -DL

Well no, by disco definitions they are not terrorists, nor are they considered terrorists by the Kusari government.

The chances are that there wouldn't be enough at competitive prices.
