Event (3)
- Arrest of Silphy en Diabel
Detained in New Caldari by Lai Dai Protection Services. Two Syndicate agents convicted in March named her under plea agreement.
synthesis
The pivot point between Jita-gate and the Syndicate conquest. Two Syndicate agents convicted in March named Silphy under plea, giving the Caldari Navy the legal cover to detain her in New Caldari and frame the broader Syndicate as compromised. Without this arrest, the conquest framing would not have held diplomatically.
- Caldari Conquest of Syndicate
Caldari Navy declared sovereignty over all 106 Syndicate systems. Most local authorities surrendered with limited fire exchange. First forcible empire annexation of nullsec in modern history.
synthesis
The first forcible empire annexation of nullsec in modern New Eden history. Caldari Navy seized 106 systems against minimal resistance, framed as retaliation for Silphy's role in Jita-gate. Strategically eliminates the buffer state Lai Dai had been working through; structurally hands Mountain+Ocean factions the win they couldn't get politically.
- Trial of Silphy en Diabel
Scheduled for YC128.05.19 — the Tuesday after Fanfest, the trigger for the final week of the Warpath live-event cycle. Silphy's legal representative read a statement asserting her innocence and telling the authorities not to waste their time on a trial — widely read as ominous (Syndicate retaliation anticipated).
Organization (2)
- Intaki Syndicate
Loose autonomous federation in Syndicate region. Founded by Caldari-sympathetic Intaki exiles after Caldari Rebellion. Each station autonomous; non-political officially.

Loose autonomous federation in the Syndicate region. Founded by Caldari-sympathetic Intaki exiles after the Caldari Rebellion; each station autonomous; non-political officially. The conquest YC128.05.05 ended its sovereignty but not its membership network — which now operates as a fugitive financial / smuggling structure with capital ships escaping into highsec.
- Lai Dai Corporation
Caldari mega-corp. Forest-faction-aligned. Major beneficiary of Jita IV-4 renovations and Hypernet network. Stole Intaki mind-transfer tech ~YC119. Holds Khanid Amarr ties.
synthesis
Caldari mega-corp, Forest-axis anchor. Major beneficiary of Jita IV-4 renovations and the Hypernet network — both of which the Warpath restrictions on Jita have just severely impaired. Stole Intaki mind-transfer tech ~YC119. Holds Khanid Amarr ties. The structural loser of the YC128 cycle so far.

Intaki Syndicate Chair, governor of Poitot. Former Sister of EVE; expelled after Serpentis collaboration. Estranged ally of Sentona Sarpati. Engineered Pas station famine and Aukron coup to seize power. Detained YC128.05.01.
synthesis
Daughter of the original Syndicate unifier; expelled from the Sisters of Eve after her Serpentis collaboration. Engineered the Pas station famine to seize control of Poitot, then methodically consolidated power across the Syndicate. Her arrest YC128.05.01 broke the Syndicate's leadership backbone and gave the Caldari the pretext to annex.
